About Me

Address info: when writing the number 7 in my address by hand, please add a horizontal line in the middle. Without the line sometimes the posties here can mistake it as a 1.

-SPOILER- I post pictures of recent swaps on Instagram. Usually shortly before or after I send it off. Flickr won't be updated. -SPOILER-

I've always liked to receive letters. And I also like the idea of random act of kindness. Swap-bot seems to be the connection of both things. :) These days I enjoy creating mail art like postcards.

Favorite Crafts

I try to do a lot of things. After a while I always have to try something new. Things I've done: Pocket Letters, Zentangling...

Latest interests are handmade postcards (never getting old), decorated envelopes and InkBox cards (7,6 x 7,6 cm).

  • Working with paper (collages)
  • Watercolour (my latest craft)
  • Acrylic painting with youtube tutorials
  • Some sewing (mostly on paper these days)
  • Crocheting / Knitting (abandoned)

Favorite Music

Alternative, Indie, Garage, a bit Folk, 50s Rock'n'Roll/Rockabilly...

To name a few (often changing): Temples, Kasabian, Katzenjammer, Florence + the Machine, Hot Boogie Chillun, Public Service Broadcasting, Wanda, Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Måneskin...

And I would be glad if you could recommend me something.

Favorite Television

I'm not a movie fan, instead I love TV Series even more!

Pushing Daisies, Sherlock, White Collar, Grimm, Rizzoli & Isles, Death in Paradise, Father Brown, Doctor Who, Burn Notice, Chuck, Warehouse 13, Perception, Agatha Raisin...

Lately I'm starting in classic series: The Avengers (Peel & Steed!), The Persuaders!...

Some ideas for sending: ~I don't collect anything but I like surprises!~

big postage stamps with heads (for creating postage people) - collage material - black & white pictures (collage material) - fabric - handmade things - "consumable" things for crafting e.g. paper, vintage paper, washi, ephemera... everything that I could use for creating mail art (as I don't have enough space for dust traps :)) (or just ask)

I don't like

planner stickers - dogs - Disney - Emojis - something with vanilla or sweet fragrance - Manga - off-season Christmas (I'm starting slowly to care about one month before, at the earliest) also not overly excited about Halloween

Tea

Teas I love: green (plain or + herbs...) - white - herbal - with lemon and ginger - fresh tastes in general ... (no matter if it comes in bags or if it's loose- as long as it's sealed)

I'd like to try again: Four O'clock - Green tea with rose

Teas I don't like: all fruity or sweet teas (apple, hibiscus, rose hip, berries...) - vanilla - black tea - cinnamon - instand tea - honey - something with vanilla or sweet fragrance

Comment: Amazing Wacken stamp! And I like the creepy card you made, reminds me a bit of synchronised swimmers that wear too much make-up.
Response: Haha, yes synchronised swimmers, that's fitting. I've a second (different) Wacken stamp. I will try to remember to use it the next time.

Comment: Thanks for your postcards which arrived today. Like you, I tend to prefer a "less is more" approach, but you managed to combine a multiplicity of elements that worked together, within a color scheme.that tied them all together. I love the dude with the virtual reality goggles!
Response: The man with the googles is so hilarious, right? And the truth isn't too different from this old image. Thank you!

Comment: Monique, thank you for the beautiful collaged face! I absolutely love it! I had to look twice to see that it wasn't the same hair. The hair and the eyes are seamless. Wow! I'm really impressed. And I love how she's holding the lower part of her face up with her hand. I really like this. Thank you very much!
Response: My pleasure, thank you! I'm glad that you also like the perfectly fitting pieces. I'm wondering if I could recreate it with different images some day,,,

Comment: Two in one package, oops! I didn't open the sleeve. So, thank you for the teapot PC for THIS swap, and the birds and polka dots one for the napkin swap. Are they quail? Still not bored with your hmpcs. 💌
Response: Haha, no problem. Next time I will put a hint onto the first card. :) The birds are Common pheasants. Sometimes I see some of them.
