ECHO is…
my “low-budget DIY feminist publishing and creation project” started in 2001. I make zines, comix, and pamphlets (and sometimes music, spoken word, and crafts too).
Apart from posting about my own zines, I use this blog to announce feminist zine-related news, especially from Belgium, write zine reviews and share articles about DIY feminist zine culture.
(ECHO is not a distro or publishing company!)

New: spell bags
I’m so excited to reveal my first spell bags or charm bags! They consist of herbs, beads, and sigils, put together in a cotton bag that I sewed myself. I tried to use as many organic ingredients as I could … Continue reading

Visiting the Industry Museum in Ghent

IZM2019 – folding, sewing, and tidying
I had a rather productive weekend zine-wise, even though I didn’t do any of the International Zine Month prompts. In between working on the zines Same Heartbeats #15 (almost finished) and Brussels Hellhole (together with Sister Ray Zines), I’m tidying … Continue reading
