About Me

Hello there!

Thank you for visiting my account.

I'm a Dutchie living in France (moved there 20 years ago) and enjoying the life in the countryside next to Paris (really only 20 trainminutes away from the City center!). I'm married, we have 3 children and a dog. I'm an artist and I do voluntary work.

So my hobby is my work, which includes: painting and collage.

I'd love to exchange with you and my favorite crafts are: Collage, Happy mail, Junk journaling, ATC exchange, Painting, Penpalling

A T T E N T I O N, PLEASE USE A PLAIN ENVELOPE :

ALTHOUGH I LOVE RECEIVING ENVELOPE ART, I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU, WHEN SENDING TO ME, TO DO SO IN A P L A I N E N V E L O P E, too many pretty envelopes have not arrived over here.....Someone in our mail system must have liked them too ;/

Take a look at my instagram account to see my style: atelierdejacinte

......and send me a message in case you're interested to exchange letters, JJ materials, ATCs, old paper etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Favorite Crafts

Collage : mainly working with old (vintage) paper from books and magazines

Painting with acrylic paints : flowers, still-llifes and portraits)

Junkjournaling : preferably with vintage material

Lately I've taken up embroidery again, but in a slightly different way; embroidery on paper (like old photographs)

Favorite Books

I am member of an english speaking/reading bookclub since 2004. We read a book every month and come together (bringing food and drinks :D) to discuss the book and many other things.

My favorite books are historical ones;

The Pillars of the Earth (by Ken Follet) for example

Or the whole series of books about Henri VIII by Philippa Gregory of which 'The Other Boleyn Girl" is just one.

Also I loved to read : The Professor and the Madman (Simon Winchester) Burial rites (Hannah Kent) A thousand splendid suns (Khaled Hosseini)

And many many more....

Favorite Music

I have a favorite radio station here in France that I could easily listen to all day : Radio FIP. They have a very eclectic choice in music and I never get bored listening to the music they play.

And further I just love the voice of Rag'n Bone Man, great fan of his song "Human".

Likes and Dislikes

Things I love:

  • I really like old paper as in bookpages in different languages, also old laces and especially old photographs. I regularly visit antique fairs just to look around en enjoy!

  • Botanical illustrations (from old books)

  • And oh.... chocolate (the darker the better because it contains less sugar)

  • The colors blue, green, purple en cool red


Things I don't really like:

  • Tea (I'm not a tea drinker, I largely prefer coffee!)

  • Sweets (trying to prevent diabetes which runs in the family)

  • The colors orange, brown and pink

Comment: Thank you for the letter and the extras! I LOVE the mouse card you made :) (I just want to let you know for any future mail art swaps that some stickers on an envelope aren't generally considered mail art, so it doesn't really meat the requirements. But it doesn't feel right to give you a 3, because you sent such lovely things to me!)

Comment: Thank you for such a beautiful postcard. I love the cactus with roses. That shade of pink is so pretty with green. I love the stamp you used, too. I understand your love of tulips. Sadly, they require being dug up each winter and refrigerated in our moderate climate of the bay area. But daffodils and narcissus thrive here and are blooming right now. Best wishes!

Comment: Hello Jacinte I loved reading your letter! Also don't worry about it being homemade, I appreciate homemade things like this :D when in my profile it says no homemade card it's for the postcard swaps! Thank you so much I loved it and I kinda wish it was longer you have a really good calligraphy and the way you write got me hooked up :)
