As usual, I was up the night before printing and stapling my new zine together. This one I made with a friend. We stayed up for 24 hours and took one photo an hour to a set theme.
James explains our new zine:
Sometimes drifting through time’s gentle currents and eddies you’re able to watch, as if moving past motorised dioramas in a papier mâché cave, life actually happening. The collective construction of the present. Minuscule moments of habit. We wanted to mark with a keen eye the details of one day as it’s assembled. For twenty four hours, these were our lives as we lived them.
I also made a few craft collage kits to sell at the Tokyo Art Book Fair.
Pompom socks!
Soooo cute!
Multi coloured manicures and handmade skirts.
'Intense pegging' (as referenced by one of my instagram followers) after losing my $50 polka dot Castle and Things pillow case.

ReplyDeleteHello! Thank you so much for your kind words about The Worst Fun zine! Oh, at the moment we aren't selling it online, but if that changes I will let you know. Thanks so much for your interest.
Deletelovely pictuers :) i makes my heart long for tokyo again!
ReplyDeletei used your tokyo guide when i was in tokyo this summer, and it helped me so much to get around and find stores and places i never would have found without it! like tokyo hands and the moomin cafe! <3 thanks for your inspiring blog and amazing guide <333
Thank you so much. I'm so happy my guide was useful for you in Tokyo. I hope you weren't too hot here. Tokyo Summer can be pretty brutal. Thank you for reading Hello Sandwich and your kind words. xoxo
DeleteGreat photos! What is that cool camera at the end?
ReplyDeleteHey Jared! How are you? Staying dry on this rainy grey Tokyo day I hope?
DeleteThat cute camera belongs to a friend of mine. It's a instax mini 90 if I'm not wrong. It's so lovely - a really retro design and the print outs come out at business card size prints. It reminds me of the days when I first started working at VOGUE when we used to get polaroids to check a shot.
Hope you're well.
Love Sandwich

I am so glad that I just discovered your charming little blog. :) Your paper creations have brought a sparkle to my eye and inspired me as a fellow snail mail/stationary enthusiast. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh that's so lovely if you to say Sarah! I really really really love letter writing. Have you had a moment to check my pinterest? I have a little 'Letter writing' board with lots of nice ideas by creative people that might be of interest to you.

Hello! How are you lovely? It's so nice to see your comment here. Yes, see you at Sophie et Chocolat's exhibition! I can't wait! See you at the party!
DeleteThis post is so happy! It cheered up my day.I love all the colorful items in it!
ReplyDeleteThe Tokyo Artbook Fair looks gorgeous. Last November I was introduced to zines by a friend while attending Design Festa and I became very interested into them. Seeing so many piqued my curiosity. "The Worst Fun" looks the most interesting. What is it about?
I love your blog, thank you for sharing such beautiful stories! :)

Thank you so much for your nice comment. I'm so pleased you could enjoy it.
DeleteThank you for your interest in the little zine. I made this zine with a friend who lives in Sydney. We stayed awake for 24 hours and took a photo an hour to a theme. It was challenging (especially around 4am...) but a great exercise and wonderful to see the pics together now in a little handmade book. Do you like taking photos too? It's a fun project to try if you do. I also took a photo an hour for a normal day (i.e. not 24 hours ha ha). You can see it here:
