Mandolin50

I'm a woman who likes creating things, particularly with papers and printed cotton fabrics. Currently my main focus is on paper collage, however, I enjoy making things from textiles as well.

I enjoy a wide variety of music and have an extensive CD collection to back that up. Everything from classical, opera, jazz, folk, greek, tango, fado, big band, easy-listening, 50s and 60s rock and roll, and on and on..........

Oldies - early 60s and earlier. Black and white. Film noir. Old musicals (Fred and Ginger).

Television today doesn't have much to offer me, so I buy boxed sets of old TV series like Perry Mason and enjoy those.

Textile arts and paper collage.

I also love to garden and to cook (low fat vegan). I love browsing in thrift shops because I always find things that I am able to use in my crafts for a very reasonable price. I am all for recycling and remaking something old into something new.

As for what I would like to receive from other swappers, I would say make for me whatever strikes your fancy. I am not going to specify colour or any other preferences. I will appreciate the effort you put into your creation.

If you want to throw in a little something extra, I would be happy to receive little fabric swatches, preferably 100% cotton with a nice (not cutsy) design. And perhaps some interesting papers.
