I come and go...

Hi there!

Currently taking a break from swapping, but hope to have time for it again some day. My old profile below is still reasonably accurate ;)

I am committed to sending and rating on time, and will only take on a swap or tag if I'm sure I can complete it.

About Me

Office-gal by day, artsy gardener-hippy by night!

I'm a huge science/biology/nature geek, I love plants and animals of all kinds, even (especially!) the ones that most people hate like bugs and rats and snakes. I love trees and beaches and forests and the interconnectedness of ecosystems. I like playing with math and geometry, letters and numbers. I heart mushrooms.

Favorite Crafts

I'm mostly interested in swapping ATCs and other handmade things. I definitely think that originality and creativity are more important than technical skill! I want to listen to the story that your art tells, and I will try to keep my inner critic from interrupting.

Favorite Television

I watch a lot of cartoons! Big fan of South Park and Adult Swim, which appeal to my warped sense of humour. Love anime, currently into the Monogatari Series, Fairy Tail, Madoka Magica.

In case you were wondering...

Weirdness is good. I'm not offended by "dark" or "adult" themes. (kind of drawn to them, actually!)

Regifting: I don't have a problem with "re-gifting" in either sense... I'm okay with receiving second-hand things (in fact, I like objects with history) and I won't be offended if you pass on something that I send to you.

ATCs: I'm not picky about size, irregular shape, and if it has chunky bits hanging off it I'm okay with that. I don't (yet) have an album for my ATCs, and if I ever get one I will probably make a special section for irregulars :)

Hearts: I always go for the heart. But I'm committed to not stressing about the heart. I think the heart is an illusion. What is real was the feeling that inspired the heart, and that is what I am really after :)

Comment: Thank-you for the ATC's. I have heard that rainbows look like donuts when viewed from an airplane but have never been lucky enough to see it myself.

Thank you for the amazing rak. I absolutly love the vending machine art boxes. I showed my mom, and she pulled out all of hers, and we just talked about the summer we traveled around looking for them. It was fun to talk about the past. The rest of the goodies were amazing as well
