bearswearinglotusflowers

Just a person who enjoys the arts and the process of making things. I enjoy painting, drawing, sculpting, and many other hobbies such as flower pressing and book-binding. I enjoy creating art surrounding fashion, animals, and occasional landscapes. Food is a big motivator for me.

When I'm not making some sort of visual art or craft, I enjoy sewing, reading, writing, and researching random topics.

I joined SwapBot as I enjoy making and sharing art, and I would like to collect more art from around the world. I also have an affinity for the topic of mail itself :]

As a sender * I try to put a bunch of effort into my swaps! If you are receiving from me, expect some handwritten notes, I think it makes swaps more special! * I tend to prepare swaps quickly, so I will always send on time! * If I have sent something out, please let me know if it's been a bit of time before you have received it. (Around a month for domestic swaps and 1.5 months for international swaps)

As a receiver * Please check above for swap dislikes for non-sender's choice swaps or if you are planning to add extras (extras will not affect my rating). * I rate the same day or the next day after receiving your swap :]
