Matchbox Zine

Last week I finished a challenge for The Australian Book Arts Journal. It was a zine ( mini magazine type book) to fit into a large matchbox. Mine came with the letter L to be included... so the matchbox became luggage, with a little concertina zine depicting 3 cars tripping around Europe- my dreaming again!! The L also referred to letters and letterboxes, lifts ( as in a lift in a car) and landscape.
