About Me

I enjoy:

  • abstract images

  • adaptations of myths & fairy tales

  • art history

  • birds

  • book-binding

  • children's & YA literature

  • cloud-watching

  • etymology

  • found poems, altered text, and other experiments with words

  • mail-art

  • novels (esp. 19th c. British literature)

  • pamphlets & zines

  • photography

  • postcards

  • signs & symbols

  • trees

  • walking

  • wildflowers

I hesitate to list any particular dislikes, but here's one: I'd prefer not to receive any images related to hunting, fishing, or eating meat.

In my "day job," which is also often a "night job," I teach Latin, Greek, and Classics at a small college.

Favorite Books

My favorite authors include Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Angela Carter, and Jane Austen. I also enjoy reading children's literature and retellings of myths and fairytales.

Favorite Crafts

Taking photographs; binding books and designing pamphlets; making collages and abstract pieces.

About Swapping

This probably goes without saying, but please let me know if you haven't received something from me when you should have--I haven't dropped the ball so far, and I'd like a chance to re-send if something got lost in the mail. And I promise to rate my partners in a timely way, too.

Comment: WOW! This surpassed what I expected to get in this swap! You did an amazing job! I LOVE the post card of the little girl. Victorian art can be so amusing! The musuem looks amazing! They did a beautiful job in designing it. Not only does it hold art, but the building itself is art. I checked out your blog and really enjoyed reading it. I love, Love, LOVE the pamphlet you made! Sweet little things like this make my day! THANK you so much!
Response: I'm *so* glad you liked it all : ) And thanks for this great feedback: your kind words really made me smile!
