About Me

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. :)

Favorite Crafts

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.

Mediums In My Work

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

Who's in my life...

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

Likes and Dislikes

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.

Comment: Hello Carolyn, Thank you for your "red" ladybug ATC that you designed and created for this swap. I like the idea of making a monochromatic ATC. I will add your ATC to my Insect ATC Series with pleasure. Hope we have further opportunities to swap with one another in the future. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping to you!!!
