About Me

I'm a lover, not a fighter. I'm crazy about all things artsy. I snowboard and I used to surf. I never skate anymore. I drink too much coffee, and love it. I'm a former smoker, tryin not to fall off the wagon again. I'm tring to make my way towards an associates of arts. I'd also love to move away, if anyone on here is curious about little details like that. I wander, I travel.

I adore zines!!! Also unique postcards, cookie recipes, hot chocolate (any chocolate really) and mix cd's! So if you feel the urge to tuck in a surprise all of those things are pretty easy to mail, and a surefire heart from me! I very much like the ocean, and trees, and tree houses. I'm enamored with colorful lil casitas. Other things I like for sure, shakespeare, monet, da vinci, black and white photography, mermaids and island music/culture. I dislike sticky things, lemonade that isn't fresh and country motifs. My favorite colors are crimson and dark chocolate brown.

As for things I craft and make and do, I am a knitter. I've mastered hats, and may move on to sweaters soon. A well fitting sock still eludes me. I also paint with watercolors and collage. I do multimedia folk art which uses every medium imaginable.

I'm a zinester- which merits it's own paragraph. I've been zinestering for over 5 years now, I've lost count, maybe like 7? A goal of mine I'm working toward is the 24 hour zine challenge. Also, I have a project I'm trying to get out into the world. It's my zine, Mamacita. "MAMACITA- Issue#1 'Giving Up The Post'. It received entirely positive reviews. Also, I've recently published Issue #2.

Wish List

  • all kinds of chai, tea, chocolate, or cookies - tiny tins of lip balm, or amazing lotions - stickers for my guitar case - guitar picks - yarn, scraps welcome - craft patterns you've used and liked - cool pieces or paper - fancy pens - any and all zines - homemade things in a variety of sorts - post cards that are pretty - mix cds of anything -

Comment: I never received this. I'm sorry it's been so long but I was offline for a while.
Response: It's been forever since this happened. I can't remember exactly what happened. I'm really wishing I could make it right though. Only time I never sent a swap.

Comment: Put a comment on your profile asking if you planned on sending the swap and you never responded and haven't logged onto Swap-Bot for a couple weeks now. If I receive the swap, I'll re-rate. Update on 11/10 - Received a zine. Thank you for following through on the swap. Learned some new things about bats.
Response: Hello! I've been running behind on everything. I've got your swap going out in the mail this week. I'm super sorry! I'll include an extra zine to make up for it. Peace, Fay

Comment: Never received anything for this swap, nor any communication.
Response: Hi there. I thought it was due in a couple days, ha. I'm wrong though. I was due before, and I'm sorry. Also, when I went to DO the swap this week, I discovered I had the wrong kind of card stock. So, I'll be sending the swap out this next week.

Comment: Awesome images thanks so much :)
Response: You must be a wonderful person, I'm sending out my images this week, but thanks for the 5! I'm also sorry for being so blasphemously late. I got the due date wrong, and I got the wrong cardstock. But they're coming soon.
