Pikapost

I am a mail enthusiast. I love beautiful letters, mail art, postcards and anything creative that arrives in the post!

I am amazed by the amount of creativity of others and like to swap to see all the amazing things people create. I treat swapping like it is a gift for someone. I want everything I send to bring joy and will spend time and effort to make sure my mail will be happy mail!

Themes that I am inspired by: Birds, Curiosities, Nature, Abstract Art and Creative Photography.

Colors I gravitate towards: Lime green, teal, peacock blue, raspberry and silver.

I love anything handmade and value it way more that store bought items. Please feel free to be as creative as you like and feel free to mail me anything edgy (I'm hard to offend).

If you do not get something from, please PM or email me before rating. I will ALWAYS send. If you have not gotten something, it has been lost. Please let me know and I will be glad to re-send.

Anything related to paper! I love mail art, digital photography, multimedia collage, pen and watercolor, and art journaling. I also love collaborative projects, making journals and books and making planner accessories.

I love lots of book genres but I've been very into short story collections, magical realism novels and historical fiction this past year, Some of my favorite books are, The Snow Child, Vampires in the Lemon Grove, Swamplandia and Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Please send some great book recommendations, I love to read new things.

I appreciate movies that surprise me, make me laugh or think. I love everything Hayao Miyazaki, Wes Anderson and the Cohen brothers have ever made. My favorite movies: I Heart Huckabees, Spirited Away, Eternal Sunshine For the Spotless Mind, Royal Tenenbaums and Oh brother Where Art Thou. I also have a great love for zombie films!

I have recently caught the planner bug. I got an incredible deal on a new fuchsia A5 original filofax and my inner 13 year old sqwees with delight every time I use it. I layer in my planner. I've created my own inserts and use it in part for organization and in part a diary. I punch lots of things and keep them in my dailies: tickets, photos, postcards, notes, creative ideas etc...

I am always looking for things to help me layer or record my day. I love unique fun paperclips, small emotive stickers (I LOVE Korean diary stickers), small unique post-it notes/flags, THIN cute washi tape (why don't they make more of this?), and decorative envelopes to keep things in. I like things that are "girly", shiny and colorful.
