About Me

My name is Debbie - aka "Debrina", the "Governess" and various other pseudonyms. I am a mum to my two and a half year old son, librarian and part-time illustrator and mixed media artist. I also love writing and reading poetry, trading atc's, altering things, collecting paper and greeting cards, journaling, writing letters to random people and including a bit of art in and on the envelope, my witchy house and garden, cooking, sewing, knitting, and any other domestic goody yum yum pursuits...

To find out more about me, take a look at my blog: http://mistressdebrina.blogspot.com/

I like ALL colours

Yes, that's right. Hopefully that's a refreshing thing to anybody who becomes my swap partner(s). However, if push came to shove, then:

Antique cream, rose, red, burnt umber, gold, copper green, turquoise, rust and black.

Things I love

Owls, puffins, trees, stormy nights, old school goth, old ships, sea-faring stories, light-houses, the sea and sea-life, Victoriana, Edward Gorey, fairies, angels, insects, autumn, mazes, elephant figurines, doodle art, Charles Darwin, biology, nature, museums, children's illustrations, the 1970s, big old rambling houses, herbal lore, leaves, pressed flowers, books, reading, writing, poetry, knitting, sewing, cooking, crocheting. Artists I love: Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau, Peter Sis, Picasso and Frida Khalo.

Things I like to swap

Paper, pens, pencils, stationery, buttons, collages, beads, erasers, miniatures, fabric scraps, wool, felt, threads, ephemera, trading cards, postcards, old photos, mail art, greeting cards, wrapping paper, craft tools, soft dolls, scrapbooking, stickers, atcs, things that smell nice, books, paintings, maritime stuff, history, nature, journaling, drawing, poetry, writing, pottery, recipes, drawings, doodles.

When you swap with me...

Please either keep it sophisticated, kitsch or kookie - no cutsie, cutsie, babyish stuff.

I am on swap bot to have FUN, so I go out of my way not to be too specific and anal about what I want. I only ask that you pay attention to detail. Eg., I'm a big fan of atc's, just please don't slap a sticker on an atc card and call it "done!". Anything you make by hand I will always appreciate ten times more than any commercially produced item, so long as it is made with care.

On the flip side, when you receive something from me I can assure you that I have put a lot of thought and care into it.

Comment: Thank you so very much for the lovely postcard! It was a beautiful poem the one you sent me; I really like, since I also love reading books. Oh, and I loved the way you wrapped the PC, and the stamp! Thank you very much, Debbie :)
Response: I know - it really is a delicious poem. Absolutely gorgeous. And, as I'm a librarian and obviously a book lover, it is very fitting indeed. So nice that you love reading too!!
