ColorInFusion

5-15-2013 - I am home and I have rated the swaps I received while I was away (thank you all). I will now take a break for a while for personal issues. I hope to be back swapping soon, although I will stick around and read forums and stuff.

I am a mixed media artist living in South Carolina. I met my husband on a private message board discussing the Elian Gonzalez story (the little boy who was coming to the US from Cuba and his mother died and there was a fight for custody). I have lived in Europe, Boston, Los Angeles, Florida before moving to South Carolina earlier this year. My good friend that I met on the same message board as my husband made my wedding dress, through the mail, we never met until 2 years later. She is a wonderful fiber artist. I am so lucky.

I have two dogs, Amber a toy poodle and Becky a 5 lb silky terrier. They are my babies.

I love doing all sorts of art, I have made many ATC's. I decorate old cigar boxes and make large paintings, I dye silk and make miniature quilts, beading, I can't even tell you how much stuff I have, I drive my husband crazy. I do photography as well. I love cooking too. I have been making a bunch of art dolls lately.

I have a massive DVD collection and I am open to all types of movies from Fried Green Tomatoes to Spiderman to Silence of the Lambs. I even one time got to go to a movie oremiere when I lived in Los Angeles.

I do no flake on swaps, if you have not received something from me and I have marked it sent, please contact me so I can resend. I will do the same for you. I always rate the same day I receive a swap and will hope that you will rate me as well. I really enjoy the community here as I live out in the country and don't get to see many people, especially other artists, so thank you all my fellow art swappers.

I am not in to cutesy things including stickers and Kawaii or any of the other stuff like that and it would be wasted on me. Please no candy (I don’t need it LOL), no coffee or tea (I don’t drink it). I am a silver and copper person, not that into yellow gold.
