I AM TAKING A HIATUS FOR SCHOOL FROM SWAP-BOT! IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME FOR ANY REASON PLEASE EMAIL ME AT [email protected]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello! I am a college student with a penchant for letter writing, collecting paper tidbits, and sharing the cool things I find in and around campus! I have a pretty minimalist vintage style (think brown paper, black and white, greys and blues,) but I find joy in any small thing that brings light to the world. My hobbies outside of crafting include reading, hiking/camping/kayaking, playing the cello or guitar, and baking!

I love short stories, especially Margaret Atwood, Oscar Wilde, and Ray Bradbury. I highly recommend the poem "Orphan Stories" by Atwood as well, it is one of my favorites. My childhood favorite books were The Mysterious Benedict Society and Eragon. While I tend to stick to classic literature, I can give recommendations for any taste! English majors are fun.

As a cello player, I have a love of classical music, particularly Prokofiev and Debussy. My music taste in general is quite varied, and there are very few genres I truly dislike. Other favorite groups/musicians include Jukebox the Ghost, Bastille, Tape Five, and Kaleo.

I do mostly papercraft and variations of the same. I paint with watercolors and gouache, as well as charcoal, ink, and graphite work. I also dabble in sculpture (wire and plaster) as well as blacksmithing, so there may be some fun 3d pieces of art in my mail!

Likes: Blue, neutral colors, yellow, birds, dogs, trees/plants, succulents, cool rocks, funny socks, dinosaurs, dragons, green tea, dark chocolate, ginger, sour things. As far as paper goes, please send brown paper, fabric swatches, floral prints, retro cutouts, any and all stickers. Additionally, even plain crafting supplies such as Glue Dots, exacto knives, plain tape, paper clips, and more are all exciting to me as I am a college student and have a pretty minimal crafting supply! By the same vein, most food is good, as even if I don't like it, someone else in my dorm hall will. || Dislikes: Glitter, bubblegum, banana flavor, Earl Grey tea. Please do not send anything with heavily religious iconography.
