They kept missing issues, which could have been NZ Post's fault, but I did get tired of ringing them. There have been some nice pics, though; an article on moss around May 2002 comes to mind. <BR/><BR/>Selvedge - I was lukewarm about that one. <BR/><BR/>La Moda Fashion - never seen it - will go looking, but in Nelson, it's a hit-or-miss. <BR/><BR/>Lynne, I do bookmark nice web sites from time to time, but I prefer the tactile pleasure of a real mag; such a Luddite. <BR/><BR/>Bonnie, The Journal for Weavers, Spinners and Dyers Online - never heard of the online version, just found the URL, seems <B><I>LOVELY</I></B>.... but I'll probably end up printing out the stuff I like.<BR/><BR/>WeaveZine - bookmarked the URL; probably not for me but will follow for a while. You never know what you can pick up. <BR/><BR/>Dianne, <I>exactly</I>. I started to feel a bit uneasy when, from memory, I started to see felting in Handwoven. Just about every magazine is turning into a lifestyle mag. <BR/><BR/>Taueret, I think you're right; like newspapers, all but the most general magazines may disappear. Which is not a bad thing for the trees, though not good for fossil fuel. And I can't carry my laptop to the couch, or bed, and I don't have the thrill of turning a page, or stretching the middle fold to declare "this is my magazine, and I'm going to read it." <BR/><BR/>I wonder if the solution here is for me to a) get the "real mag" fix from whatever is beautiful and appeals to me in the bookshop on the day, and b) to learn things more and more online. And if weaving books become downloadable files, I think I'll switch off and head for the mountains.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-85358411800727026182008-03-03T12:53:00.000+13:002008-03-03T12:53:00.000+13:00I am a new weaver so the mags are good for me, but...I am a new weaver so the mags are good for me, but knitters complain of the same thing- many of the knitting mags seems to assume that their readers are all graduating (just) from their first garter stitch scarf. Maybe the online e-zine is the answer, catering to both newbies and those looking for a complex challenge?Tauerethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411353775134604182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-39769123812761498272008-03-03T09:48:00.000+13:002008-03-03T09:48:00.000+13:00Where is the challenge in the mags?Its one thing t...Where is the challenge in the mags?<BR/>Its one thing to publish to encourage the new participant but those who have supported the mags over the years need inspiration and challenge.<BR/>Thank goodness for those who share on their blogs.<BR/>Have you noticed how mags like Fiberarts and Textile Fibre Forum have moved away from what I would call the "original" fibre arts and now we see lots of paper and basketry and other fringe things!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401039267862076516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-33568473918859844992008-03-03T08:39:00.000+13:002008-03-03T08:39:00.000+13:00I am partial to Ornament myself, but I haven't bee...I am partial to Ornament myself, but I haven't been getting any magazines lately. The Journal for Weavers, Spinners and Dyers published by the Online Weavers Guild is a lovely publication.Of course I am currently most partial to Syne Mitchell's new publication: WeaveZine, the first and only on-line weaving magazine. This magazine is geared for the newer weaver, but there is the opportunity to write for this publication. If you haven't seen it, do check it out.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875914944694059695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-90028187849360271492008-03-03T01:21:00.000+13:002008-03-03T01:21:00.000+13:00National Geographic, Selvedge, Nest (no longer in ...National Geographic, Selvedge, Nest (no longer in print), La Moda Fashion mags (best images of The Shows).<BR/><BR/>I have a very visual memory so I mainly look at images on the internet and keep my most favorite linked on my blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
