Dee's Creates: Simple Smiles - Whimsicals by Caroline

Besides owning my Virtual Assistant Service, I'm a Artist on the side.

I've always had a creative spirit since I was a child. I loved to draw, color and my favorite was creating collages.

 

​I have recently discovered "Zines" 

 

"A zine is a small, self-published magazine or booklet, often created independently to explore niche topics, personal expression, or subcultural interests."

​

A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is a noncommercial, often homemade or independently produced publication that typically circulates in small quantities, usually fewer than 1,000 copies, though some may reach up to 5,000 readers.

 

The term originates from “fanzine,” a blend of “fan” and “magazine,” reflecting its roots in fan communities and enthusiast-driven content.

 

Unlike mainstream magazines, zines are created outside traditional publishing channels, giving creators complete freedom to explore unconventional topics, personal stories, art, music, politics, or social commentary."
