About Me

I enjoy connecting to people around the globe through the postal system and mail art. I collect postage stamps, bus and train tickets, and other ephemeral bits of everyday life.

I should spend more time outside, so I'm off to swim, or just float and watch the clouds. (gif by L. Boglio)

Favorite Music

Some favorite artists: Miriam Makeba, Keith Jarrett, Chopin, Dave Brubeck Thank You, Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Bach, Baguette Quartette, Rupa and the April Fishes, Beethoven, Tango No. 9, Vince Guaraldi, Andres Segovia, Allman Brothers, Camille, Sanjay Divecha, Lyle Lovett, Decemberists, Carolina Chocolate Drops

Some things I like

The circus, magic, and parades; Carnival; gypsy/bohemian style and steampunk; Commedia dell'arte; court jesters; Cirque du Soleil; Pierrot and Pierette; Totoro; the Ministry of Silly Walks; old ledger pages; kraft and handmade paper; Instax, logarithmic spirals; travel, maps, and aerogrammes; line engraved postage stamps and woodcuts; galaxies and gardens; linen; zines; typewriters and writing letters, typography and the end pages of books where they explain the typeface; playing piano and accordions; the smells of gasoline, saw dust, fiberglass resin, gardenias, sweet peas, and honeysuckle. Plague Doctors. Coffee and collage. Choco Tacos and It's It. A bookworm, I enjoy literary fiction, sci fi, historical fiction, history, and I'm exploring poetry.

Comment: Thank you. I've read to Kill a mocking bird some years ago. I don't remember the year, but it was before I started tracking my readings in 2013. In 2015 I read Go set a Watchman and liked it a lot too.

Your full Traveling book card is on its way back home to you 😊 I was unsure if I should send it home because there's a bit space on the bottom, but here the mail requires this space to print a destination barcode with fluorescent ink so machines can sort the mail automatically. So I decided to send it back to you.

OMGosh I love your Pomegranate Post zine with the mix of handcarved stamps and postage stamps. Impressive work and such a lovely thank you gift. The envelope is well done too.

I quite enjoyed hosting the HCSI MAJ swaps.

I will continue to host the Stamp & Pass swaps to continue the collective fun, but in a smaller format.

Thank you for finishing my HCSI MAJ deco and mailing it back to me. You were so generous to to send a print (on handmade paper) of the whole stamp you used for your page and the postage stamps that inspired it. Beautiful work! P.S. I also really like the envelope.
