paper, paper, paper!

I love reclaimed and recycled materials.

I really appreciate handcrafted cards.

If it's old, I'll probably love it.

I make a lot of envelopes from found images and papers.

I really like old medical and/or anatomy sketches and illustrations.

I like bird images - but not in cages.
I like bird cage images - if they are empty.

People often find me intense. I'm definitely a glass half empty person... but how can we laugh about it and fill it up?!

My preferred colors are dark blues, purples, browns and greens. Lighter colors in natural hues.

I like ferns and vintage botanical sketches/drawings.

I'm late coming to the craft table.

I love bees and other interesting insects.

I really like typography and cool fonts.

I love trees and images of trees. (especially once they've lost their leaves!)

I have a crazy attachment to the number 8!

I LOVE Saxton Freymann's stuff.

I loved mail even before I started carrying the mail for the USPS. (I have a small walking route in a small, rural town, which I love.)

I love dogs - I have 3! - and I love goats - but, I don't have any.

I share my home with my husband who puts out a monthly newspaper in our small, rural Oregon town.

I love being in the forest (temperate rainforest, preferably).

I really like Steampunk.

I have a garden and enjoy it very much. I like some crafty garden stuff, but not all the pop stuff I see everywhere.

I love dark, strong, black coffee. (Organic, Fair trade of course, never flavored)

I love Halloween, but I don't really like to dress up.

I love ginger candy.

I don't wear cosmetics or nail polish.

I have just begun playing with metals.

I love the sound of the banjo, and I hope to learn to play the one I have here taking up space!

I care deeply about economic justice and want to see it develop here and around the world.

I reuse whenever I can. I do not see the value in consuming or consumerism as a lifestyle. I believe there is great value in living within ones means. I value relationships and seeing how all the events/exchanges in our lives can be used to know and understand each other more deeply.

Oh yeah, and I like beer. Good, dark beer.
