I'm a 34 yr old single mum and full time uni student. I'm studying textiles at wolverhampton and always love finding new fabrics, yarns, beads and materials to use in mixed media art. I'll always send to someone what I would like to receive myself. Getting packages in the post is so exciting I hope whoever gets mine will enjoy them. :0)

I love all sorts of music from pop to classic and opera. Currently I'm listening to scouting for girls and cant wait to see them at the Vfestival in August.

My friends think its funny that I dont like horror films but I read what the call blood and guts books. Love anything by Karin Slaughter, Patricia cornwell or James Patterson. for light relief I really enjoy erica James.

Since starting uni television doesnt really get a look in anymore. I do enjoy documentaries and crime dramas.

My favourite material to work with at the moment is water soluble fabric, I love all the effects that you can get with it and I'm still exploring the possibilities. I make alot of abstract art pieces in textiles but there are so many things I would love to have a go at. Altered books, ATC and scrapbooking. I also love photography. There are examples of my work on flickr under birgittadesigns ( one word ) and my blog.

interesting fabrics or yarns, beads, buttons,hand made papers,little odds and ends, stash left overs, inspiration kits, colour themed pictures, inspirational images, anything turquoise, lime green, hot pink, black white or grey. postcards of far away places, buddhas, something interesting about or from where you live. Craft tutorials - any techniques, materials ideas you'd like to share. Mini altered sketch books/journals/notebooks.

Has to be turquoise...or lime green...or cerise...or a combo haha
