About Me

Address info: when writing the number 7 in my address by hand, please add a horizontal line in the middle. Without the line sometimes the posties here can mistake it as a 1.

-SPOILER- I post pictures of recent swaps on Instagram. Usually shortly before or after I send it off. Flickr won't be updated. -SPOILER-

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. Things I've done: Pocket Letters, Zentangling...

Latest interests are handmade postcards (never getting old), decorated envelopes and InkBox cards (7,6 x 7,6 cm).

  • Working with paper (collages)
  • Watercolour (my latest craft)
  • Acrylic painting with youtube tutorials
  • Some sewing (mostly on paper these days)
  • Crocheting / Knitting (abandoned)

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, Wanda, Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Måneskin...

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!~

big postage stamps with heads (for creating postage people) - collage material - black & white pictures (collage material) - fabric - handmade things - "consumable" things for crafting e.g. paper, vintage 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

planner stickers - dogs - 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: Hey Monique, Thank you for a very nice postcard using the spirograph set on sandwich paper, what a great idea. I used to have a spirograph set too but I can’t find those little wheels anymore, messy me. Again thanks for the great swap. Enjoy summer!

Comment: Thank you, Monique. What fun! Love the crow's beaming stitchery gaze into the camera (or vice versa). And those postage stamp selvage frames are a great touch. I used to use them a lot, but have gotten out of the habit. Maybe your clever card will inspire me to start using them again.
Response: Yes, crows and cameras have their eyes everywhere! I had so much fun getting a bit artsy. Thank you!

Comment: Monique thanks so much for the unique and lovely PC. That was a great challenge you gave yourself for this collage. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with things I receive that I don’t love!! I remember Spirograph what a fun idea!!
Response: You're welcome, thank you! Sometimes limiting your materials can help to. If you have to much great things to choose from... so many decisions. :)

Comment: Gorgeous. (What a great idea Using up stickers, I might try it with tissue paper instead of teabags, we’ll see.) Love the fish.
Response: My pleasure, thank you! Surely napkins also would work instead of tea bag paper. Happy experimenting!
