About Swapping

I enjoy all unique experiences in life which includes swapping and meeting new people. I enjoy all aspects of art and don't want anyone to feel what the send is not good enough. I want a piece of the artist/sender, a glimpse into who they are by what they chose for me. I would love for the swapper to choose something that reflects who they are in addition to what I might like. I am very flexible and truly enjoy and am open to other's ideas.

It might be helpful to know that I do wirework, beading, vintage jewelry re-work, collage, paper crafts, knitting, crochet, spinning, and felting, so almost anything is useful to me. I love receiving "found" and unusual items that I can use in my work.

Lately I have been working on beading and wirework that use all manner of embellishments including found objects, ribbon, beads, buttons, charms, stones, "junque" of all kinds.

I love people and am always interested in who you are, what you love, what makes you happy.

I promise to fulfill all of my swaps, and if for some reason you do not receive from me PLEASE email me and I will take care of it.
