Im a twenty three year old lady from England, who currently doesn't work, which usually is a bad thing however. Im waiting to find that right job for me. Ive got interests in trying to find the one small shop of my dreams (I'll never be working in horrible resteraunts again). Im an huge fan of Role playing games, infact during the summer and the warmer months spend a great deal of my time Larping or making props for larp (Live action Role play). Though that calms down for a couple of months over christmas.
Yes. I do play an awful lot of world of warcraft, Ive been a player for many years now and I have to say I met my Mr. through a mixture of that game and larping. When making things I tend to favor story telling, so most of my mail art objects tend to be deco's or traveling books or zines. Rather than ATCs and such. I collect those things a bit more also. They are very fun to make. Recently Ive become interested in herb lore and various things associated with that, for example brewing up your own insence and making small charms for people with the propertys from dried flowers.
I collect Role playing ephemera, which is literally anything at all Dungeons and Dragons, but other things other settings, other fantasy worlds. That sort of thing really appeals to me, a writer and an artist at heart. Some of the games I play are Dungeons and Dragons, In Nomine, Exalted etc. I could be listing for along time as I pretty much play any.
Being a fan of world of warcraft I also have started collecting bits and pieces I can find to do with the game, even if some of them are hand made.
Speaking on things I also tend to collect old Magic the gathering cards, old trading cards etc. and either add them to one of my folders if the pictures are good or recycle them into ATC's or art objects.
I am often running out of herbs and dried flowers to make my charms with as I have to travel quite a bit away from my home town to restock up. its out of season now for most of the flowers I like and I haven't the heart to wrestle a few more stalks from my lavender bush, its looking a little hurt. Incense resins are also something I cannot get here where I live. This town isn't a good one, thats for sure. (ive never been able to find more Sweet Amber resin, hum).
I love pagan themed items, tarot, runes, goddess, totem creatures. Ive been acquiring quite a collection. I love the symbol of a hare dancing, running and being a hare, they are fantastic creatures.
Im use alot of candles, theres something about them, so candle holders and sticks are lovely.
Sequins and beads are never amiss. As I have a few boxes of them, being the hoarder I am for that sort of small and shiny thing. I really do believe I was a magpie once. I especially like unique looking beads. glass and wood, even horn (once a lady sent me some buffalo horn beads, I darent use them!).
Part of me like the quite cute Sanrio critters, Especially cats (I even own a small Choco cat teddy). I do adore some of the little figures they produce and the stickers. Very pretty and always cheering people up when I use them on their letters. Amigurumi critters are really quite something. I cannot crochet for the life of me. But they are very sweet.
Having moved into a new house with my Mr. I'm hunting out new posters and images for my walls. The house is massive compared to my old two roomed flat, so I haven't enough to cover. I particularly am fond of images of forests, faeries, dragons, fantasy maps (I collect these). Id love a hang in there kitty poster (you know the one with the sad kitten on a washing line or something similar)
A colour that I like best would be green, deep earth colours, the kind you find while walking through woodlands.
Mushrooms. I'm not sure why. But I am drawn to the shape of them. Like they were made for small people to sit on.
I suddenly seem to have a craving to trade whimsy jars with people (these are little jars full of treasure, check them out on google images, I was really surprised by them).
I hate to mention things disliked. I certainly wouldn't call them hates. But I don't like shoddy made craft objects. take care in the things you make, they are an extension of you. Regardless of that, I do my very best with everything I make, I expect others to do the same, its just good manners. Now that is my biggest pet peeve. receiving items that have been hashed together. I'm not a collector of ATCs. I wouldn't want to waste anyones time with taking them on, as they do have a habit of disappearing into the house.
Tacky cute stuff. gets to me some days. Im quite partial to cute looking Feline, Fae and Dragons but there is a line, the sort of cute that often finds its way into online clip art gallery's is my line, its just a little irritating and I don't have any place in my house for it. I guess I go by the rule. really don't take the monkeys when your trading, if its not something you would want yourself, or don't deem good enough to keep yourself, then clearly its not something that should be passed on to someone else. Bad manners I guess should also be written here, some times things are late, but I always keep my word on my trades or I wouldn't sign up to join in. Things can be delayed, but please be patient.
I have just reaquinted my love for ATC's in that I have borrowed a folder to store ATC's I have been posted in the past and collect them all together safely.
They look lovelly. So Ive started making some again to trade with people.
totters away to go and make stuff
