I love to make handmade fodder.  Elements for use in mixed  media art.  I also like to watercolor paint & do challenges.

I like mystery supplies where I received elements from the host, & then make something to return to the host & my partner.  I especially love seeing photos of everyone in the swaps work....artist come up with really interesting takes on things!

I love advanced mixed media swaps that aren't too expensive to mail.

I started swapping by swapping commercial postcards, which quickly turned to handmade postcards. Then I got into 9o96o's ATC. After ATCs it was one-page folded into a mini zine, now I'm mostly into collaborative projects like pass & paste postcards and decos.


Researchers found that 45 minutes of creative activity significantly lessens stress in the body.

Artist Trading Cards or ATC's, I've been making them since I was about 14 and have quite the collection now. They are what got me into this hobby and they continue to be a wonderful thing to swap.

I used to crochet a lot and I was just recently introduced to making greeting cards and I must admit I am addicted now. We have a little group that comes together every two weeks and we make cards together, I enjoy that very much.

Ok. I was asked why no posts yet and what's my type of snail mail.

 I like exchanging handwritten letters, that could, eventually, lead to discussing serious topics, mabe even personal stuff. Now my idea when I joined was to work with my wife, where she would be the creative artist and I would be the "creative" writer. Contrary to what was expected, my wife is unable at this point to start the creating part. I love my wife, 38 years of marriage, so we do it together or we don't do it at all. Now, I don't mind exchanging handwritten letters, with no creative art. But this seems not to be the place for that. And it's perfectly ok. It's actually fantastic because you are a comunity of extremely talented people, and most importantly, you share your talent.

The sense of that "togetherness" is beautiful. Thank you 🫶
