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!...

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: What a beautiful tag shaped postcard. The cyano technique is stunning! I really like it a lot. Nice finishing touch with the snoopy postage stamps... Thank you!
Response: You're welcome, thank you! I'm so happy that the experiment worked! Tag shaped cards seems to ship as well as normal postcards. It was hard not to cover too much of the blue print. :)

Comment: I really love your postcard! But, sorry to say, I needed to go see it on your Flickr photostream because some of the dress was missing and I wanted to see it as you intended. It's a lovely composition. I rarely get a damaged postcard, but it does happen, so that's why I'm super glad you posted a photo. I wish everyone posted a photo of their swap art every time, and I'm always a little surprised that Swap-bot doesn't have a gallery for us to post in.
Response: Thank you! Sorry that it didn't arrived in one piece. Postal machines getting hungrier it seems. Thanks for letting me know, I will think of using sealant again.

Comment: Vielen lieben Dank für Deine tolle Postkarte. Die gefällt mir sehr gut. Und mir ging es mit der Post in die USA im Februar genau wie Dir- fast alles verschollen. Seltsam. Was da wohl los ist? Danke für den Swap und bis zum nächsten Mal liebe Grüße.
Response: Oh, vielen Dank zurück! Mal wieder eine sorgenfreie Bewertung, das ist wie Balsam. :)

Comment: Wow! I love what you made - very surrealistic (I'm glad you didn't outline it). I like the person being separated like that :)
Response: My pleasure, thank you! That was fast. I haven't tried the outlining thing yet, but I will. Have fun working on your landscape.
