Zine: What I learned from studying abroad








A handy little zine for how to identify potential time travelers.





To make the background for this zine, I started with white cardstock paper. I used distress oxide inks (3 shades of blue) and blended them on the paper with a sponge applicator. This ink reacts with water, so I used a gear stencil and traced the gear shapes with a brush and plain water. That's what made the sort of ghost-looking gears. I used watercolor brush pens with the stencil to create the darker blue and purple gears. The blue and orange clock faces (most of the cover page and the clock faces on the inside pages) are scrapbook paper that I happened to have and fit perfectly. :)

“So You Met Your Doppelgänger” is a hand-drawn mini zine printed on an 8.5"x 11" sheet of paper and hand-folded. The finished zine is 8 pages and approximately 4.25 inches x 2.75 inches.
This fictional zine is a handy guide for what to do when you meet your doppelgänger (whether they’re a clone, from an alternate universe, or a time traveler).
This is my most popular zine! You can read it below. Physical copies are available to purchase on Etsy.
My inspiration for this zine came from my freshman year of college. The women who lived in the dorm next to me were both radio DJs and often had music blasting in their room. I didn’t mind—they had great taste!—and I found lots of songs I like through them.
The idea of finding music you like through people around you expanded into the pages of this zine.
I tried something new for me—monochrome. Only gray and black pens and markers in this zine. I like how it turned out.




I made an escape room zine! Check out the puzzles below. If you try solving them and have questions or want to check answers, please send me an email.
Happy puzzling!
