29 sep 08 i had emergency dental work done roughly a week ago. i was out of work and out of my head in pain and in pain killer induced coma. please understand that this has been a rough month but NO ONE is getting flaked! also, because i did not assign partners in the virgo atc swap swap-bot cancelled it. i will attach virgo to libra and we will move forward! thanks 14 sep 08 we have power and internet now - it was over a week with out power and then when it came on it would be out for hours at a time... while we were not destroyed by the hurricane we did suffer a roof leak which has all of my art supplies piled on top of each other with out any clue how to find anything. i am back to work and trying to clean and move back in so for your patients - thanks!

i am a 27 year old sagittarius (strong scorpio cusp.) i am an artist, finally able to create art and write and love life at the same time. i have fallen deeply in love with learning as an experience. with realizing that i can do ANYTHING and doing it. i want to live and not think about it. i want to leave and return seeing things differently. always. i want to become who i am supposed to be, i never want to remain who i am. i have one self published poetry book on lulu.com - broken vessel. i have an empty etsy store (i hope to fill in 2008.) if i were in high school now i would probably be called "emo" as i have a black/gray/deep color style and don't over socialize with absolutely everyone. i am very spiritual, but not very religious. i do love crosses and rosaries...

i have brown eyes. my ears are pierced. i have three pet mice, all girls, named pharisees, delilah, nicodemus. (pharisees and delilah have passed on after living long happy mouse lives!) i have three pet rats, all boys, named vida boheme, noxeema jackson, chi-chi rodriguez.

i am here for the art, handmade and photography swaps. i love etsy, but that could get soooo costly. here i get to share my own art and receive art also, and get mail - what could make that better? i send my items as soon as i get the addresses (unless the item is personalized and then ASAP) so if you do not receive something PLEASE let me know before rating me poorly. i heart anything that takes time and effort, extras are nice but truly not needed. :) i send extra when i can, but for the most part i work very hard on each of the things i make. the extra is in the detail and care i take. my atcs are usually ink & water color; sometimes hand drawn in ink and either colored pencil, water colored, sharpie, crayola marker (because i have been obsessed lately,) or layered paper art. (or a mix of them.) i don't do a lot of lace and picture collage, and over the top is not really my style. i send originals for swaps; UNLESS i okay sending a high quality, hand embellished print with the swap coordinator or i am send the high quality hand embellished print as extra. - did you notice that both times i talked about prints i said quality and hand embellished? what i mean by this is that i have a print of my basic line drawing made on card stock and then i water color, or whatever means i choose, so the end result is still a one of a kind beautiful atc.
