Hello!

Canada Post is on strike as of the morning of Friday November 15, 2024. I have 9 swaps on my dashboard that will likely be affected, and I have dropped from any swap for which partners were not assigned yesterday just in case. I should have dropped one more the day before, but I worked a 16 hour shift and wasn't thinking about anything but work and sleep. If you didn't get an email, this might be why your package hasn't arrived. I hope you can be patient!

                      πŸ’Œ Thank you πŸ’Œ

I am nemophilist living on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

I am keen to swap handmade postcards, artist trading cards, artist trading coins, 3x3s, inchies, twinchies, flipbooks, folders, pockets and other themed paper crafts and collages."

I love rich, opulent colours and metallics. I use a lot of gelli printing in crafts and I love making layered mixed media projects of all kinds, but particularly if there is an added theme or creative challenge.

Important to me

I am an ally of the environment, equality, and anyone who identifies as one from the LGBTQ2+ community - trans rights are human rights. I am VERY passionate about the right to women's reproductive health and the right to reproductive choice, and I am an ally of all First Nation communities whose land I am grateful to live, work, play, and craft on.

If the swap does not require me to read your profile, I likely won't. I always send "extras" because I'm sending the swap envelope and I like adding extra cards or handmade tags if it fits in with the postage. I will not follow dictations of what should have been or not have been in your envelope beyond the specific swap rules from the swap coordinator. Ratings shouldn't reflect anything more than what is required for that swap and not based on extras included (re: one of my 3 ratings). I am here at swap-bot to get this plethora of craft energy and all these millions of little paper crafts I make out and new ideas and creative learning in. Please take care and focus on your crafts.

SOME IMAGES/THEMES I ENJOY:

  • skulls, bones, and anatomy

  • flora and fauna - leaves, trees, forest creatures

  • suns, moon, stars

  • bats, birds, butterflies, bugs, insects, and arachnids of all kinds, but especially the beetle and spider species

  • vintage, victorian, and gothic themes and images

  • mythical creatures, fairies, gnomes, magical beings......

  • elements and elemental correspondences

  • travel/exploration

Prague (and Cesky Krumlov) CZ should be on everyone's bucket list!

  • First Nation's and Inuit art and themes (Coast Salish art below)

  • themes from the ocean, the sky, and space

HALLOWE'EN everything all the time

ANYTHING HANDMADE BY YOU

I would very much prefer to receive a partially destroyed or water damaged package than an envelope completely covered in packing tape. I can reuse the paper easier without the tape too. Thank you!

Comment: Love what you did! I’ve been doing these with fewer pieces (where the hours searching and lining items up is not obvious) but you have inspired me. Totally agree on fussy cutting being normally relaxing. I like cutting a second sheet at the same time which produces a lovely abstract pieces.

Comment: Thank you, Helene. Nice card despite the oversize. I always prefer the 4 x 6 size because all my storage is geared to fit those. Happy Thanksgiving!

THANK YOU for returning my CS: Collaboration PC that was started in Round 13! That is the fastest one has ever come home to me. I really appreciate all of the finishing touches you placed on the card - the pain pen makes all of the difference!

Thank you so much for finishing and sending home my Pass & Paste ATC. It's the first P&P PC that's come home. It turned out so well. And I love that you used your collage ATC as a notecard. πŸ€—

My P&P PC came home. Thank you for contributing to it. πŸ€— I like how you also used stripes as a background and continued a nature theme.
