About Me

I started calligraphy classes last February and after an avalanche of mail sent to my friends and family, I want to spread my wings and diversify ! :) I'm just starting, so please don't expect masterpieces yet... i'll get there eventually.

I love sending mail (and receiving it too !) (Do you remember the time we were "Meh..." about mail but so exited when we received an email?... I do and i CAN NOT believe i'm actually old enough to remember //and talk like my grandMa...// )

I'm a graphic designer by trade but I currently work as a communication director.

Get to know me :

Music (all kinds really), i love HipHop as much as IndyFolk, I grew up with classical music and had my teenage ska/funk/punk-rock period... I volunteer at an electro-music festival as well as a salsa/Cumbia one... So.. yeah. Music ! (Mostly live. I'm going to a lot of concerts live. Because i like to experience it as much as listening to it)

Art (obviously...) What is there to say... It speaks to the soul (or not... at all for some pieces!)

Screenprinting and Letterpress printing. I'm part of a "collectif" (a group of artists & creators idk how it's called in english) in my city to promote screen printing. We organise actions and demonstrations in the street or in festivals. I definitely geek out on oldschool/manual/Diy printing processes.

Food... What else... I mean, I'm French, what do you expect ?

Ski & badminton are my sports...

Favorite book... way too hard to choose but i'll say my top 3 authors are Douglas Coupland, JoseMaria de sa Moreira, Neil Gaiman

Favorite tvshow : Orphan black (such an amazing actress!)

Also I'm green... I'm one of those eco-minded people. I recycle, don't own a car, use renewable when available, ride my bike everywhere and generally try to reduce my carbon footprint... Though I'm no eco-warrior... I love shoes and stuff... So I try to manage my values with my real life... As one does...

So... I love mail but I'm not really into swapping "stuff" : i try to reduce my consumerism, though i'm sorry to say i haven't mastered that philosophy in the shoes department.. I'm a shoes hoarder.. (special closet for my "irregular choice" ones .... and if you did not know this brand before.... "you're welcome!")
All that to say : flat mail only for me ! (and international packages are getting expensive !)

If that helps : I'm mid-30(ish) / Live in Lyon / Love coffee / HAAAATE cinnamon / and i'm the Queen of fun facts... I have tons of random/weird factoids stored in my brain. (Like "where does this comes from, what's the origin of this usage, what's that called, how do you make that, etc.... ) I'm cool like that :/)

Comment: Thank you for this lllooonnnggg postcard. I like looking at it. The tones are moody, warm, Fall, unsettling... The way you wrote my address is BEAUTIFUL! Lyon looks beautiful to me.
Response: :-) You're welcome ! The cards makers around here are definitely trying to be different! (and I chose some of the "tamer" ones!) It's a beautiful city to live in (Unesco site and all...) Hope you get to visit one day! Cheers! H.

Comment: What a well made zine. Your calligraphy is great! You have a nice season planned. I read it to my Mom and she says I have to make the soup. I use a pressure cooker all the time. Even your envelope was nice I hung that up!
Response: Thanks! Yes my autumn is not gonna be boring, that's for sure! This soup is one of my go to... the spices make it so good ! and we call it a Velouté : 1) because we're french and we're fancy !... :-) 2) because of the texture... almost creamy (without creme) like a thicker soup (from velours = velvet) Anyway... Hope you like it ! I chose a vegan friendly one for you ! Cheers! H.

Comment: Hi Helene! This is cool but an ATC Artist Trading Card is 3.5" x 2.5" (you can google them for future swaps). Thank you for trying and I do like it even though it it huge. :) Glad you liked the Bukowski quotes.
Response: I know that now! I'm sorry for the mix up! I'll definitely do better next time! Thanks for being a good sport about it ! Cheers! H.

Comment: The envelope is so beautiful! You loaded the zine with lots of fall ideas. Thank you. Enjoy the season and stay healthy.
Response: Thanks! It was my first zine ever... I hope you have a great autumn! (In my mind every season looks awesome in Colorado, it's the place I'd like to visit the most in the US...! ) Cheers! H.

Comment: Wow, your postcard was stunning... when i saw it I cried! I love your calligraphy and the ballerina you drew is beautiful. Thank you so much for the passion you put in it, I hope to visit "la maison de la Danse" one day! Merciiii
Response: Ciao ! I'm glad you liked it so much! I love dance too, so I was glad to have a fellow admirer of the art of dance as a partner ! (though, I'm a spectator only ! I dance like a chicken with her head cut off!) Cheers! H.

Comment: I love your stories. I don't have a license yet, either, and I totally can relate how unnecessary it feels when public system works so well. I don't do photograph but I do enjoy sketching portraits. And I love cheese, too. ;)
Response: Thanks ! I can definitely be a blabbermouth, so I'm glad you like my stories! It's hard to list a series of random info about yourself without sounding like you're reading a tinder profile or grocery list ! Cheers! H.

Response: I'm glad you liked it! (I may have misunderstood the concept, I thought we had to explain about the cards, hence the lengthy mail...) But I'm glad I did, all the cards had meaning for me.Anyways.. Cheers! H.

Comment: Love the PC. The quotes are some of my favorites. We could be buddies! I was in the Paris airport on Sunday the 23rd, flying home from a Folk Festival in Zagreb. My dance group does 1800s Appalachian Clogging. I had so much fun in Zagreb. Maybe we'll meet at a festival sometime. Thank you, Ladyebug. PS Loved the lettering also.
Response: :) cool! I myself just got back from my summer music festival in Switzerland. I'm pumped up for the next 12 months ! So cool you got to visit Zaghreb, it's not that far all considered but I've never been... I'll have to change that soon!. Cheers, H.

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely quotes :) I really loved the postcard too. I wish I was able to visit Lyon when we went to Europe last Christmas. P.S. I love that you were obsessed with House Rules. I used to love that show :) Also is it alright if I write a letter back? :)
Response: You're very welcome and you can absolutely write back! Receiving mail is almost as awesome as an endless cheese plate.... and you bet i like my cheese! I would say have an awesome summer but we are opposite, right? so i guess have an awesome winter! (I can not imagine a winter where there isn't even the holidays to break up the dark and cold... Do you organise "christmas in july" events? I've seen it on a miss Fisher's murder mysteries' episode... Hun...What is it with me and australian TVshows?) Anyways... Cheers! H.

Thank you so much for the unassigned PC Roulette card! I love everything about it.

As for the middle-aged thing, I guess I just feel like I'm middle-aged because most of the people in my peer group are married and having kids, which seems like a quintessentially middle-aged thing to do.
