Hello my name is Robyn and I was hatched from a Kinder Surprise Egg. I am 30 years old and have a BA in Art. I am a graphic designer by day, artist by night. I have a house rabbit (blonde dutch) named Theo, and a boyfriend of 6 years, named Matthew. I live an hour away from chicago. My favorite color is green and I love every hue and shade of it. I've made a full yoyo quilt, I started when I was 16 and finished about 5 years later. I used scraps from my moms quilting. I am contributing artist for artomat, please check it out - artomat.org. Lately I've been really into mail art and handmade postcards. You can also find my artwork at my website robayre.com.

For the scrap swap - I'd prefer the paper to have design, texture, or patterning to it, rather than a single central image. Also, I don't mind scraps, torn edges and papers cut odd shapes as long as what is left has interesting patterning on it. I use all sorts of tiny pieces for my collaging.

I don't have my ears pierced (never have), so I never need any earrings. I don't like when people unload all the junk they no longer want in their swaps. If you don't want it, what makes you think I'll want it? I try to put together very precious packages, and I hope that all my partners would do the same.

Let's just say I got a degree in Art, not fine art, just Art, because I couldn't decide which area of emphasis I loved more. I am into Photography, Metalwork, Painting, Knitting, Drawing, Serigraphy, Woodblock, Intaglio, Lithography, Fiberarts (I have a spinning wheel), Ceramics, Illustration, Sewing, Computer Design, Mail Art, Collage, you name it, I love it all!
