A coloured chair, a white lamp and the boxes of the Grrrl Zine Library.

I had the joy to visit Southend-On-Sea for #LeToMaGic issue 8 last weekend. Roots Hall is a wonderful stadium - and thanks for the nice welcome in the lovely curated Grrrl Zine Library at The Old Waterworks nearby.

Thanks for covering #LeToMaGiC in this blog about fanzines and Subbuteo, @fanzinefc.bsky.social!

The mentioned mural showing Nell McCafferty.

The Derry City subbuteo figure in front of the famous Free Derry mural.

The Derry City subbuteo figure in the stadium during the match.

The famous round corner of the away section in the stadium.

I’ve been to Derry for #LeToMaGiC issue eight, too. I admired the murals, my favourite being the one for Nell McCafferty, was happy to receive a bottle cap from a brewing cooperative called Lacada in Portrush and enjoyed the hospitality at @derrycityfc.net.

Shelves inside the Marsh‘s Library.

The Shamrock Rovers subbuteo figure in front of a pub.

The Shamrock Rovers main stand and the tea and burger hut in front of it.

I visited Dublin for #LeToMaGiC issue eight, but it seems like the famous #ForgottenZineArchive is no longer operating. Though the @marshslibrary.bsky.social has an even longer history. Footballwise it was a pleasure to watch the @shamrockrovers.ie women to win at home.

The diy sticker from issue 7 with the slogan ‚Iuventa‘s Friend‘.

I just received the first picture of a diy sticker from #LeToMaGiC issue 7. I‘m pretty much looking forward to your versions of this hand drawn sticker!

LeToMaGiC issue 7 on the Housemartins‘ ‚London 0 Hull 4‘ cd box set.

Okay, this #LeToMaGiC issue‘s cover art was inspired by a cd box set by the wonderful #Housemartins, because Hull is covered in the #zine.

The seventh issue of LeToMaGiC with all six photos and the one stickers that are glued in this issue.

Handcut & handsewn - the seventh issue of my mini art #zine #LeToMaGiC is available now!

This issue covers Great Yarmouth, Hull, Klaipėda, Kraków & Zürich.

Do you know which record inspired the cover artwork of this issue?

#DIYZines

All the handcut pages, stickers and photos and some tools on a tray.

The ‚handcut‘ bit for #LeToMaGiC issue 7 is finally done - now the ‚handcolour‘ and ‚handsew‘ bits are next.

The Cabaret Voltaire on the first floor of an building in the old town.

I’ve been to Zürich for #LeToMaGiC issue seven, too.
The brilliant K-Set #ZineLibrary exists more than twenty years now - and the Grasshoppers Club Zürich even longer. I also visited the Cabaret Voltaire, of course.

The Subbuteo figure in the famous old town.

The Subbureo figure during the match.

The excellent zine collection is located in a public library.

There‘s a Wisła beer with a bottle cap inspired by their crest. #SubbuteoArt

And I’ve been to Kraków for #LeToMaGiC issue seven this year.
As Garbarnia Kraków left the league last minute and the Kabel Kraków cup match was relocated to a pitch outside town, I visited Wisła in an European cup match. But I enjoyed exploring the Polish #ZineLibrary even more: www.zinelibrary.pl

Old stairs and wonderful colours of metallic, stones, concrete and plants.

The Subbuteo figure in that first picture - close up.

Stand and floodlights after the match.

I’ve been to Lithuania for #LeToMaGiC issue seven. These picturesque floodlights are located in Klaipeda and the home team was Neptunas. The Lithuanian #ZineLibrary is an online archive only: jauka.knf.vu.lt/collection

LeToMaGiC issue six in front of the Pixi exhibition.

The center of the exhibition is a Pixi pool where you can read Pixis and add your favourite issue to the exhibition.

The #LeToMaGiC #zine is inspired by Pixi books. That’s why the wonderful ‚70 years of #Pixi‘ exhibition at the Altonaer Museum was a must. Thanks to @chrizmagic.bsky.social for pointing me out to this!

Norwich Zine Library.

Oldest stand in England.

I’ve been to Norfolk for #LeToMaGiC issue seven, too. The #ZineLibrary is located in the Millenium Library in Norwich. The wonderful stand sits just a couple of meters from the beach in Great Yarmouth and there are nice small breweries in both towns (as well as in between).

Hull Zine Library.

I visited Hull for #LeToMaGiC issue seven and spent some marvellous time at the Hull #ZineLibrary, North Ferriby FC and in a few great pubs as well as the #Atom brewery taproom.
