About Me

Artist (mail art, collage, altered books), photographer, traveler. Live in a Victorian house in San Francisco. Married with a 21 year old son. Likes: stationary old letters cancelled stamps old maps old recipe cards, written or typed your favorite recipe menus mix cd's Mr Zip

Please, nothing religious.

Favorite Music

I love Rupa and the April Fishes, Over The Rhine, Van Morrison, Zap Mama, Amy Winehouse, Les Nubians, lots and lots of jazz and I love opera! Verdi is my favorite opera composer.

Favorite Crafts

I make artist/altered books, collages, journals, handmade envelopes and I love playing with paper. I am an artist/photographer by profession. Work P/T for a newspaper and freelance.

Likes

I love food postcards -- specialities of various places are interesting to me, e.g. Maine lobster or Pastrami from NYC...but am happy with any and all mail. I collect old recipe boxes and recipe cards and old letters, handwritten or typed. I prefer old stuff - letters, papers, maps, etc rather than new. I don't like "cute" stuff. Please, no candy.

Things I like

Recipes, old recipe cards, vintage photos and snapshots( especially bride & groom photos, class pix, first communion pix), old flyers and paper, old letters and envelopes, pages from old books, handmade envelopes, cancelled stamps, notebooks, old maps, old Baedeker guides (especially France, Japan or Italy), postcards with local foods or recipes, old playing cards or game cards, anything French (especially old).......

Comment: This was a huge rather than little package of postal pleasantry! Thank you so much for all the thoughtful inclusions. Vintage postcards and labels are always fun, and it was interesting to see the pages from the picture books; but my favourite item was your mail box notecard - a fascinating photograph (I'd love to see others in the series) and beautifully presented. Thank you again. :)
Response: Thanks very much. So glad it arrived and you enjoyed it. I will send you a postcard of the mailbox series.

Welcome to the Creative Correspondence group!!

Koningskind on Sep 4, 2010:

Hi pamela,

Yep, we really love the same 'Over the Rhine'. They were in The Netherlands at Flevo-festival (a christian music-festival ) many years ago and there we bought an album. I was really surprised to read you love this band to because in The Netherlands they are almost unknown.

Bye bye, Marleen

Hello and welcome to swap-bot. I've had such a fun time on the site--and have received so many wonderful postcards (my primary reason for joining). I love art and mixed media collages - I wish I felt confident making them, but I do not. I think they are amazing.

Have you been watching the new season of The Closer? I've been watching it irregularly. I forgot to program my DVR, and I forget to tune in.

Best, Aimee

Hi Pamela, thank you for your book indications, the picture of baby humming bird was wonderful! Do not forget to rate me back in our Swap, if you have any doubt how swap-bot rate systems runs please I could help you, ok? I see you not completed this Swap yet, if you have any doubts you can send me a private message, just let me know.

Hi Pamela,

How special to meet another 'Over the Rine'- lover on the internet. I lover their music so much. Mail-art is one of the crafts I don't know. I think i need to get informed on the internet te learn more about it. New crafts are always triggering me to try.

Enjoy swapping!

These days I saw a grat book about mail art on Amzon and I hope I can buy next month, do you know some good mail art or journaling books that you can recommend to me? You are new in Swap bot but I´m a complete dummie when I try to do mail art. here in Brazil we do not have good books about this subject, kind Regards from Brazil!
