About Me

i am a 31 year old queer woman. single, no children, no religious affiliation. i work at the front desk of a homeless shelter. i have 3 roommates and a cat. i am terrified of dentists. i can't think of anything else really interesting about me... how about things i dig: religious iconography, paper, smokin' butts, art supplies, sharp scissors, my cat, glitter, cleaning the lint trap in the dryer, gnomes,whimsicality, spirals, collage, homeless people, cross stitch, bright colors, wine, butterflies, pin-up art, rubber cement, burritos,the smell of a late afternoon rain shower in on a sunny summer day, faeries, shiny things, rainbows, fractals, holograms, nag champa, schizophrenics, pie, mod podge, tiny food, large women, resin casting, miniature things,stickers, acrylic paint, recycling, rubber stamps, art journals, paisley,

Favorite Crafts

mostly i do a lot of collage ( lately of the one inch square and ATC variety). i also like to cross stitch, do newspaper poetry (or is that just collage with words...), and i've recently started doing a few little comic strips and drawing humorous trading cards of people i work with. i made a quilt once, but that was a lot of effort since it was a queen size quilt that used 4 inch squares. i guess collage is really my favorite. i'll do anything as long as it involves paper, scissors and adhesive! i just started working with resin and jewelry making. it's WICKED FUN! also started playing around with acrylic painting. fun and messy!

Comment: What a great package! You could substitute for Santa any time. I am getting ready to start my first Dotee, so the fabric and yarn are very welcome. The glittery glue sticks are so neat. I didn't even know there was any such thing. I love the magnets you made and shall enjoy them. The foam stickers are so great. I am already thinking of how I can use them. The glass beads are so pretty and the erasers are great fun. Your package makes me feel more creative and encourages me to try new things. Thank you so much.
