About Me

-SPOILER- I've started to post some pictures of recent swaps on Flickr. Usually shortly before or after I send it off. -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...

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

Colours: purple, turquoise, teal, dark blue, blue, red

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: I love the mail art you used. What I loved more was how you sealed the art. I would love to see the collage version if you have any link to it. Thank you for this swap.
Response: Oh, you're welcome, thank you! :) I was glad that the clear tape didn't ruin the mail art. Better be save than sorry. I've just added the collaged version of the circles to my instagram @from_rocky_beach. It was fun seeing them again after all that time. :)

Comment: Hallo Monique, danke für deinen tollen Umschlag! Du hast eine schöne Kombination daraus gemacht! Die Extras sind auch sehr nett! Ein Travel Notebook machen wäre schön! Wie steht es mit deinem Projekt? Schönen Sommer!
Response: Danke zurück! Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt. Bei dem Projekt bin ich noch immer in der Sammelphase. Immerhin habe ich die Briefumschläge dafür schon fertig. Nicht gerade die Hauptaufgabe, aber man muss ja irgendwo anfangen. :)

Comment: Your winged otter & the story about the BBC radio play were delightfully entertaining. If I could be any animal I would choose to be an otter because they are so playful and seem to have such joie de vivre. Thank you, Monique. Love the card.
Response: My pleasure, thank you! So I picked right the perfect animal for you! :)

Thank you for the beautiful handmade PC you sent to me for the OMAE June RAK Attack. I love the hot air balloon theme you chose. I love the sewn details. You did an amazing job!

Hello Monique, you can’t spam my mailbox enough... 😂 It is always nice to receive a pc (OMAE handmade pc tag) from you and this one looks great again! I love the use of the green pastels, yup my favorite colour. Have some fun watching those youtube tutorials, they always bring some new ideas. ♥️
Singske on May 18, 2019:

Thank you so much for the OMAE RAK Attack! Ilove the vintage feel of your pc. It was also nice reading about the workshop. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for the cool postcard for the AMA:Intl Mystery Supply Swap. I like the color experiment and using the feathers as wings was brilliant.

Happy Birthday!

Hahaha, some very special rituals, involving at least the purchase of many stamps, would need to be created with much thoughtful contemplation, in order to appease the postal deities! Sealing them with blood on sacrificial envelopes or something..?
