About Me

Hello, I am Ffi. Nice to meet you. I'm a fan of snail mail but unfortunately I do not have much opportunity to use it, given technological advances such as the internet. It'd be nice to meet people on here and share pictures and thoughts, in the form of art, writing and various other ephemera.

Craft-related hobbies

Painting, drawing, photography, D.I.Y. projects, home decorating and most other forms of art-making

Other interests

Long distance bike riding in the countryside; adding music to my iPod; interesting vegetarian food (I like Indian and Italian food in particular); books; movies; art history; culture and roller blading. I also like animals, and especially Plu Plu, my pet rat. That's him below. :)

What kind of swapper am I?

I like letter-writing and nostalgia. I am interested in penpalling and enjoy the creative, handmade, personal approach to mailing. The concept of swapping Artist Trading Cards and original artwork is also very appealing to me. At the same time, I am not fussy about what I receive as long as it tells me something about the sender.

Private swaps / penpal proposals are welcome- message me! I'd love a few new penpals.

Still stuck?

The following list are just things I like and are meant to help if you're in a swap with me and you have no idea what to make or what style of decoration to use.

Fairies, Medieval style, castles, princesses, mermaids, vintage, nineties music and style, Buffy, kawaii, comic books and graphic novels, unicorns, elves, art deco, art history (in particular, painters like Van Gogh and Klimt), Pink Floyd-style psychedelics, Riot Grrl, anything pretty, decorated letters, long and thoughtful letters, anything fantasy-related, flowers, plants, animals and dinosaurs. Think that about sums it up!

-------------------------------------------------------------

  • Kindly, I would prefer not to receive "naked" mail, like postcards, as I like to keep my mail private. Decorated envelopes are still very welcome.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Follow my website link to have a look at my Tumblr blog. I will be posting photos of received swaps as well as swaps I have made. Flickr won't allow me in as I use photobucket to edit!

Comment: Oh! I LOVE Wales! I visited Caerdydd (and Welsh is like an elvish language from Tolkien's!) and I hope to visit Wales always when I'm in the UK (my dad lives in Gloucestershire). Would you mind if I write you back?
Response: Hehe, It is a bit like Middle Earth here! I'd love that. And thanks again for your package. Gdansk seems like a lovely place (according to Google image search :P )

Comment: W.O.W. :))) L.O.V.E. :))) Will do private swap with you any time! If you're interested for country related swaps and you would like to get to know more about Croatia, you can read on my profile what I usually swap for this type of swaps. PS. I've sent you an invitation to Swaps for Europe group where I'm co-founder and would love if you accept it. We usually don't approve members with less than 10 swaps but I'm doing an exception in your case. :)
Response: Yay! So happy you liked it! Thanks for sending me a group invitation- sounds like a good group. I like the sound of a private swap although I haven't done any before, so I am a bit dumbfounded as to how they're set up. I'd love to know more about Croatia- it's a mystery to me and I love finding out about countries that are new to me. I'll paste this message on your page so that I'm sure you get to see it.
