About Me

-SPOILER- I post pictures of recent swaps on Instagram. Usually shortly before or after I send it off. Flickr will be updated from time to time. -SPOILER-

My name is Monique and I'm from Germany.

I've always liked to receive letters. And I also like the idea of random act of kindness. Swap-bot seems to be the connection of both things. :) These days I enjoy creating mail art like postcards.

Favorite Crafts

I try to do a lot of things. After a while I always have to try something new. Latest interests are handmade postcards, Pocket Letters and Zentangling.

  • Crocheting
  • Knitting
  • Working with paper
  • A little bit of poor drawing
  • Some sewing

Favorite Music

Alternative, Indie, Garage, a bit Folk, 50s Rock'n'Roll/Rockabilly...

To name a few (often changing): Temples, Kasabian, Katzenjammer, Florence + the Machine, Hot Boogie Chillun, Public Service Broadcasting...

And I would be glad if you could recommend me something.

Favorite Television

I'm not a movie fan, instead I love TV Series even more!

Pushing Daisies, Sherlock, White Collar, Grimm, Rizzoli & Isles, Death in Paradise, Father Brown, Doctor Who, Burn Notice, Chuck, Warehouse 13, Perception, Agatha Raisin...

Lately I'm starting in classic series: The Avengers (Peel & Steed!), The Persuaders!...

Some ideas for sending: ~I don't collect anything but I like surprises!~ fabric - buttons - patterns for small crochet/knitting projects - handmade things - "consumable" things for crafting e.g. paper, washi, ephemera... everything that I could use for creating mail art (as I don't have enough space for dust traps :)) (or just ask)

I don't like

jewellery - dogs - decorative cosmetics - Disney - Emojis - something with vanilla or sweet fragrance - Manga - off-season Christmas (I'm starting slowly to care about one month before, at the earliest) also not overly excited about Halloween

Tea

Teas I love: green (plain or + herbs...) - white - herbal - with lemon and ginger - fresh tastes in general ... (no matter if it comes in bags or if it's loose- as long as it's sealed)

I'd like to try again: Four O'clock - Green tea with rose

Teas I don't like: all fruity or sweet teas (apple, hibiscus, rose hip, berries...) - vanilla - black tea - cinnamon - instand tea - honey - something with vanilla or sweet fragrance

Comment: Thanks for your clever card, Monique., though I doubt of Bessie Smith was ever so limber! Postage stamp people are such fun! love your image transfer background; something I'd like to become more adept at, but like you I tend to fall back on cutting & pasting.
Response: Oh it's always a matter of camera angle! Maybe I should set up a image transfer swap so that I'm forced to do it again. :) Thank you!

Comment: Thank you for this cool altered postcard. I really like how you cut the stamp to show the arm of them and the lively phrase to go with it all too. Your hand carved stamp is really cute too! 💜 la
Response: You're welcome, thank you. Sometimes it feels like digging for gold when you're looking for matching stamp + pictures. :)

Comment: I love the postcard and love the magazine challenge you gave yourself! Thank you for sending such a wonderful piece of art!!
Response: My pleasure, thank you! Sometimes it's very inspiring to work with limited materials. At least for me a bigger choice isn't very helpful. All the possibilities! :)

Hi! Your Cover My Envelope is on its way finally. Hope you like it, tried to make it special with all the things you like. I don't know if it will be delayed due to the virus but you will have it. The envelope, not the virus!

Thank you for the beautiful RAK handmade postcard! It's nice to take a break from our usual pursuits and focus on something else for a kick of inspiration...that's probably what I should do.
