4-16-10 Update: I will be taking a break from swapping. I have a personal medical issue to deal with and won't be able to swap for awhile.
I work for an ophthalomology medical clinic and have been with them for 10 years now. I am married to my wonderful hubby Jim (married 14 years but together for 20 years) and I have two furry children - my min pins, Ruby and Jewel. I am completely self taught with my art and have just started creating art after a VERY long artist's block. My new love is doing ATC's. You can visit my website above to see some of my work. My favorite subjects in art are fantasy and surrealism. Occasionally I will do realistic landscapes and animals. I am joining Atc clubs to expand my art and to challenge myself. I also, have discovered that creating ATC's is an addicting habit. I am a very honest and sincere person and I tend to be perfectionistic when it comes to the quality and effort put into my art. I am a very strong christian.
I love just about anything. I do NOT like rap OR whiny, twangy country music ( ie: such as Hank Williams Jr, ect). I do Not like death metal (the screaming type). Usually the more eccletic the music, the better. I listen to alot of trance/dance music and new age type music.
Love Science fiction and Fantasy books! Have lots of authors I like - Mercedes Lackey, Ben Bova, Isaac Asimov, Piers Anthony, Tara Harper, ect..... and the list goes on and on.
I love hand drawn/painted -traditional media Atc's. Experimental media and techniques would also be interesting, in the hand drawn genre. Fiber Atc's are cool too, especially hand felted ones or intricately stitched ones - But, I have no talent for making these types of Atc's. I also like polymer clay Atc's - again, I have NO talent in making these. I don't really care for the collage Atc's - not to say that there aren't beautifully done ones out there.
I love surprises :) I love items that you can tell the creator put in alot of time, effort, skill, and love making them. I have alot of respect for people who take pride in making quality items. I love horses, unicorns, pegasus, Alicorns, seahorses, ect.... Anything to do with equines. I love art supplies - anything to do with creating art. I love things with texture and lots of visual interest. I like handmade papers, Unique-handmade beads (no plastic ones please), salty foods or non sweet foods, home-made bread or any bread (not rye) for that matter, fantasy based (ie: dragons, faeries, ect) cards-store bought or handmade, like beeswax candles. Japanese Anime,
I do not like ART that is shabby and shows no thought or quality went into making it. Absolutely NO SPIDERS shudders!!! I do not like sweet things (food) not a big sweet fan. Not into sewing or crafting - so no cloth, yarn, thread, ect... No perfumes, soaps, lotions - have allergies. Essential oils are ok. No make-up. Natural lip balms are ok. I do not like anything to do with paganism, horror, sexually explicit subjects, witchcraft, satanism, blood and gore, racial discrimination, hate, and subjects dealing with homosexuality/ lesbianism (NOTE- this does NOT mean that I don't like gay people, I have friends who are gay). These include any type of art having to do with these types of themes. I do not like people who are dishonest, untrustworthy, and unsincere.
Upon receiving your trade I will promptly rate. I do expect my partners to rate as soon as they receive my trade. When I send out my trades I will PM my partner to let them know to expect it. If you are going to be late with a trade, I would appreciate you letting me know and keeping me updated.
I just put this here to keep track of the forum tags and such that I need to complete and that are owed.
None owed
