Comment: BEEYUTIFUL ATC!! Thank you!! I love it~ Your garden sounds lovely.. I'd love to see those pitcher plants~ We have some here in New Jersey and they are protected by law :) I live in the Sourlands - https://sourland.org/ No.. NJ Is not all cities-- its got 3 major cities and the rest is rather residential and A LOT of farms - IT's called the "Garden State" for a reason! Gets a bad rap coz of Newark (near NYC) LOL!!
Response: I posted a few pitcher photos to my Instagram (oreotalpa) recently, since they were blooming and I impulse-purchased a new baby recently! Mine are domestic hybrid Sarracenia - related to your wild ones, but I've never been lucky enough to see Sarracenia in the wild. Someday, perhaps...(with a lot of bug spray). They're really wonderful plants to keep, very easy and rewarding. The Sourlands look amazing - gotta add them to my bucket list!

Comment: Thank you for my card! The Blue mountains have been on my wanderlust-list for years, but I had no idea there were such caves there. I like caves more than mountains, thank you for the inspiration to dust off my passport
Response: The Blue Mountains are not all that mountainy (at least by my standards), but they are absolutely gorgeous and there are lots of cool things to see in the area! Highly recommend.

Comment: oh, wow, I love this card! Thank you so much, it's beautiful! And what a fun weekend, with all your drawing classes!! That's cool about your Cooper Hawk... a very healthy ecosystem you've got going there! :)
Response: It's pretty good, although I am aiming to replace some of the invasive plants (so much English ivy) with native plants, or at least plants that provide more wildlife food. But there is a lot of activity out there!

Response: Yay, glad you liked them! There are a lot of botanical illustrators teaching online classes in Europe (more than in North America, honestly), so you might be able to find a similar workshop if you look around.

Response: Thank you! Holly is honestly my favorite piece of art I've ever done - I'm 100% happy with her. Got to credit her for being such an inspiring subject! Stampeaz has some blocks I haven't tried yet, so perhaps I'll put in an order from them after I work through my current materials.

Comment: I enjoyed hearing about your weekend. Making tea sounded interesting. And the ZOOM art class sounded fascinating. But I’m very intrigued by your crow watching/feeding. We have lots of robins and some swallows, which are a nuisance. TYVM for sharing. I loved the extras too!!!!
Response: I admit I still haven't tried the homemade tea yet, haha. I suppose I should do that. The crow has definitely become a regular visitor - I think today he brought a young one, but it flew off when I tried to get a good look! I guess some people think crows are a nuisance, but so far I feel they've been very polite.

Comment: We are neighbors! Thank you so much for my awesome gifts. Seriously going online to USPS and order the Darth Vader stamps--I've never seen these before. Enjoyed reading your note. I love my authentic vintage postcards (especially the scalloped edges). My washi samples and stickers are pretty cool as well.
Response: Indeed! I'm sorry to say that the Vader stamp is from a 2007 Star Wars set I still have a couple partial sheets of, but if one keeps an eye out it's possible to get older stamps for face value or less (I'll send you a message about some local possibilities). They're only 41c so you have to add another 14c to get to an oz. It looks like we have another Star Wars issue (droids!!) coming out in May, though!

Comment: Wow these atcs are amazing! I'd never think of them as sticker slapped at all, they're beautiful little works of art. Very creative use of address labels and all the stickers you used. I love them both, thank you.
Response: Glad you liked them! I admit, every time I see the phrase "sticker slapping" I take it as a personal dare, haha. It's just collage with the glue already built in. 😂

Comment: Aw, I love Towhees! And that's really cool about the class you finished up... Learning good stuff since you're not invested in the results because you don't like that particular medium. Ha, that's brilliant! Thanks for sharing your weekend with me!
Response: I was originally disappointed the color theory class was in colored pencil, but I was definitely pleasantly shocked how much I learned drawing random boring household objects and shaded spheres in a medium I don't love. It really changes the mindset! Now I just have to figure out how to actually apply what I learned to subjects I AM invested in...

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card and note. I have thought about pausing my sub to Stickii but it brings me too much joy. I store some of the Stickii folders in a compatible binder I found on Amazon and I use the small Avery binder with its matching sleeve pockets to put my favorite sheets in. Luckily have teacher mother in law who just loves that I give her tons of stickers. Have you seen the Stickii BAO yet? I love it for taking swap writing on the go! I saw your watercolors on your Instagram. You are quite good. Keep having fun with it!
Response: I have seen the Bao, but it's more than I can bring myself to spend on a stationery bag...neat, though! I ended up with four cheap Stickii-sized binders and I'm a little alarmed by how many stickers I have, haha! Thank you for your nice comments on my watercolor - I am still learning so much!

Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful envelope of birdy items! They are all so nice and I have never seen that wide washi before with the backing--such a good idea to use as stickers! I feel very lucky that you were my partner,😀
Response: You're very welcome! The washi with backing seems to have started showing up fairly recently - on AliExpress it's usually called "special ink" washi - I'm not sure what Etsy sellers call it. It is a lot easier to cut things out of than regular superwide washi!

Comment: Thank you for the letter and the postcard! I love it all! I was so happy when I found those white and red labels, i've seen them in instagram and I always wanted to use them, but I can't find them anywhere, thank you <3
Response: Vintage Dennison labels have become kind of a hot commodity! I have only found a few that weren't overpriced - they're so expensive on Etsy and Ebay. I think the company (now Avery) could make some money by producing some nostalgic gummed labels! I'm kind of surprised it's not easier to find modern versions. I'm working on a surprise for your next letter! :-)

Kilauea is one of the more approachable eruptions on our planet, but all kinds of unpredictable things can still happen. I am very glad I did the hike, though.

Comment: Thanks for the blue/turquoise items! One of my favorite colors, and there's some fun stuff to make use of. I am baffled by the flower - it looks like a dye cut, but on closer inspection was cut out of a magazine. Like how does one cut so perfectly around that??? Your cute scaly note was my fave though. Thanks!
Response: Heh, um, very tiny embroidery scissors and a compulsive nature? I have a massive pile of field guide and dictionary cutouts (more than I can ever use) now due to it being my destress method of choice at the moment. I think that one was from a kid's dictionary. Hope you have fun!

Response: You're welcome! Snakes mostly want to get away, so you're probably fine as long as you flip logs and trash can lids away from you - but it does sound startling (and a good excuse not to weed)! The weeds are an eternal battle....

Response: I'm super glad you liked it! I really love putting together little packages of repurposed ephemera. I had to have my mom mail it since I was going out of town, but I'd underestimated postage and my nice local postal clerk carefully selected additional thematic stamps. I thought you might like the unused ones, also. :-) I found a man selling off his collection on Craigslist a while back and was able to stock up on some amazing vintage postage!

We can even swap for some. Again, thank you so much and thank you for joining! x
Response: Haha, yes, book art has been a bit of a struggle for me...but I mostly go for damaged or battered books that I get super cheap, like at library sales. I figure it's better than pulping! Sometimes I get a book and then decide I can't bear to cut it up, though. I'm glad you liked the packagelet! I'd be happy to swap handmade stickers sometime.

(Seriously, it's a fun obsession, and at least for me sidesteps the problem with storebought stickers where I can never bring myself to USE my favorites. And once my life settles down I'd be happy to do a private swap for more if you want - I did a huge handmade sticker swap earlier this year but my partner dropped off the face of the planet without sending, so after I have time to rebuild the stash I'd be up for trying again with someone else.)

Comment: Melissa, I really like this ATC! Your stamping technique is masterful...such nice images. Thanks for the Sci-fi rec...I have downloaded Spin State for holiday reading. Sounds like my kind of sci-fi...My current is Orson Scott Card's Keeper of Dreams...short stories so I can read one before I fall asleep. ; )
Response: Thank you - honestly, my technique is so-so, but Versafine ink is magical. I hope you enjoy Spin State - I'm not quite done yet.

Comment: Interesting I received your PC today, my daughter and I were just talking about Portland yesterday she is considering going to school there. It looks like a beautiful city with the mountain and background and I didn't know was classified as the city of roses. We live in an area where there's lots of bears and wildlife around us and I love that fact and seen them in their natural habitat. Thank you for the wonderful postcard and letter 😀
Response: It's pretty nice (or at least parts of it are), and close to nature, although it can be tough to get to it without a car. Not many bears, though! There are some good schools here.

Response: I'm glad you liked the envelope (I...sort of remember what I did, maybe) - I've been trying to experiment lately with fun but easy ways of decorating them.

Comment: I had to google the cranes call and you're right, pretty cute :D I love the geese landing on the first photo, you've captured the speed (lack of it?) very nicely! I'm pretty sure I have at least one postcard that has the mill in it since I loved it and your photo is just lovely, I really like the flow of water in it. And as cliche as the maple tree might be it's just so gorgeous, I LOVE the branches and Fall is one of my favorite times because of the colors (we call it 'ruska' here in Finland :)) so even though I like all the photos that one might be my favorite ;) Thanks for sharing and thanks for checkin out my blog! I love my halfsies :,D
Response: Thank you so much! I love fall, too - colors and all the nice fog, although I'm bad at getting up early for it.

Comment: I really like the postcard you made! I was lucky enough to snorkel with whale sharks. It was terrifying because they are enormous. I've never seen any sharks snorkeling around reefs and I hope I never do. I would be scared! Thanks much.
Response: Did the postcard survive the mailing process okay? I'm still figuring out method, so any feedback is helpful. I'm so envious you got to snorkel with whale sharks! They are so amazing, but I imagine the sheer size is intimidating. White-tipped reef sharks are pretty safe to be around, but I still had that moment of primal fear.

I had to look up how you did a sun print and it sounds like a lot of fun. :D Thanks for sharing your creative paper with me and all the other sweet treats, along with your lovely note. :) Best wishes, Sara
Response: I'm so glad you liked the items! Sunprinting is incredibly fun - I just got a little $7 kit with the small squares of paper to experiment small scale, but I have dreams of doing a cotton scarf if I can figure out how to get a big enough sheet of non-UV-blocking acrylic or glass.
