Hello hello readers! I have to open by saying I'm so sorry my last post was over two weeks (!) ago, time has slipped away from me! I have been working on several other projects that I am really excited about - including my first zine! My first exposure to them was really Marlena - whose posts on zines (here & here) made me realize that making one wouldn't be impossible (which I thought it would be!) and now I am forever indebted to her :3
Above is a close-up of the cover for my in-process, as-yet-unnamed zine (which will be available as a pdf), and I couldn't be happier with it ;_; I am actually looking for contributors, so please shoot me an email at hellomermaidens@gmail.com for more information if you are interested (I definitely do not bite, so please send me your ideas)!
And finally, Mermaidens has a new layout! I had my previous one for over 6 months, and it was definitely time for a change - what do you think?
Regular posts will resume soon!
♥, Kailey
Oooh, how exciting! Very pretty artwork. Love the new layout too!
ReplyDeletecant wait for the zine! I am actually making one myself now, but I just started, its a collab between two bloggers. I like the new layout, it nicely complements the name of the blog :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI AM WILDLY IN LOVE WITH YOUR NEW LAYOUT. How great did that mermaid outfit reconstruction turn out?
ReplyDeleteI'll drop you a line re your zine. It sounds fun.
Yey,I love the new layout!Your zine looks awesome! ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to see it finished! :D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the finished project! Not to be creepy, but I've just read back a few pages into your blog and it's really amazing. Especially the Anna Karina tutorial. I think Une Femme Est Une Femme is probably my favorite movie of all time, mostly because of Anna. She's perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'll send you an e-mail about the zine if you don't mind, I've always wanted to get involved in one.

Ahh, fun! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Love the illustration - you're crazy talented, in case I haven't said that lately. And love the new layout! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting! That sounds like a great project. The illustration is adorable...I can't wait to see the finished zine! :)
ReplyDeleteThe new layout is totally rad! The pink is so happy!
ReplyDeleteKailey, I love your new layout! It's so clean and easy to navigate! Love the new font and graphics too!

I love the new layout. Look forward to more posts xx
ReplyDeleteI love the new layout! Did you draw the header yourself? And the frame around your photo in the sidebar is to-die-for. I have a thing for frames.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the zine! I have always been interested in making one myself, but I'm not that great of an artist I think.
I drew the header and the frame myself, yes! Thank you so much!
DeleteAww, don't say that! One of my favorite aspects of zines is that you are in control, and can do anything you want with the zine - it doesn't matter if you are the best writer or artist, just write or illustrate what you feel, and that will be good enough <33
Gorgeous artwork! I love the new layout, hand drawn type is my favorite! :)
ReplyDeleteThe new layout is so adorable! Can`t wait for your zine (eek!).

ReplyDeleteThe zine sounds amazing and I'm looking to it very much. I would love to contribute, but I don't know what with! Eeeh. I'll get my thinking cap on and let my fingers type furiously at the keyboard :)
I am in love with your new layout!! Seriously I feel like I'm in a fairy tale when I'm here. It's just wonderful Kailey! Great job :)
ReplyDeletemaking butch was probaby the highlight of my year so kudos to you! zine making is super gratifying. p.s i love your new layout! how did you create it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback Roma! <3
DeleteTo make my header, I sketched out the logo on a piece of paper, scanned it in, and then cleaned it up and made adjustments in Photoshop Illustrator and Photoshop CS4 (my mother is a professional illustrator, and I am lucky enough to be able to use her stuff for my own projects)!
Your new layout is super cute! And well done on the zine work! I loved working on wee zines in the past but it can be quite consuming! :) I hope you have a wonderful week! Zoë x
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!!!! Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteAw, you do everything perfectly -- everything's always right up my street! Beautiful layout and I can't wait to hear/see more of your zine... :)
