About Me

Grandmother, gardener, artist, zine maker and calendar maker. My interests include nature and environmental concerns, history, folklore, world cultures, and art. I have two cats, one husband, two children and two grandsons (one age 8 years and the other 18!)

Colors

I prefer earth tones, especially various earthy greens and rust, muted pinks (not hot pink, though), and jewel tones like blue, purple and emerald.

I also like neutrals including black and white.

I'm not fond of neons or really bright colors, but if that's your thing, I'll be happy to see what you do with them.

Favorite Crafts

I love working with paper, especially scraps, magazine and catalog images, book pages, maps, packaging with attractive designs and such.

I collage, draw, paint with watercolor and gouache, use rubber stamps, and often combine two or more of those mediums.

I sell zines at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts and through my website. I make ATCs that I trade with a small local group. But I also enjoy sending and receiving creative mail, which is why I came back to Swap-bot recently, after many years away. (I couldn't remember my old username and password, so I'm just starting over with this profile.)

Comment: Wow… this blew my mind!! The theme “Secrets” can lead to so many interpretations, and yet this was yours?! I would have never come up with such a fascinating and historical kind of secret—what an epic story! I actually went “Whaaat?! This existed?!” while reading your zine. So cool. And the notecard — you picked it based on my profile, but the design itself (by Hilma af Klint!) ties in with the theme of mystery and hidden meaning. That detail made it feel like the whole envelope was one beautifully coordinated “Secret” package. Honestly, I was touched and impressed. Thank you for such a thoughtful and inspiring swap!
Response: Thanks so much! I had fun with it!
