Hello!

I make things for a living. Or I live to make things. Whichever. Lots of stationery, postcards, and the odd crocheted piece now and then. If you are extremely interested, feel free to check out my etsy store. (The link is above...)

I also really enjoy putting together special packages to mail out to people. You can rest assured that whatever I send to you will be memorable for both you and the postmaster. I am thoroughly convinced that the postal workers at the local post office think I am crazy.

hand made anything...I enjoy and admire the textile arts and most hand crafts.

rainbows! ... (oh yeah. I'm a long-time fan of them.)

a specific color combination that I currently love is orange and hot pink.....that's if you can't handle a whole rainbow. :P I also like most metallics, I have a slight tendency to spray paint everything gold.

unicorns ... (especially silly ones)

kittens ... (if they have laser eyes, all the better)

pretty much any cute illustration of an animal

alpaca

things that should be scary, but end up cute ... or things that should be cute, but end up scary

polka dots

retro advertisements

tea (I drink it all the time) ...and chai

Talk to me about your fountain pens and fountain pen inks

Tell me about your latest nail polish adventures

books in French - on virtually any subject, and in any condition (tattered, smells like "old book", got it for 10 cents at the second hand store, it doesn't matter bc I love them all!)

zines about pretty much anything (especially minizines, the ones that are 1/8th the size of a standard sheet of paper)

your artwork on a postcard! (that includes photography)

friendship bracelets ... (I'm apparently hooked on them)

mushrooms

the moon, lunar cycles

the sun

astrological charts

astronomical charts

tarot cards

rocks, pretty little glass jars, dried herbs as an aesthetic

things that might be fun to glue into my sketchbook, which has quite a lot of overlap with junk journaling and collaging

coffee

cigarette smoke

beer

Extras are never necessary, but if you like including them (I do, too, if there’s space in the envelope!) —

💕I’d love your artwork on a 4x6 index card :)

💕I’ll put an ATC into the binder I’m collecting them in (and I’m mystified about why people specify sturdy backings all the time, because regular old cardstock fits really nicely into a playing card pocket in a binder!)

💕I like notes about happy little nothing-much moments, like “I went for a walk today, and I saw a leaf shaped just like Texas!”

💕I’ve never met a gel print I didn’t like
