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!...

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 for the fun collage postcard. We were taught the William Tell story in school, so I understand the image. I love the eyes and the grin. :)
Response: My pleasure, thank you! Now I think I should also have added an arrow to complete the card. But I guess it's good like it is. :)

Comment: Hello fellow stargazer! Thank you for the abstract red card! Very cool. I love the tissue? background texture & that it seems you used something recycled! ❤️
Response: My pleasure, thank you! :) Yes, you're right, it's a tissue wrapping paper which comes with some new clothes. It's great to mute colours. A bright red background would be to much...

Your wonderful postcard for the OMAE rak attack (August) arrived today! I love the colors and the old German book page clouds! I don't even miss the glitter... not everything needs glitter, wink wink! Hope the budgies have settled in together... My German grandmother and her sister always had budgies..!
Artstamper on Aug 12, 2019:

Thanks so much for the beautiful PC you sent me for the RAK attack July! Flowers of any kind make me happy. All my best, Joan

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. ♥️
