Greetings and happy swapping!

My name is Helene and I am nemophilist living on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

I am keen to swap handmade postcards, artist trading cards, artist trading coins, 3x3s, inchies, twinchies, flipbooks, folders, pockets and other themed paper crafts and collages."

I love rich, opulent colours and metallics. I use a lot of gelli printing in crafts and I love making layered mixed media projects of all kinds, but particularly if there is an added theme or creative challenge.

Important to me

I am an ally of the environment, equality, and anyone who identifies as one from the LGBTQ2+ community - trans rights are human rights. I am VERY passionate about the right to women's reproductive health and the right to reproductive choice, and I am an ally of all First Nation communities whose land I am grateful to live, work, play, and craft on.

The US post is a nightmare right now. I am getting a lot of mail sent back to my house for not "conforming to US post standards" . Some of these packages aren't even going to the US but for some reason Canadian mail seems to go through the US. Even mail sent from a Canadian post office is sometimes being refused. It's beyond me and the postal workers here, but I'll keep resending and try not to join too many swaps.

I personally think it has to do with the US election as the US postmaster Louis DeJoy is an old pal of Trump.

Please send me a message if you don't get a package or you have issue with something I've sent. I would like a chance to resend or make it right before receiving a poor rating. And PLEASE don't tell someone that thier handmade paper crafts were thrown in the garbage 😥. Have a little respect and put it in the recycling bin at least!

SOME IMAGES/THEMES I ENJOY:

• skulls, bones, and anatomy

• flora and fauna - leaves, trees, forest creatures

• suns, moon, stars

• bats, birds, butterflies, bugs, insects, and arachnids of all kinds, but especially the beetle and spider species

• vintage, victorian, and gothic themes and images

• mythical creatures, fairies, gnomes, magical beings......

• elements and elemental correspondences

• travel/exploration

Prague (and Cesky Krumlov) CZ should be on everyone's bucket list!

• First Nation's and Inuit art and themes (Coast Salish art below)

• themes from the ocean, the sky, and space

HALLOWE'EN everything all the time

ANYTHING HANDMADE BY YOU

Please don't send me:

*religious quotes or images.....

• foam shapes or kid crafts

• colouring pages

• city postcards

• kawaii stickers

• cartoon characters, princess, Disney

• Please don't send your current ephemera like yesterday's bus ticket, receipts, labels etc.

I would very much prefer to receive a partially destroyed or water damaged package than an envelope completely covered in packing tape. I can reuse the paper easier without the tape too. Thank you!
