Ecology NOW

I have just come across the most fascinating animal; the Maned Wolf which is neither a fox or wolf despite appearance or name but a distinct species. It is so thin, you could be forgiven for missing it , if you were looking at it side on. At ninety centimetres high, from paw to shoulder it is nearly as tall as my mum! Unique to South America they are nearly extinct in Uruguay and considered vulnerable in Brazil.

So many decisions, for starters: do I go for an accordion, no staples, micro-mini or stack and strap format zine? Should I collage, use lettroset, carbon paper, black pen or a combination? Vegan printing ink or photocopy and what exactly is the best Eco option. How exactly will I ensure I make enough copies and how and where can I distribute them? So many questions whirling round my head, good job I’ll be meeting zine textile artist Saleena Daye at the end of the month to get guidance on how to move forwards. I have a clearer picture in my head of what the content will be having narrowed it down to two potential ideas so it is a case of wait, test some more and develop.
