Part of this Zine fair, I discover Katie Green has a blog and have started following it. I really like her illustrations and ideas for Zine content.

'The Green Bean is really an extension of my blog, and each issue is packed with seasonal recipes, what-I-wore drawings, book reviews, maps, comics, collaborations with other illustrators, collections, obersvational drawings and lots more'

Available on etsy- http://www.etsy.com/shop/katiegreen?section_id=6252715

I like the browny paper and green ribbon package detail, inkeeping with the content of the zine!
