Married, my husband and I are pescatarians (eat only fish and veggies), I love to travel US and Europe (finally made it to Australia and now am in love with aborignal dot paintings!), love time at the ocean or in a forest.

*** SPECIAL PROJECT REQUEST ***

I'm currently working on a new book project and need IMAGES OF BEES preferably magazine images because I'm doing image transfers with them and that seems to work best. Color would be fab. Or vintage images would also be helpful.

🐝

*** THANKS! ***

Mixed Media, handdrawn art, Art journaling, ATCs and anything I can make by hand.

I love doing hand-drawn art with Sakura Pigma Micron pens (#02,#03,#05) and then using watercolor to add color to the drawings.

Gelli prints are also a fun addiction:)

MAKES ME HAPPY

♡♡♡ OBSESSIONS ♡♡♡

-- BOHO All things bohemian gypsy, obsessed with leather fringe and feathers, mehndi designs, paisley, mandalas

--WASHI TAPE!!!

--Anything hand-drawn or painted

--Poppies, Dahlias, Lily of the Valley

--Color: Green (Green-Gold, Lime Green, Grass Green)

--VINTAGE snapshot photos (not the fancy studio-posed ones) just snapshots of people in the past, ESPECIALLY those posing with their pets

--Religious Items: Catholic prayer cards, rosaries (can be broken or in pieces), saint medallions, prayer books (or pages from), madonna pictures (NOT the singer please:), photocopies of Bible page that has the verse from John 3:16 (New Testament) on it (please don't rip the page out of a perfectly good Bible)

--Cupie dolls

--VINTAGE ephemera scraps Love old receipts, legal documentation on specialty papers like onion skin or parchment (don't need the whole thing, sample pieces are great for collage), old stubs or tickets, old envelopes (discolored ok), old book end pages, labels, stickers, instructions or assembly diagrams, foreign language book pages, engraved book illustrations, used postage.

--LACE/TRIM scraps Don't need a bunch and can work with little bits you'd probably throw out (3" or smaller). I've joined a FaceBook group LITTLE OLD LADIES WITH ATTITUDE (LOLA) and we make tiny dolls and the scraps are perfect for thier dresses and collars and even hair ornamentation:) DO NOT NEED FABRIC, just the trims.

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS I love getting foreign mailing/stationery envelopes, not the fancy kind, just your everyday ordinary envelope and if you throw in an extra postage stamp (can be used or new) from your country that would make a great goody for me:) THANKS:)***
