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!...

Random Likes

Aurora borealis - mail art - radio plays - polka dots - flowers - birds - Azulejos - beech woods - DIY-kits - useful stuff - maritim - logic puzzles - kraft paper - plants - botanical - lavender - take a walk - lighthouses - blueberries - magpies - crafting kits - reading - sea - dark chocolate - natural things - organic/natural bath articles (creme, shampoo, soap...) - vintage - vintage cars - old movies - and over all: TEA

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: Thank you, this is such a great postcard! I really enjoy both the colour palette and the slightly dadaist subject, and your skill for composition is so good, I feel lucky to have recieved it.
Response: You're welcome, thank you! It was fun to see how the pieces started to match. All pieces are leftover bits from other cards.

Tausend Dank fuer die wunderschoene kreative Postkarte, die ich von Dir zum OMAE January RAK Attack erhalten habe. Ich habe mich sehr gefreut!

Hi RockyBeach. I got your Handmade Postcard Tag postcard RockyBeach. I like it very much. I love the challenge you made for yourself--make a collage using one magazine. I like your sense of space and layout. I'm honoured that you shared your talent with me.

stephiedee on Jan 2, 2020:

Thank you for the wonderful handmade postcard RAK. I had a mostly sunny and warm Christmas in Hawaii - my first holiday away from home, but I can't complain. I'm excited to get back to making things!
Heynowokay on Nov 25, 2019:

I love the queen cat PC you sent for the OMAE Nkv RAK Attack. Thank you so much! :)
HippieChick on Nov 16, 2019:

Thank you or the awesome rainy day mail art for the OMAE: MMH Arty envelope! I love the rainy day theme!

Singske on Oct 30, 2019:

Glad it arrived in perfect shape!⭐️
kiddomerriweather on Oct 23, 2019:

@Singske made me a really awesome tear book (she sewed hers on the machine--I don't have that skill). That's where I got the idea. ;)
bigmamabird on Oct 15, 2019:

Thank you for the beautiful OMAE handmade PC! Love the color scheme and subject...the bat stamp is so cool! I haven't taken many crafty workshops but I think better to try them once than not at all... Happy Autumn!
stephiedee on Oct 11, 2019:

Happy day! You're the winner of October's RAK Attack! Please return to the forum and let everyone know where they can mail your prizes.

Thank you so much for the adorable flamingo post card!! The pink & blue & black background is perfect for this magnificent pink bird! It’s going up on the wall above my craft desk so I can see it every time I sit and craft! Huge hugs to you, Monique! 💜
