I like to recycle and craft. I upcycle fabric to make plushies and functional things; I reuse computer and electronic components to make jewelry, accessories, and sculptures; I salvage miscellaneous papers to make postcards, ATCs, and collages. I also just really like to doodle. :)

If you're wondering what I might like, here are some general ideas. But please (!) make whatever you feel like creating, without censorship or concern for how the end product will be received. Be creative!

repurposed materials
handmade
texture, textiles, text
original artwork
multimedia
functional art (think bags, magnets, jewelry, etc)
printmaking
ink
macros

stories: about you, your process, nonfiction or otherwise

surprises!

campfires

veganism
fuzzyness

fountain pens

sharing
overstuffed stuff puzzles

baby dolls
complicated telephones

television commercials
non-recyclers
complaining

socks with sandals
leaf blowers

With respect to my taste, I always prefer handmade/salvaged over store bought/new.

If you're sending me something, pretty please write the swap name somewhere on the package.
