I have a BA in Fine Art. I've been making collage projects, mainly ATCs and decos for about 8 years and just love trading mail art. I belong to several Yahoo groups for trading, but am looking to branch out and do more. I'd much rather make art than watch TV at night. :)

Mostly I do collage project, but I also own a bead business and used to do a ton of beading. It's nice to get away from beads for a while and that's where the mail art comes in. I use all sorts of mediums but am definitely a paper junkie and love applying all types of techniques to it.

paper (every kind imaginable)

paint (acrylic and watercolor)

collage images (although I tend to avoid pictures of "dead people" aka vintage photography)

rubber stamps

ribbons and fibers

rhinestones

brads and eyelets

velumn and transparencies

charms and beads

I have a wonderful husband named Allen who also is my best critic. He loves seeing the new creations I come up with while he plays video games

My fur baby is a part English Spot rescued rabbit named Domino...yep, he's black and white. I also have two Florida Cooter turtles named Zippy and ZugZug

My favorite colors are green and purple.

As for "likes", I'm honestly I'm up for anything. I'm not a huge fan of "cute" things, but when I signed up for the bunny ATC swap, I totally expected to get cute ATCs since buns are cute!

My only dislike is receiving something that you can tell was slapped together. I spend a lot of time on my projects and I totally appreciate when others do, whatever the medium or theme may be.
