Favorite Crafts

Hi. Since discovering Swap-bot I have enjoyed sharing swaps with others internationally and also fellow Australians and Kiwi's. I'm interested in anything 'Arty' and creative, particularly ATC's and Mail-art in the form of envelopes or Postcards. I live in a suburb of Perth in Western Australia and love it ! I've travelled to other parts of Australia, NZ, Europe, UK, USA (NY )Canada & Asia. My favourite part of West Aust is the North West and Central Australia The colours there of the blue sky and red earth I find very inspiring.

Likes and dislikes:

I love colour and like to receive swaps that have been hand made. Everyone has some talent so I'd like to see what you can do .... painting, drawing (I can't), collage, computer...Please "some" effort - abit more than cut out magazine picture stuck on card. I'm an animal lover,cats dogs and fascinated by monkeys (?) Pleases do not send me anything resembling porn. Anything else OK .........extra ATC, decorated envelope, It's nice to receive the surprise extras but I don't expect too much ( I'm aware of postal costs, especially with International mail ). I love getting something in the mail box so I look forward to receiving my swaps and look for effort in the swap. I like to receive work that reflects the personality of the creator. I send and and rate promptly and always contact my partners when I have sent their swap. Please let me know if you don't receive from me in a reasonable time. *I have had swaps go astray * or if you have a problem doing your swap for me by the send by date. I see that alot of members put in their requests - What I'd like most of all if anyone has any to spare is ........time ! (Not enough hrs in my day or days in my week) and a fairy godmother to come and do all the things I don't get done so I can spend more time on 'arty, creative things'......... No ? I didn't think I'd get too many offers on these.

Comment: What fabulous cards! And both so different, too. You have given me some new ideas about card making, for sure. I am such a novice in comparison! How did you do the green background on the one with the tag? It's very effective. Thankyou so much for them, the other papers and for going to the trouble of sorting out my address. Much appreciated. I certainly would've hated to miss out on your cards!
Response: Thank you for the rating, glad you like them. The background you refer to ? Uhm .... get a sponge or brush dab it onto the stamp pad and lightly sponge over the card

Comment: Beautiful ATCs. I like the fact that they are 3D and your own work. Very impressive. I didn't know a wattle was a tree. Shame it causes respiratory problems. Thank you for educating me. Hugs, Susie.
Response: They are very beautiful when in flower Thanks for the rate
