I'm Vicky, I'm 22 year old artist + illustrator, and I live on the South-East coast of England.

I spend my time drawing and making things, reading, baking, taking photographs, making zines, watching bands and writing a lot of lists.

Ideas of things you could send to me: Letters, handmade crafts/art/drawings, polaroids/prints, zines, veggie and baking recipes, mix CDs, sweets, letrasets, stickers and deco tape, embroidery thread, ribbons and buttons, writing stationary, useable UK stamps, packs or rolls of film (can be expired), staedtler pens, postcards, and badges (pins).

I'm vegetarian, so please nothing with gelatin/rennet, no leather & I'd much prefer products by companies that don't test on animals
