Im Jessica. Heres a little about me so that you can get the jist of what im about :]. Im always doing crafts with my roommate Channon and were becoming addicted to crafts. I interpret everything as a sign of good or bad luck. Im a student. Im eighteen. Im an artist, a writer, a poet and love doing crafts, but those are only my hobbies, not really my passions. The only passion i have in life is to see as much of the world as i possibly can, and hopefully along the journey I will find that thing that i was destined to do. I hate the way i sound when i write about myself so ill just leave it at that ;]
i like:
-doing arts and crafts
-reading
-finding small treasures
-nature. How it works and the creatures in it.
-making and listening to music
-recycled things
-my zine collection
-my pets
-Starting to become addicted to altered matchboxes
-synthesizers and organs
-parties with good friends
-mixed media art
-Macaroni and cheese :]
-Weird photography. I like to take pictures of dead animals, graffiti (especially in other countries and towns), freight trains, funny bathroom writing, butt cracks, etc..
-making art out of trash
-all forms of graffiti especially stencil art
-goodwill
-trading and especially zine trading
-bettering my mental and physical health
-tattoos and piercings
-having strange animals for pets
-pen and ink drawings
-healthy foods
-natural tea (fruit tea is disgusting and bitter)
-Writing on bathroom stalls (i always carry a paint marker :0)
-carnivorous plants
-tarot cards, and stuff like that
-nintendo 64
-images of hands
-food not bombs
-crystals
-alternative medicine
-good movies, independent films
-writing
-life-changingly good books
-hosting unique swaps on swapbot :]
-making new friends
-most important, i love to travel
I have 2 baby chameleons names Fatty and Dumbass (but looking for a new name for her because shes very sweet even if shes clumsy), a baby turtle named noodles who is as small as a button, and had a fish named sauce until noodles ate her :[. My roommates and I have a bipolar kitten named Texas and a fluffball named socks. Both were rescues.

I've done just about every kind of crafts at one time or another and cant really chose a favorite. Lately its been decorating matchboxes, making weird jewelry, experimentation with the sewing machine and making dolls,photography, putting together neat packages (an art in itsself i suppose), painting canvasses etc. my number one love is handmaking stencils..I also make whimsy jars from gumball machine containers, as far as i know im the inventor of this :] Im really good at making creative ATCS but dont often join ATC swaps because i usually get junk back.. If you want to trade atcs with me then message me :]
-small charms
-photo charms and lockets
-epehemera
-stamps from other countries
-recycled goods
-colored envelopes
-rubber stamps
-a paper puncher in shape of a tag
-yarns and ribbons
-small bags
-very strange books with untraditional formats
I like..... anything unconventional, like matchboxes that open in different ways, atcs that are 3d and very heavilly decorated, when people decorate envelopes in a unique way, etc.. I also like epihemera, small charms, stickers that look old and worn, anything having to do with travel, ocean themes and colors, mermaids, pirate ships, or cool treasures or things from other countries, mexican skulls, old keys and key charms, Space themed things (galaxies, stars, planets) bohemian/gypsyish types of things, venetian maska, detailed rubber stamps and inks, findings, scrapbooking stuff (even though i dont scrapbook), miniatures, pins that say obscene stuff on them, weird dark stuff, handmade jewelry, herbal tea or anything herbaly, neat papers and fabrics, nice color combinations,old postage stamps, I WILL GIVE HEARTS AND LOVE IT WHEN I RECIEVE THINGS IN TINS OR CREATIVE MAIL not boxes, very beautiful stationary, colored envelopes, i love colors, just not really bright ones , decorated matchboxes, whimsy jars :], eastern religions iconography etc.. I like mixed media art which means if you have an atc for exaple, you put bits of fabric or charms on it, or if you made a dotee and added other things onto it besides fabric, etc stuff like that. I like anything that the sender puts effort into that you can tell they did, and when sender puts cute tags and presents stuff nicely :]
I dislike.... Receiving one dimentional atcs, Kawaii, stuff thats too cutesy, colors that are too bright, religions dogma (but like the art) when people send swaps that are thrown together from a bunch of junk, dollar store stuff (I shop there 2-3 times a week i can get it myself :]), the color pink, dog and cat stuff (its just too cheesy) skimpy senders, and holiday themed stuff. Thats all i can think of at the moment. Im pretty easy to please :] My favorite colors are.. -pastel blue/pastel green
-chocolate brown
-deep orange
-teal
-glittery of shimmery of any color
-cobalt blue
-pea green/yellow
-silver or antique bronze (not gold)
-maroon and earthy reds
-mossy green
-do not like bright red or bright purple I've never flaked. if you dont recieve something from me, it got lost in the mail. Please let me know if this is the case, and ill re send :]
I usually send my swaps out within a day or two of receiving partner(s), so those of you who i am sending to are lucky in that respect :]
