Zine: SPACE OCTOPUS UKULELE A Step by Step Painting Guide

The prompt for my International Zine Month 2020: Zine A Day project for Day 19 was Joy. For me, that meant taking some time just for me and working on a project I have been wanting to do for a long time.

I painted my ukulele with a space octopus. I really enjoyed painting my ukulele. I do not have a musical bone in my body, and my ukulele was sitting collecting dust in the corner. It was getting no love. So, I dusted it off, and got to work! It was a challenge for me, as I have never painted something 3D like this before, and adjusting my painting methods to fit the odd shape of the ukulele was hard work!

Have you ever painted a ukulele? I would love to see how you painted yours, and if you haven't, I hope this little zine has inspired you! If you paint your ukuleles, connect with me on social media and show off what you have made!!!

I made this zine as a how to guide, as well as documenting my process for the future, in case I want to paint more ukuleles... maybe I will start a ukulele painting business in the future... and space octopuses will take over the world...

This mini-zine is printed in fantastic full colour on a 100gsm paperstock to form a mini 8-page folded booklet.
