7th claim, 5 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'm Cindy and I live in Alberta, Canada.  I love bright colors, except baby blue and mint green, and I don't like profanity, nudity or gore (think family friendly.)  I've decided I want to start an alphabet ATC collection so that's what my list will mainly be for now.  If you want to use the ____ is for ____ style that's fine or just use the letter you pick along with something to represent it.

My themes:

The letter X
The letter W
The letter V
The letter U
The letter S
The letter Q
The letter P
The letter N
The letter M

[Susie Apple]

I CLAIM HOMEROF2 FOR THE LETTER W!

(5,2,0)

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 http://thecinephiliac.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/movies_by_wes_anderson.jpg


-   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, children's book illustrations, vintage circuses, dandelions and mushrooms)     

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