I have been crafting my entire life, and have yet to find something I don't enjoy. I have made and sold many pieces of beaded jewelry, but has taken the back seat to paper crafts. I discovered junk journals in 2022 after my mother passed away, and I used it to get me through the grief and in the meantime found a connection with her in it. She was an excellent painter and professional artist most of her life, and whenever I create journals or deco books with botanical items, I feel the connection to her. She loved to paint nature and flowers, and throughout my life I learned to love them too. I retired in 2023, and now have plenty of time to feed my addiction to art! I currently belong to deco swapping groups outside of swap-bot and am looking to increase that here, as well as find other swaps I am interested in. Aside from art, I love music, playing the Elder Scrolls video game as "Guild Mom", and playing with my grandchildren. I try to teach them a love for art so their imaginations will take them the rest of the way.
I love classical, jazz, swing, big band, electronica, most pop, classic rock, blues and chill.
I don't read as much as I used to, but when I do it's definitely going to be either historical fiction or some young adult.
Science fiction, documentaries, crime drama, period drama (particularly 1700-early 1900's) and comedies.
I love almost every type of deco there is, but especially these: Botanical / Floral, Vintage (1950's and older), Medieval / Fantasy, Beautiful women - clothed or unclothed, Historical, Postage stamps, Butterflies and Birds
Original papers--eco dyed, hand painted, Stationary sheets for writing notes to swappers, Illustrations from old books, Music papers, Hand made washi tape
