May 2013

Been away from Swap-Bot... mostly trying to catch up with my personal mailing projects. ha! I will never catch up! But, the attempt is pretty fun. :)

About Me

Yay Vegan! Being vegan is the best and most important thing about me! I love being vegan!

I read books: science fiction, animal fiction, mainstream, and random non-fiction.

I keep a paper journal. And a blog. I make postcards. I take pictures with a digital camera. I enjoy art in many forms.

Favorite Crafts

Photography: I take pictures of nature; love trees, flowers and any kinds of animals that I find, including bugs and pets. I am all about point and shoot, none of that fancy stuff with the manual settings!

Postcards: I've been involved in a (5 card) monthly postcard exchange since July 2008. I make my own postcards using my photographs and desktop publishing software.

Crochet: I have been known to make a few Snuggle Blankets, but not currently.

Drawing: I can draw, I mostly don't. I like to draw animals, the occasional zentangle-type design, and coloured abstract pictures. If I colour my sketches, it's usually with coloured pencils and art stix. I also collect Copic markers.

Book Making: Not currently, but I've made loads of blank books, hand sewn bindings. More recently, I love my Bind-It-All, and I use it regularly to make journals and log books.

Bookmarks: I have been making stencil bookmarks recently, and really enjoy the process and picking the colours and the finished bookmark.

Favorite Television

I don't watch much, but there are a few shows I like... Doctor Who (I love the new, but it all started with the old!), Warehouse 13, Bones, Castle and our local PBS Art Beat and Field Guide.

Favorites

∞ Postcards I'd love to receive nature, animals or art postcards. But I'm not picky! I just like to get mail: send me anything, and then write something interesting in the text block! :) Also love handmade postcards!

Favorite Books

Oh my gosh, I love to read! I also love to buy books! Also have a place in my heart for ebooks!

Currently Reading in May: Song of the Dodo, a science book about island biology and extinctions. Absolutely fascinating.

I'd Like to TRY...

crochet amigurumi

stamp carving

designing and making a book with copyright-free text and graphics (specifically, some Beatrix Potter books!)

drawing and colouring my own postcards

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful PC and for resending. I'm actually amazed that more postcards don't go missing in the USPS process - those machines are so hard on the cards!
Response: oh gosh, no kidding! I've gotten a few returns: the machine grabs and rips right where the postcard address is! ♥ Thanks for the heart!! ♥

Comment: Hi Rift, thanks for the cool champagne card. I do enjoy champagne, but you pretty much have to drink it all right away. Easy to guzzle. All the best, Cynthia
Response: *laughs* Whee!

Comment: Wow, what an amazing card, I love the crow... How do you get the cards to print out on the postcard format? Brilliant! Thanks
Response: Thank you! I use desktop publishing software... but I print on regular letter-sized paper, and cut the postcards down to size on a Fiskars rotary paper cutter.
