a fill-it-in-yourself zine about making things, containing things, and crates.

this zine is designed to be filled in as a tiny journal, or given as a gift to somebody - a partial love letter. it contains six tiny prompts for you to fill in and respond to.

it comes with an explainer card/slip to give the user a short and simple use guide, so if you are buying or giving this as a gift the recipient will know how it works.

i build & i hold is made in a limited quantity, and hand cut & folded here at home, at the zine factory. it is an eight page zine made from one a4 page and stapled down the spine. there will be colour differences, there will be odd edges: each zine is made here, by me, so they have the marks and very slight inconsistencies of being produced by hand: but the power of being made with a lot of love.
