About Me

I teach Latin and ancient Greek at a small college. In my leisure time I enjoy kayaking, reading novels, taking pictures, and sending mail-art.

I'm especially interested in:

  • 19th century British literature

  • art history, art museums, and art postcards

  • photography

  • Shakespeare

  • vintage illustrations of fairies

  • wildflowers

  • birds

  • architecture

  • poetry

  • children's literature

  • the sky

  • word art of various sorts (centos, found poems, creative anagrams, etc.)

  • asemic and abstract art

There's something I enjoy about every color.

I hesitate to list any particular dislikes, but here's one: I'd prefer not to receive any images related to hunting, fishing, or eating meat.

Favorite Movies

The Man Who Came to Dinner, Evil Under the Sun, The Women (1939 version), House of Flying Daggers, I Heart Huckabees, Ushpizin, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Stranger than Fiction, About a Boy, Being Julia, They Came Back (Les Revenants), Meek's Cutoff.

Favorite Books

For pleasure reading, I usually stick to novels. My favorite authors include Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, E.M. Forster, Angela Carter, Charlotte Brontë, Jane Austen, and Henry James.

Favorite Crafts

Photography, embroidery, basic book-binding, writing and translating (I think they count as crafts), and making mosaics, collages, and abstract designs out of paper scraps.

About Swapping

This probably goes without saying, but please let me know if you haven't received something from me when you should have--I haven't dropped the ball so far, and I'd like a chance to re-send if something got lost in the mail. And I promise to rate my partners in a timely way, too.

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful rose PC, the note and the quote. They certainly brought a smile to my weary face today! How lucky you are to witness these beauties twice a year! Thanks, too, for participating in the swap!

Comment: I love the idea to use cards for the journaling - I would have never thought of that, but it is a good way to use up a lot of the extra cards I have stashed away. Your hand writing is exquisite! I enjoyed each of your entries. I am glad to know that someone else out there requires tailoring on their pants - but you have a whole inch on me! (Which I say as I wear my jeans rolled up in cuffs... lol)

Comment: You are so very sweet! I love both of the postcards, you did a wonderful job. I would love to learn how to do my own postcards. Any hints? Bonnie
Response: Thanks, Bonnie! I use winkflash.com to have my photos printed as postcards--it's super easy (and addictive). To tinker with my photos digitally (as I did for the bird postcard), I use Photoshop Elements. Have fun, and happy swapping!

Comment: THANK YOU so much! Your generous package came right on time--at the end of a particularly trying week. I quickly read everything, but will spend time savoring it later when all is quiet. I love the postcards (your photos, right?), the quotes, the STAMPS (awesome! Wm Johnson is one of my fav artists). Thank you, thank you, thank you! Many, many hearts!

Comment: Thanks for the fabulous card. What a lovely photograph. Your teaching responsibilities sound very interesting - but I don't envy you all your preps! Good luck!

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard and all the details about what you teach. How exciting to teach "ancient" languages and work with students to translate the Book of Ruth! Kudos on still standing with an overload. Are you compensated for teaching the extra course? If so, I hope you do something wild and fun with the $$$!

Comment: Hello Rebecca, It is wonderful to meet up with you again, some 5 years later. Thank you for the pleasant note you sent along with your quote from A.A. Milne. Yes, when I see a balloon I am always cheered up. So, I will put this postcard somewhere special so when I need a little cheer I can look at it. Thanks for a great quote and postcard that work so well together. Barb sleepingrover2010

Comment: Thanks for the TWO beautiful flower postcards. My husband grows sunflowers in our garden but the blooms have finished now. Next year I will have to remember to photograph them. Thanks for organising the swap also.

Comment: Beautiful flower and quote, thank you! Thanks also for the extra PC. You take great photos and I would like to learn more about photography, as I love to garden. Where do you get your PCs printed; I love the finish!?
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the photos & quotation! I upload my photos & have them printed as postcards at winkflash.com. The matte finish came out very nicely I think....

I'm not sure if I said thank you for the Christmas postcard you sent...so MAHALO!!! I have been a space cadet this season. :p Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a great New Year! :)
FiWebster on Nov 18, 2010:

Nice greens on the pixilated green pc you sent! Thanks--I'm getting myself organized about having a folder of mail awaiting replies from me, and your pc is going in the folder. =grin=

It was the second clue that tipped me off. And then the other two sounded more familiar. I am jealous of you secret garden, most of our flowers are gone.

Hi Becca,

How are you?! It's been awhile... :) I was wondering if you wanted to finally do a photo swap. I am in a digital darkroom class and am doing lots of printing so I can easily print a photo for you! :) How fun!!! I have a flickr account if you want to choose a photo or I can surprise you! www.flickr.com/photos/kaikamahine12. Aloha, Dana

ohpossum on May 22, 2010:

Got my remaining postcards on Friday and I've been so crazy busy, I meant to let you know, but...

You were right on about selecting postcards I would like. The lighting and focus on these b&w photographs are beautiful and the bug is just amazing. You are very talented. Thanks so much for sharing! Many hearts.
