About Me

I like to make lists (if you haven't noticed) so people can skim from one point to the next so they don't have to bother with the stuff they're not interested in or can't relate the swap to or whatever other reason, like it's boring. I hope you've found it helpful if you're stuck on what you should send or need ideas or something.

I am an intergalactic space traveller and artist. I travel in my humble starship Alexandria, exploring new worlds, seeking out new life, -- new civilisations, -- and boldly going where no one has gone before. (Wait, did I steal that from somewhere?)

I love learning and making things, so much of what I swap is made by me (most likely drawn/painted). Perhaps you may find your address has extra information or there is an extra stamp which is cancelled out, -- no worries. This is simply because I've sent it out through Intergalactic Mail (I work for them making stamps freelance, so it would be frowned upon if I used the local Solar System Space Services). They are very speedy and so it should not take too long to get to you, even if I sent your swap out from another planet or galaxy.

You may be wondering, 'If she is traversing space, how will my swap get to her?' Dear reader, do not worry! I have minions of little green men that will get it to me safe and sound. -- Just kidding. I will get it somehow, but that information is secret. (wink)

Comment: What a fabulous swap you sent me! Thank you for the handwritten card, your illustrations are so great! To answer your question, I love all things arrow-themed, not just the ones used for archery! Sorta weird, I know. Thanks for the super awesome extras, I love stickers! And finally...your ATCs are so pretty! And you made TWO! Fantastic swap - I got lucky having you as a partner! :)
Response: That is very interesting about the arrows. Never heard of that, but it's cool too (it's fun!). And I'm so glad you like everything!

Comment: I had a hard time opening the letter because I didn't want to destroy ANYTHING on it, it was so pretty. I wonder if I can soak off the Alice stuff off the front of the envelope. Maybe I'll just cut it out so that I can keep it <3 Awesome package. Nice stickers, ADORE the handmade stickers the best.
Response: I'm really glad you like it all. Everything's done in watercolour, and though it's sprayed with hairspray, I don't know how well it'll hold out. But it's all up to you. Thank you, and, again, I'm glad you like it!

Comment: Your package is ADORABLE! Unfortunately it was completely soaked through from all the rain :( I'm drying out all the stickers and hope they'll be salvagable. I love all your little drawings! Oh my goodness... I just can't believe how cute the whole package was, and the entire envelope you made. I love it. :)
Response: I'm glad you like it! I'm sorry about it not being water-proof; I didn't realise it would be raining (it hasn't rained for a while here, especially considering how much it rained this summer). I hope everything will be okay! If it's not, just tell me and I'll see if I can send something again (covered in plastic, haha). Did the hairspray protect the watercolours? Again, I'm happy you liked everything!

Just stopping by to say hi! I used to write backwards in cursive when I was in high school. Had to make sure no one could read over my shoulder! :) Welcome to Swap-Bot; I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

imlilanglnot on Sep 22, 2009:

Did you do them with tube watercolors or pencils?

imlilanglnot on Sep 22, 2009:

Don't worry about it, totally not your fault! They all look good so far - watercolors included! :)
