Although I consider myself a beginner, I thoroughly enjoy making ATCs. Several years ago a friend urged me to join her swap, and I've been addicted ever since!! I make primarily collages, although I hope to try other media soon.

It is so wonderful to connect with gifted artists from all over the world. I've been inspired by their beautiful art and learned new techniques from them. These new artist friends have been so gracious in their support and willingness to share.

I live in upstate New York in Kodakland.

Most every kind of music except rap and twangy country

I love reading but it takes me forever to finish a book as I'm just too tired by the time I go to bed. Historical novels, mysteries, non-fiction, fantasy (I was a Tolkien fan WAY back in the early 60s!)

ATCs, skinnies, APCs, collage, needle felting, beading, basket making

History channel (particularly programs about ancient world cultures such as Egypt, Greece, Inca and Maya, indigenous peoples, Native American), travel shows, etc
