[fancybutch]

I claim Oath Keeper for foxes.

5th claim, 3 done but 0 sent, 0 received

Yay! I am happy to be returning to the ATC swap.
My name's Robin, and I live in fabulous multicultural urban downtown Toronto, Canada, with the two cuddliest cats in the world.  I am privileged to work in the labour movement, so my day job is time consuming and stressful and awesome, and I use arts and crafts as my therapy and happy quiet time.

I like things that are unique, interesting, silly, or edgy or sophisticated,  and mostly I just want to see what you dream up and make.  I'm ok with profanity, sexuality, politics, just nothing disrespectful or hateful of other people.

Here's the list of themes I threw together for this month:

Robots
altered photograph
silkscreen/linocut/etching
tiny quilt atc
The Hobbit
tattoos
Sons of Anarchy (tv series)
winter 
Diego Rivera
animals  in clothes – gentleman style
raccoons
pixelated

Happy craftin!

I live in St. Louis, MO.  I love crafting, mainly with paper but dabble in other mediums.  I love the outdoors, gardening, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I prefer no curse words, nothing gory,  and NO glitter.  Glitter glue is okay as it doesn’t flake; our household is a glitter free space, you don’t want me to get in trouble lol.

My themes:
 
trees

burlesque

Dandelions

I CLAIM CABAUTE FOR SKULLS!

(1,0,0)

Hello! My name is Alynna. I'm 22. I live in Orlando, FL. I've been dying to get some crafting out of my system and I think ATCs are the cure. I love warm, bohemian hues. Mustard yellow is my favorite color. I dislike neon colors and typically anything very girly or sparkly isn't my style...
Usually the weirder, the better.

My List

-   Normal bodies with inanimate object heads
   
-   Animals wearing clothes (Fancy clothes are always the best. Who doesn't love a dapper deer?)

-   Random words plus random picture (example: a picture of a television, with the word “Patience” beneath it)
     
-   Wes Anderson movies

-   Monsters, and goblins, and ghouls, and cyclopes, and trolls, and aliens, and any weird creatures that exist only in your mind

-   Surreal collages

- Whimsical and Vintage (I love 1920s fashion, French posters, and children's book illustrations)     

- Retro and Bohemian ( I love pyschedelic art, nature inspired art, and the overall aesthetics of the 60s and 70s.
