Just a quick reminder, the posted deadline for the next Altered Bits Zine is September 1st. The current issue’s theme is “Black and White”. If interested in participating, send hi-res photos, title of your piece, a short blurb about your piece, your name and location, contact info and a brief bio. Oh, and if it’s for sale. This zine will include any or all of the following: assemblages, found object art, paintings, mixed media pieces, jewelry, photography, hand-made or altered books — just keep it within the black and white theme and you could be in this next issue. The last issue was viewed by over 3k people within the first week or two so this is a fun way to let others see just how amazingly talented you are! I may push the deadline out a bit due to it being summer and traveling time for many of us but don’t let that delay you. 🙂 (kerin!) (just kidding)
You can find all the details on my main website, Altered Bits, HERE on the zine page. Or you can just email me everything mentioned above to: hi at altered bits dot com.
Also, I’ve started adding a link section to this blog for all past zine participants. I am super slow and have only added a fraction of what I should. Feel free to leave a comment with your URL if I haven’t added it yet — it’s nothing personal — I’m just doing this as I have time… which I haven’t much these days. 🙂
Have a great and creative Monday!

Hey darlin!
Hope all is going well? 🙂 I will be honest I have not had time to do anything “new” for your black & white. So, can I submit that piece I did for the “1000 Journal”? Remember the one with the cemetary in New Orleans and the angels?
Talk to you soon…xo…deb

Sometimes little accidents can be great for a piece— but I can why this one— blood — wouldn’t be one of those “happy little accidents” to incorporate in the work. I am starting to get up the nerve to use all the beeswax I have just from seeing your work. I am working on a black and white piece but have company this whole week but I hope to finish it next week. HOPE.
