I've just made an international move so I am going to take a break from Swap-bot as I get settled.

Art journaling is the best! I enjoy lots of other crafts including: crochet, watercolor, scrapbooking (think more junk journal than cute and coordinated), mail art, and ATCs. I really appreciate crafts that incorporate upcycling.

Most anything goes for me since I think it is fun to get something that a swapper likes to make.

I like all sorts of colors. My favorite patterns are polka-dots and stripes. I am especially into papercrafts and any sort of altered art. I also have a fondness for boxes and little packages of all kinds, such as matchboxes and origami creations. Textiles are also fun and I love anything hand sewn, knitted or crocheted. Last but not least, I am obsessed with words and books, especially in languages that I don't know. I would love to read about your favorite word(s), poetry, and/or book(s).

Art nouveau glamour like in Agatha Christie's Poirot, ethereal and somewhat gothic figures such as Edward Gorey's illustrations, colorful journaling like Teesha Moore's, and plump people like Botero painted.

Send me stationery, postcards, ATCs, ephemera, washi tape, or journals.
