About Me

2/17/2011-I'm back after a swap vacation that lasted a couple years. Job & home changed twice during that period. I love ATC's but I'm going to take it slow for a while. Glad to be back. 12/15 I would like to make note of the fact when I sign up for a postcard swap, I make them. I don't buy them. I prefer getting handmade ones in return. Thank you.

Avid visual journalist. Paper enthusiast. Also enjoy beading and journal quilts. Lately I've been painting,collaging and journaling on canvas.

Born in San Francisco. Love anything to do with the City by the Bay.The skyline, movies filmed there, street maps, Ghiradelli chocolate, the Japanese Tea Gardens, Chinatown, Golden Gate Park, the row houses, Golden Gate Bridge,etc.

My favourite colour is orange. I like Asian art, paper and atc's. I like dragonflies and pears in my art. And have recently started collecting penguins. I love dark chocolate and prefer coffee to tea.

I buy a lot of art books that relate to ATC's, altered books, vintage art, altered imagery and collage.

Please do me a favour...do not tailor make your atc's to fit my profile. I want to see what you like to do. You're one of the reasons I love to swap. You're art inspires me, okay? Thanks.

Comment: The cards were fantastic! I love the clown/circus theme. They will be a great addition to my board! :) Thanks for participating in these swaps. It did take a while to receive them, hence the delay in rating. Thanks again for being a GREAT swap partner!

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful Owl ATC. All owl ATC's go into a special binder. I have collected owls for 35 years. I'm very fond of any form of an owl.

Comment: I was so excited when I saw your ATC. Was looking into trying to do this technique. I believe it is called Zentangle? Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you so much for all the lovely christmas card circles! We are having so much fun looking at all of them and playing with them! They must have taken you years to collect and cut! Thank you so much, and my kids say thank you too! -( ' * ')-

Hi! Thanks for sending such nice cards along with your swaps. When I saw your name in the Altered Text swap I thought you sounded familiar, and now I know why! I am still hoarding a card that you sent in a swap about 2 years ago! LOL! It had a painted ATCish card stuck on the front. I liked it so much I have it hanging in my craft area! So THANKS!

You are the first profile I've read that has actually said, "Don't tailor make your ATC according to my profile." I totally agree...I like what I like as anyone, but it's great to see other people's talents, thoughts, and idea's. I wouldn't be a swapper if I only wanted to see stuff I like...Thanks, for adding that in there....
