Here's a little mini-zine "how-to" video, which is also a taster of what I’ll be sharing next week!
But wait! Why suddenly a how-to video?
Well, recently I took three months off Instagram to write an album, but instead I ended up moving over to Substack to share poetry and personal essays. Substack feels like a perfect way for me to bring all my creative interests; self-reflection, healing, music, poetry, illustration, together in one manageable place. My thinking is: if Substack is essentially a personal magazine, why not create an actual mini-zine to go with it?
Writing music has been tough on my injured brain. During those three months off Instagram, I wrote about eight unfinished tracks and struggled to complete any (thanks perfectionism!) However, some great ideas came out of those sessions, so now I can share snippets of those tracks alongside my other creative projects. Eventually, I might finish that album, but for now, these smaller creative steps feel perfect.
Oh, and by the way—Trees Can Talk is my music handle. If you're interested, you can explore some of my past work over on Bandcamp.
This is really cool. So the cut facilitates the folding somehow
Ooh, pretty nifty! Thanks!
