I have about ten 1s, all back from 2007, when I was dealing with the loss of my mother and overcommitted. Crafting certainly helped me with my grief, but crafting on a deadline clearly wasn't for me.

If I flaked on you back then and you're still active on swapbot, send me a message and we'll sort something out ASAP.

Favorite Crafts

  • Mixed media collage, paper arts (eg, bookmaking, altered books and ATCs)

  • I've basic skills at papermaking, embroidery, beading, sewing, knitting, and kumihimo.

  • I do not crochet, quilt, or work with clay (eg, Sculpty)

  • I love things that inspire creativity (eg, Sark, The Artist's Way). I have a subscription to Cloth Paper Scissors and Somerset Studio and enjoy reading other Stampington publications, Craft, Make, and ReadyMade.

About Me

In no particular order:

  • Thirty-something self-taught artist

  • Married for eight years as of April. In our dreams, we'll be living on a houseboat in ten years, traveling to art festivals and sharing margaritas.

  • I'm co-parenting two rescue cats (Ripley and Zim), a terrier (Yoda), a pit bull I literally scooped off the streets (Lola) and my teenage brother who loves skateboarding.

  • The furthest west I've ever been is Arkansas and the furthest east Austria. I've lived in the North of England and several US states (Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida).

  • I own an iPod and a linoleum knife. I know how to make my own paper and beer. I took French language classes for more than five years, but I'm only fluent in computer languages (HTML, CSS, PHP).

  • I believe the Intarweb is BOTH a series of tubes and made for cats.

  • I make kick-ass guacamole and pierogi.

  • I've gotten a paycheck or volunteered at the following places: Habitat for Humanity, a variety of museums and art centers, a fruit stand, a free bookstore, and a leather shop.

Comment: Thanks for the postcard. I love Fallingwater and the question is well connected to not only the picture, but my current dilemma of city/country living.
