I am really proud of this project. I hope I am getting better at design and book binding. It is a lot of work but I think it will be greatly appreciated and for me, the process is meditative, so I am really enjoying it. I am posting 20 issues for pre-order on my Etsy shop.  

As for the zine swap, it is nearly done. I am going to revamp the I heart zines site, so check back in a few days.

This zine looks amazing. I can see a lot of work and thought went into making it.

I love mine!!!
I've only looked through it so far, but anticipate lots of fun playing :)

Alma, I would like to officially invite you to contribute a lil something to my regular zine, A Handmade Life. Come take a peek at my blog and see if you might be interested!

Thanks a million!

SoulCraft Zine is....rockin!!!

I am crazy about my copy! I want to write and journal and doodle in it...but not until I admire it some more. Thanks, Alma.

groovy zine going on! i'm guilty of thinking "i need to buy new stuff" so the recycling aspect of it with such a cool outcome is appealing.

Love the zine! Best Wishes for 2009!!!

Hugs

Alma,

I just stopped in to wish you the very best in 09! This zine looks AMAZING! Thank you for all the inspiration and INSIGHT you have given us through your blog & LIFE!

I for one am very grateful.

xo, me :)

Oh wow this is SOOOO beautiful Alma, congratulations on making something so special and beautiful! I want to sign up for the zine swap, please let me know when a new one is up!? Thanks! Maybe you should have a mailing list for this site?

Cannot wait to get mine in the mail and start playing!

You *should* be very proud of soulcraft, Alma, because it is fabulous! I've already used some of the inclusions for an "arty" envelope, and I know I will be diving in again and again. Hope you had a great holiday! (And -- I can hardly wait to sign up for the next zine swap. Amazing work done by all.)

Your zine looks wonderful. Packed full of color, beauty and inspiration.

I am posting about this on the CROQ blog! This looks like an amazing project.
