⋆ I am a responsible swapper; I rate and send promptly. Please message me if there are any problems (postage due, damaged mail, possibly lost mail, etc.).
January 2021: I’m usually open to private swaps of almost any kind and can usually offer postcards or handmade ATCs/digital art. (My art Instagram linked above has some digital art samples.) I would also love to exchange recipes, mail art/letters, and possibly even makeup/skincare. Recently, I took a very introductory sewing class and would love to hear from others about their sewing experience/tips and tricks.
I collect art of my original character Tlaloc and may be up for an art trade.
A little about me:
I’m a 20-something-year-old Californian who loves cats, food, reading, and traveling. I like learning about other cultures and regions so if you don't know what to write in a swap, tell me something about your local area! It'll probably be added to my long-list of things to do someday. :)
My goal is to visit 30 countries before I’m 30 and all the U.S. national parks at least once in my lifetime.
I love talking about books so feel free to add me on Goodreads. I also read a lot of manga, but keep that list separate.
You can see some of my old ATCs and other art here.
⋆ my favorite themes include: cats, outer space, Japan, Studio Ghibli, Moomin, fairytale, pin-up, illustrations, mythology, science, travel
⋆ assorted things I like: ABBA, the Golden Gate Bridge, cats, fountain pens, Flow magazine, unique/handmade papers, stickers, hot air balloons, graphic novels/comic books, national parks, cherry blossoms, patterned bandages, aerogrammes/postalettes, typewriters, trains, mountains, Japanese/Taiwanese washi tape, wax seals, calligraphy, mail art, watercolors, long staircases, architecture and design, blackout poetry, sharks, shiba inu, FriXion pens, Gelly Roll pens
⋆ Food/snacks/drinks: aerated chocolate, cookies and cream flavored stuff, tea, salty snacks
⋆ I like puns, sarcasm, satire, parody, and sometimes offensive/dirty humor.
⋆ If I'm in a swap for naked postcards, I'd love a tourist postcard from your area with a nice message! I prefer tourist view cards written and stamped from place of origin (postcards sent while on vacation are my favorite).
⋆ Likes for unwritten/blank postcards: Inge Look, gotochi, neat postmarks and stamps (on the outside of the envelope), illustrated cards, vintage travel poster, maxi cards
⋆ Specific postcard wishlists/favorites: one and two
⋆ unused postage
⋆ envelopes bigger than 4" x 6"
⋆ anything religious (inspirational and non-denominational quotes are fine)
⋆ random junk/loose bits and scraps of paper
⋆ dystopian novels with romance in them
⋆ friendship books/label bags/etc.
⋆ strong scents (cigarette smoke and floral perfumes can trigger my headaches)
⋆ cocoa tea, chrysanthemum tea, cookies with nuts
Calvin and Hobbes, Chew (comic book series), Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, Yotsuba&!, books about food (science) or textiles/fashion
I love altered/upcycled art and would love to receive any well-made craft including ATCs, tags, mail art, crochet, zines, mixed media art of all kinds, or even your personally created recipe (written down), etc. I am a huge fan of watercolor art, letterpress, and silkscreening as I used to do those myself.
