I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION. BECAUSE I RUN ONLINE STORES THE BRIEF TIME I GET ONLINE HAS TO BE DEVOTED TO MY WORK.

PLEASE DON'T RATE ME IF YOU HAVEN'T BE ABLE TO GET A REPLY FROM YOU MESSAGES, I AM AWARE THAT SOME OF MY PARTNERS HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEIR SWAP, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THEY WERE SENT, BUT I WILL RESENT THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T ARRIVED YET.

PLEASE HAVE PATIENCE WITH MY MESSAGING AND RATING I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN AT THE MOMENT.

THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Summer time, The Beach, Creating, Shops filled wall to wall with vintage junk, Vintage brass stampings, Horses, Horse Riding, Horse Racing, The Melbourne Cup Carnival, My Ipod (i must have music when i'm traveling), Trash and Treasures type markets, My family, Veggie gardens, TV shows on DVD (i watch over and over again), Walking, Swimming, Climbing trees, Chocolate, My grandma's old house which is now my home and studio, My job, Thunderstorm, Traveling, Airports (yeh really they are great places), Twilight (ok i admit it), Steampunk, Day of the Dead, Garage sales, Being an Aussie and living in Australia, chic clean styles (for home), earth tones, Stipple art (i wish i had more time for it), Upcycling tacky old junk and making it new and lovable again, the colour black, mushrooms, rubber stamps, indie style art and design, Supernatural (the only show i stop creating for an hour to watch), trade fairs, online shopping, blogging, happy people

New things i've just fallen in love with.... atc's, vintage anatomical imagery, making usually stationery for vintage stuff, story writing, zines (i'm about to start working on my first edition with my little sister), chalkboard paint, writing lists....oh and not forgetting Swapping which i've only been doing for a couple of months

ok and now i few things i don't like... Shabby chic, kawaii in general (anything cute and childish) characters stuff like Disney etc. Shell Jewellery, beach or ocean themed stuff. Pony beads, floral patterns, teddy bears, stickers, cigarette smoke, people who don't take pride in their work, rushed or poorly made swaps, the word "envie" and for some reason i hate the colour yellow

My favorite crafts are anything i can use in my jewellery, interesting found objects, vintage odds and ends, celluloid cabs, cameos, brass stampings, vintage glass beads, coloured pearls, resin, vintage plastic (Lucite) , vintage paper scraps, watch parts are gears for steampunk, vintage gumball charms, japanese fabric, anything Alice in Wonderland, polymer clay, vintage storybooks, metal paint, the agents i use to antique and colour brass.....and i've just discovered my pencils again (i've haven't done much illustration in the last 10 years)

If your not sure what to send, check out my online stores or blog and you can see what i make and create with...or message me

don't stress swaps are supposed to be fun, i'm not the type of person to get upset if i receives something i don't like or it not on my list, i'm just grateful for anything anyone sends me and will thoroughly enjoy whatever that may be.

I have no allergies

POSTCARDS SWAPS- there is a big difference in the price Australia Post charges for international cards to letters - for that reason i always send postcards naked. I also prefer to receive them this way too.

PHOTOGRAPHY SWAPS - i prefer actual photo's, home print is fine just no digital files

ATC's & OTHER ART WORK SWAPS- please take pride in your work, your work is an extension of yourself. I've had a few piece arrive with bits falling off

I'm working on a collection of ethnic theme jewellery at present based on folklore and belief systems from different countries all over the globe, i'm looking for anything tokens, charms, amulets, pray beads, cards, trinkets, game pieces, basically any interesting object with a story, to which i can incorporate into a jewellery design
