About Me

I am a compulsive crafter, learning new crafts whenever and wherever I find them. My budget is limited, but my enthusiasm is big!

I am a philosophy student, which I guess makes me a philosopher, although that may be debatable. Or not.

I react badly to cigarette smoke, so pretty please try not to smoke while making swaps for me. Thank you very much!

I do rate - although the postal service in Wales is a bit dodgy, so please be patient when waiting for either a parcel or a rating! And I will always send my swaps, so if it hasn't arrived after 4 weeks contact me and we'll sort something out! On the same note, if you're running late just let me know, I'm happy to wait for something well-thought out!

I really really appreciate thoughtful notes or interesting comments. I love to hear about your thoughts behind a swap, and when it comes to postcards I much prefer to get one thats written on than a blank.

Favorite Crafts

I love to paint.

I also do: knitting, crochet, sewing, drawing in various media, spinning, weaving, rag rugging, beading, jewellery making, make occasional sock creatures, and collaging (mostly SoulCollaging, see http://www.soulcollage.com).

A Few of My Favourite Things..

I love:

Reds. Any reds. Then firey colours. I prefer strong, pure colours so deep rich greens, blues and purples also go down well.

Cats! Big, small, any cats...

Then most animals really.

Philosophy.

Art magazines, and learning new crafts.

Singing, and dancing at the local night-spot.

Natural areas, especially wooded!

Short stories.

Magic and fantasy. (Real and fictional).

Non-twee Fairies, like the Brian Froud fey rather than the Victorian glittersprites (although I do have a soft spot for Tinkerbell, the cheeky creature that she is).

Comics, especially the arty indie ones with really touching moments or a philosophical bent.

Tarot.

I really like ATCs and card sized things because I have a soft spot for decks of cards as they have a tactile element, you can shuffle them and lay them out and they'll tell you a different story each time.

Circles and spirals.

Strong coloured, dynamic inspirational pictures.

Black and white designs.

Images with one figure that tells a story all on its own.

Notebooks and sketchpads and really nice slim pens (I collect stationary!)

Wooden things.

Small things that are useful, or just small things.

Boxes. Bit of a pandora for boxes :)

I'm Not So Keen On...

Not a fan of:

Pastels, and I tend not to enjoy greys and smudgey browns, although in context they can be nice.)

Clothes on animals. Turns me cold.

Really girly things, pastel pinks and bling can make the most gorgeous kitten untouchable.

Deforestation.

Smokey grey cities (although the view over an industrial area at night, with its columns of blue smoke and fire and sea of lights can be stunning!)

Violence, gore, and anything eyeball related is probably worth avoiding, thanks. I really mean it about the eyeball thing.

Comment: Cute! I love the little lamb. :)
Response: Thank you! The lamb was too cute to pass up on adding to the doll, its one of two I made and I have the other, so you now have a very rare, limited edition lamb bead! :) And you can't have a Mary without a garden... Glad you like her!

Comment: We have Welsh on my mother in law's side, "welton" although you probably hear that alot. my husband's deviant art is thundercatt99. I have lived in Yorkshire but it wasnt' a great time w/my ex so I didnt' see anything historical. I actually "rode" BY the Palace while leaving London haha. Anyhow take care and much good wishing for your art! u know you are young yet, & we do that when we are young but forget as we get older, married, kids etc. DONT' DO THAT. Ha ha. oh and thanks

Comment: It took me forever to figure out from whom it was, pls remember to put swap name, i get pcs from other groups etc., thanks, D!
Response: Shoot! Did I not put it on there? I sign my name with the name I use on here, and I was sure I went through and put the words "swapbot: postcards - Lots of 'em (3)" on the top of each postcard in this swap! I didn't on the first swap I did and realised how silly that was. Really sorry if I missed writing it on yours!
