Creative Minds Wanted

 

Creative Lane Zine is seeking contributors! Since our first issue is now being kept at the State Library, we would like to start our second issue and keep the creative lane zine going!

We are looking for creative people who are interested in craft, illustration, designs, films, photography, writing, interview with local artists, home decoration, reporting local cafe or shops, etc etc.Content and pages are not limited but should be children friendly and not offensive.

Send me a copy of your work in A4 pdf or photoshop format with a brief description of yourself (where you base, email? website? etc) and we'll be in touch!

Unfortunately we cannot afford to pay all the contributors at the moment, but all your hard work will be noted and thank at the first page and your own page. We are hoping to make it a paid job as soon as we get any funding!!

Creative Lane Artist: Joyjoie

OMG! Look at all these handmade teepees by Joyjoie! They are way too cute!! If I have a child I definitely get one! Well in fact I think I will try to get Iain to buy myself one later... but look at them! How can you not want one for yourself? 

 I have designed a modern twist on the traditional teepee to suit apartment living. The joyjoie teepee allows children to develop independence and imagination in their own nurturing space. It islike no other, with removable decorations including print doorsand 26 individual wall art decorations, the look can be changed with a families changing interests. The teepee can even be dressed up for a special events such as Christmas.

I have a large range of decoration packs that I will sell with the teepee’s so plenty of variety for people to choose from.

Enjoy the Joyjoie website and its evolution blog!
