StaticEmbrace

I am an odd one. I like snail mail and anything whimsical and crazy. I paint and read a ton in my spare time but with classes getting ever harder that time is, sadly, dwindling down. I started mail trades by working in ATCs and you can find me by the same user name at ATCsForAll.

I love anything cutsey themed or that is truely artistic. Hand drawn or painted things are especially near and dear to my heart. My personal specialty is watercolor and I'm always down for personal trades if someone is interested and sends me a message :)

Oh my! Where to start. I really am more interested in science fiction and fantasy more than anything else. I adore french literature (that's my major) and poetry. Aimé Césaire is a genius. As far as books in english go, I am in love with Marie Ponsot. Her poetry, especially in The Green Dark, just really speaks to me. Novel wise, It'd have to be Neil Gaiman all the way. I could reread Neverwhere forever.

My art is a weird blend of whimsical and realistic. I love bright colors and paints, glitter and ephemera, but most of all I love paper, especially of the handmade variety.

I often draw with prisma color pencils or watercolor paint. I've always wanted to try my hand with gouache but i'm a bit scared that it might just be a waste. Acrylics are a classic stand by for me but I haven't been working in them in a while.

I've recently been trying printmaking which I love dearly, but i'm finding a conflict between my love of printing and my love of ATCs, it seems most people don't like them as they aren't original, which makes me sad.

I'm currently trying my hand at sewing (right now my goal is to make some tights so I'm trying to find some cool/cute spandex to play with.

I want to learn how to needlefelt badly! It just looks so cool and cute!

I'm screen printing a shirt for the dear bf. He's gonna love it :3

And, as always. I'm knitting. I'm always knitting, and yet never finishing anything.

If people are going to be sending me goodies, which I will admit doesn't happen often, but we all can hope, I love smelly things. I know, It's strange, but funky unique handmade soap or perfume is right up my alley. It's a bit of an obsession. That and lipstick. I adore lipstick.

Aside from that I love address label stickers (like, alot - ALOT) and handmade paper.
