Greetings and happy swapping!

Please note - I am in Canada, but I'm currently having a very difficult time sending mail internationally with the USA postal service intercepting my mail, with numerous envelopes of mine being returned by "not conforming to US post standards" including envelopes I've sent directly from my canadian post office (and internationally - not only mail to US address') where I'm told by the postie that I don't need a declaration. I'm very confused about it and so is my local postie. I do wish my International mail would not go through the USA right now.

My name is Helene and I am nemophilist living on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

I am keen to swap handmade postcards, artist trading cards, artist trading coins, 3x3s, inchies, twinchies, flipbooks, folders, pockets and other themed paper crafts and collages."

I love rich, opulent colours and metallics. I use a lot of gelli printing in crafts and I love making layered mixed media projects of all kinds, but particularly if there is an added theme or creative challenge.

SOME IMAGES/THEMES I ENJOY:

ANYTHING HANDMADE BY YOU

• skulls, bones, and anatomy

• flora and fauna - leaves, trees, forest creatures

• suns, moon, stars

• bats, birds, butterflies, bugs, insects, and arachnids of all kinds, but especially the beetle and spider species

• vintage, victorian, and gothic themes and images

• mythical creatures, fairies, gnomes, magical beings......

• elements and elemental correspondences

• travel/exploration

• First Nation's and Inuit art and themes (Coast Salish art below)

• themes from the ocean, the sky, and space

HALLOWE'EN everything all the time

Please don't send me:

*religious quotes or images.....

• foam shapes or kid crafts

• colouring pages

• city postcards

• kawaii stickers

• cartoon characters, princess, Disney

• Please don't send your current ephemera like yesterday's bus ticket, receipts, labels etc.

I would very much prefer to receive a partially destroyed or water damaged package than an envelope completely covered in packing tape. I can reuse the paper easier without the tape too. Thank you!

I am an ally of the environment, equality, and anyone who identifies as one from the LGBTQ2+ community. I am VERY passionate about the right to women's reproductive health and the right to reproductive choice, and I am an ally of all First Nation communities whose land I am grateful to live, work, play, and craft on.
