About Me

Hi! I'm Lisa from San Jose, CA.

I'm 57 years old. I married for the 2nd time 9 years ago. My first husband died in a scuba diving accident in 2004. I have 2 beautiful daughters, ages 19 and 23. We have 3 people loving, hilarious Cornish Rex cats.

I ran across swap-bot while searching for ATC swaps after making my first ATC in 2010.

I recently returned to swap-bot after being inactive for a while. I loved swapping, but when I decided to take a break for the holidays in 2012 it became a 4 year hiatus! I've jumped back in by joining a couple of mail-art swaps. I'm hooked again! Creating something with specific guidelines is a lot of fun and challenges me to go in directions I might not have thought about otherwise. Deadlines pull me out of the occaisonal creative slump.

The last 4 years have included an empty nest, a major move, and lots of art exploration. A stubborn hindrance to my growth as an artist is the grating voice of my nasty inner critic. She refuses to die after many attempts to silence her.

We are currently going through a hellish home renovation. Looks like our 4 month project will take nearly a year! My art room is my refuge.

Favorite Crafts

Likes

Colors-I tend to be attracted to jewel tones and saturated colors. One favorite combo is Turquoise and Red. But send my any and all colors.

Handmade papers

Birds

Items with Scripture

Ephemera- science, blueprints, textbook illustrations, maps, stamps, etc

Vintage magazines

Mid-Century Modern

anything you love to create!

Favorite Music

I sometimes listen to music while creating, but not always. I like so many genres of music. Hip Hop and Rap don't usually interest me.

As I've grown as a follower of Christ, I have purged my iTunes of most "explicit lyrics". 🙉

Favorites on my music playlist might include:

Tears for Fears- Talking Heads- Andrew Bird- Arcade Fire- Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry- Eric Clapton- Johnny Cash- St. Vincent- Adele- Beck- Collective Soul-

Favorite Television

I sometimes watch TV while creating.

Current favorite shows include:

The Walking Dead- Limitless (I hear it's cancelled!)- House of Cards- Mr. Robot- The Blacklist-

~Looks like I need to find me some good comedy!

Dislikes

Please don't send:

Satanic or Hardcore Occult related stuff - (zombies and scary/fun stuff are welcome!)

Profanity

Anything that suggests ill will toward any group or set of beliefs

Comment: Love your wild Exquisite Corpse! Thank you for a great creation & for the explanation of elements & techniques used.. Your mail art envie was a treat in itself & I appreciate your thoughtfulness in including the extra used postage. ( I'd been wishing for a Carmen Miranda stamp to use in an efuto design!) Glad you like my work posted on Flckr. I'm waaaaay behind in posting updates

Comment: Thanks for the King Kong PC. I'm sure my son will "nab" it for his collection. :-) Also, thanks for the nice note. The Great Divorce is one of my favorite CS Lewis--though I love everything he writes. It's probably not a challenging read--it's what it calls us to do that is beyond difficult!

Thank you SO MUCH for the awesome "hostess" rolo for the Same Supplies swap! I'm sorry it's taken a while for me to post a "thank you".... it's been sitting here on the end table next to love seat ever since it got here. I love, love, love the tiny little thermometer that you put on it - so cool! Thanks for joining my swap!

I just love your profile--you seem like the kind of person I would like to just sit down and talk to. I happened to read your profile because of your post on the match.com thread. I hope we end up swapping someday! (Also--I love the cracked glass ATC you have on Flickr!)
