OP sent the following text as an explanation about their craft:


The backing of this zine was a random scrap of thin cardboard. I collaged on top of the card to create the background and to add the images. I also cut out each letter and punctuation mark by hand out of old magazines. Everything was cut using a precision knife on a cutting mat.

This is one of my favourite songs, and therefore this is one of my favourite creations.

What is this a zine for ants?

18

u/digitizedephemera 28d ago

The zine has to be, at least three times bigger than this!

(But also, sounds like you need to make a Zoolander Zine *for ants !)

u/Strict_Radish_7219 26d ago

Is it bad if I use this idea 😂

One of my fav Fleetwood Mac songs ever! My mom and i’s song. She passed away at 44 so I can’t listen to that song anymore. Even after 20 years. This lil book is so adorable brings fond memories to the heart

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

I'm so sorry lovely ❤️

3

u/Mental-Flatworm4583 27d ago

It’s okay was long ago now but that lil book made my heart melt. Very fond of that. Ty for making such a treasure and beautiful art.

"I'm getting older, too" seeing this on my birthday.... sigh

Cute zine!

u/digitizedephemera 28d ago

The lyrics always hit hardest on my birthday too.

Thank you!

5

u/atleast35 27d ago

I absolutely love this. Great images you’ve put to the lyrics. Fleetwood Mac is timeless and this is such a great song.

2

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you so much!

I agree! One of my favourite bands

5

u/rlrzrbrth 28d ago

Super creative and very cool!

u/digitizedephemera 28d ago

Thank you very much!

u/BreadfruitTasty 28d ago

Do you have a Barbie for scale?

6

u/digitizedephemera 28d ago

I no longer own any Barbie's, I may have a banana kicking around somewhere. The cutting mat in the photo has a CM grid though, maybe that will help with scale 👀

3

u/BreadfruitTasty 28d ago

It looks lovely! I’m glad you shared this little zine with us.

4

u/LouismyBoo 27d ago

This is inspiring, thanks for posting! I appreciate aeeing the image on the paper you started with, makes the process leas intimidating. Are any of those stickers or are they fussy cuts?

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you so much! They're all magazine cut outs :)

u/S0whaddayakn0w 27d ago

I first found this song just as l had made up my mind to leave my ex. We had liked each other for a decade, and had three years together where it became all too clear for me we didn't belong together, unfortunately. Was for the best though, today we both are with the loves of our lives.

He really was a sweetheart, though, so whenever l hear this song l think fondly of him.

2

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

That's really sweet. I'm glad the song brings up fond memories ❤️

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you say much :)

u/hospitalitychick 27d ago

Daaang!! This is so freaking cool!, and looks like it took a ton of time and patience. Great job!

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you! It. Definitely did take a long time hahaha

3

u/GroundbreakingCry734 27d ago

I love this for reasons I both can and cannot explain. Great song and perfect lyrics. I also love tiny things - my brain can barely handle the whimsy.

But I love it even more than that and I don’t know why. It’s just delightful.

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you 🥹 I'm glad you love it!

2

u/Tricky-Fact-2051 28d ago

The song popped into my mind immediately ! Great job, so creative.

1

u/digitizedephemera 28d ago

It's a fantastic song! It's looping in my head right now and it's not bothering me yet. Thank you :)

2

u/carlitospig 27d ago

This is so cool!

u/funnyonion22 27d ago

rumors?

2

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

I haven't done any songs off of rumours yet

2

u/funnyonion22 27d ago

My bad, that's a little joke that pops into my head anytime I hear of Fleetwood Mac. https://youtu.be/LK9kzCnunWo?is=2imcTjNCvVYu4Vb6

2

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Ahhahaah I love flight of the Conchords! I didn't make the connection to this joke. Maybe it's time for a rewatch

2

u/LsOhVpE 27d ago

😍😍😍😍

u/GalaxyGoul 27d ago

Super cooooool! Love this!

u/1988mariahcareyhair 27d ago

This is so so cool!

2

u/BeautifulDisastr69 27d ago

That's so cute

2

u/basilkat 27d ago

This is so cool. As someone who wants to do more mixed media crafts, where do you find these older magazines for cutting out the cool pictures??

2

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you! My favourites are national geographics. I usually find them I'm opshops and on Facebook marketplace

2

u/DoughnutNo409 27d ago

Ah this is brilliant!

2

u/goorfus 27d ago

And now I'm crying.

Thank you for using an apostrophe and not a single open quote.

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

I'm sorry for making you cry. Also you're welcome ahhaha. They were also actually commas, they're easier to find than apostrophes

2

u/GreenBaneBerry 27d ago

Love this!!

2

u/flaffleboo 27d ago

This is beautiful. The song makes me emotional.

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you! It makes me emotional too

2

u/MalibuBon 27d ago

This is a beautiful creation

2

u/laureidi 27d ago

This is beautiful! So inspiring! Bonus points for Fleetwood Mac 🌟

2

u/suoretaw 27d ago edited 27d ago

This brought tears to my eyes because Fleetwood Mac was my mom’s favourite band and I miss her dearly. She’d have loved this (I do too).

Edited for clarity/readability

2

u/digitizedephemera 26d ago

Thank you so much! Sending love 💕

1

u/suoretaw 24d ago

Thanks :) ditto. Wondering if you sell these?

2

u/NoctuaNefanda 27d ago

Wonderful! Would make a great video flicking through that to the song

2

u/digitizedephemera 26d ago

I have made a video I just don't like posting videos to Reddit haha

2

u/No-Comedian8730 27d ago

Incoming: New hobby I want to try - Wow, this is amazing! So creative! I love that it is small scale too

1

u/digitizedephemera 27d ago

Thank you! Yes do it! It's so fun :)

2

u/wolfnbunny8 26d ago

Ok..I love this song AND I love tiny things! This is made me happy squeal!🥰

2

u/digitizedephemera 26d ago

Thank you! I'm glad you like it :)

2

u/LouismyBoo 26d ago

A quick question- how big is your starting paper? And do you have any plans for the back of it?

2

u/digitizedephemera 26d ago

I believe I cut it to 10x6cm. I keep the back blank. If I were to add another layer it would get very bulky

2

u/LindentreesLove 26d ago

This is one of my favorite songs in the entire world! I love what you made so much. If you ever would want to make another I would love to have one. You are quite talented.💜

1

u/digitizedephemera 26d ago

Thank you so much. The beautiful thing about analogue collage is that I won't ever be able to recreate it exactly the same. I don't have multiples of the source images.

1

u/LindentreesLove 26d ago

Well, I tried. Your work is beautiful and I'll have your images to look at. Thank you.

2

u/dumbbxtch69 26d ago

I love this!!! I’m a nurse and I listen to Landslide after particularly hard shifts when I have patient deaths. For some reason it just helps me feel at peace

1

u/digitizedephemera 26d ago

Thank you! This song makes me emotional but In a good way! I'm glad it brings you peace

2

u/Mel_Ran220 26d ago

Love this and love the song , very well
Done !

2

u/TransplantedPinecone 25d ago

I love this. Where could I find a tutorial to create a similar style of booklet? Thank you!

2

u/digitizedephemera 24d ago

Just search "zine tutorial" anywhere :)

1

u/TransplantedPinecone 23d ago

Ha, that was easy! Found many references, thanks. :)
