About Me

Important News! *****!!!!****** OCTOBER & NOVEMBER 2023 !!!!! ***** I went traveling for a couple of months! I planned carefully so that all my swaps were sent out before I left, but I totally did not think about needing to rate in a timely manner! So sorry to be so inconsiderate!!! Please be assured, I will opening and rating everything immediately upon my return home in early December. If you need a rating before then, please send me a message and I will ask my partner at home to help and we will figure it out. Again, my apologies!!

I love collecting stickers,and I discovered swap-bot in my quest for sticker swaps.

I appreciate receiving:

Quality stickers

Stationery of all kinds (letter sets, notecards, postcards, etc.)

Paper-crafting paper (scrapbook paper) & paper die cuts

Sticker bags, label bags

Cute paperclips

Unusual, genuine ephemera, especially old photos or Polaroids or used postcards

Witchy stuff (candles, incense, jewelry, etc.)

Occult literature, imagery

Fine art images

Interesting cut-out images from magazines

Your handmade whatever or original art or ATC

Unused postage

Cute little envelopes, cute big envelopes..

High-quality art supplies (open stock - where you just pick one item instead of getting the whole set - is great! It's usually pretty cheap and I'd love to see what color you pick for me! I love color!) Especially appreciated: Caran D'ache water-soluable crayons.

Pens: kaweco sport, lePen, Papermate Flair also mildliners.

Paint chips

PANTONE

Sexy NSFW (as opposed to violent NSFW) - pin-ups, pasties, she-devils, etc.

Halloween all year!

Pagan stuff, especially seasonal or goddess-related.

Externally, I am cheerful and optimistic. But on the inside, I am witchy, goth, emo, punk, and generally oppositional. However, I am not into horror, ugliness, or cynicism.

Favorite themes, in general: Nature, Forest Animals, Cats, Animals, Celestial, Space, Food, Kawaii, Witchy, Fairy, and Fantasy.

Favorite Sticker Brands: MindWave, Nekoni, and Kamio, Stickii, Mrs Grossman, Violette, Paperhouse, StickerKing, Sticko, and Sandylion. Off-brand is cool, too. I like scratch-n-sniff. I like washi stickers. They're great for decorating envelopes and they're so inexpensive and varied.

Not really into most puffy, 3-d, planner, reward, motivational quote stickers, or Lisa Frank.

I just discovered Kirimi chan from Sanrio. Amazing. There aren't a lot of Kirimi stickers out there, but if you wanted to share any, I'd be thrilled.

Also: sexy witchy, pastel goth, Sumikko Gurashi (favorite is Yama), Rilakkuma (& Korillakuma!), and anything related to the moon, astrology, astronauts, stars, etc., mermaid, unicorn, fairy, fox or bear, she-devil or cute demons, dragons, Alice in Wonderland, thistles, dandelions, pomegranates, or banana peels, please. Also Bigfoot and Godzilla. Oh, and anything Mt. Fuji!

I would also love ANY professional- quality art supplies you don't want. (Or unwanted items from Sketchbox or ArtSnacks boxes)

Pencil pouches and other cute storage devices are always welcome.

My favorite holiday is Halloween, followed by New Years, Groundhog's , and Valentine's... and not just chronologically... I'm also into pagan holidays, and full and new moons.

For pagan swaps, I'm more into Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, & Rome. Less into Celtic or Nordic stuff. All about Thelema. Some of my favorite goddesses are Lilith, Persephone, Venus, and Nuit. I'm into astrology and tarot. I'm totally into doing private swaps of spell kits or care packages that are goddess-, tarot-, or planetarily-themed! It seems like most of those groups are not active, so let's not let that stop us. ...

I can always use return address labels with my address:

Raven Koch 343 Linden St. Apt. 10 Brooklyn, NY 11237 USA

Or "Send To" labels, happy mail stickers, etc.

Favorite Music

Bahama Soul Club, Juju Orchestra, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, George Michael, Prince, Kesha

Favorite Books

Bastard Out of Carolina, The Importance of Being Earnest, Catcher in the Rye, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Stone Butch Blues

Favorite Television

What We Do in the Shadows, Strangers with Candy, Santa Clarita Diet, Baskets, Bored to Death, Colbert

Favorite Crafts

Fine art- drawing, ink, watercolor, print-making.

Ceremonial magick.

Yoga, meditation.

Hiking, nature, animals, and the beach!

Holistic healing arts.

The ABCs of Ravencita

A art, art supplies, animals, aleister crowley, Alice in Wonderland, astrology

B books, bookmarks, beach, bill murray. Bigfoot, botanical theme. Bees!

C caffeine, cookies, cats (I have a cat!), crocodiles, color

D darkness, dreams, dusk, dragons, die cuts.

E ephemera

F furies, fudge, fox

G goth. Godzilla. German expressionism. Goddesses

H harpies, heart sutra, humor

I ice cream, imagination, imagery

J jasmine, jung, j.d. salinger, john waters

K kawaii

L liber resh vel helios, LGBTIQ+

M moon, Minoan Crete

N nature

O opportunities, ocean, oxen

P possibilities, paper, pens, pin-ups, patterns, pirates, Pantone, pomegranate, paradox

Q quail, quince, questioning authority

R ravens, roses, ramen noodles, rosemary

S snakes, snacks, sexiness, science, stickers, sakura blossoms

T taurus

U unicorns, the unusual

V Vampira, vegetarianism, veganism

W witchcraft, where the WILD things are

X x-ray spex

Y yetis

Z (cute) zombies

Favorite Artists

Kiki Smith, Mickalene Thomas, Duchamp, Remedios Varo, Man Ray, Magritte, Miro, Martin Wong, Gina Beavers, Maxfield Parrish, Aubrey Beardsley, and Edward Gorey.

Inner Child Indulgences

Alice, the Mock Turtle, and the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, PINK PANTHER, Animal and Fozzie Bear from the Muppets, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake (vintage only), Charlie's Angels, Vampira, Addams Family, Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle, Hello Kitty (prefer vintage, primary colors Hello Kitty, but pastel is cool too), Mayo from Studio Fondue, Banao the Elite Banana, Wonder Woman, Catwoman.

Dislikes

I'm not into: sloths, llamas, monkeys, koalas, Spongebob, Family Guy, Peanuts characters, babies, inspirational/ motivational, "cute" misspellings, Disney, The Grateful Dead, tie-dye, psychedelic images, optical illusions, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, yarn, embroidery floss, fabric, etc.

I have plenty of book pages with plain text right now. Book pages with images are welcome.

Do not send: depictions of cruelty to animals, fascist materials, or loose glitter.

Swap Philosophy

I take all my commitments seriously, and make every effort to send things on time. So far, I have always succeeded. Should an emergency arise that would delay your swap, I promise to communicate in a prompt manner. I also promise to rate within 24 hours of receiving a swap. I mark swaps as sent immediately after sending. If you don't receive a swap, please let me know, and I will be happy to resend! I enjoy making swaps very much, and I don't mind putting together an extra one every now and again. The mail is wacky these days. Please accept my word in good faith that I sent the original when I did and rate accordingly. Your patience is appreciated and reciprocated!

Comment: Raven! What an absolutely amazing box! I am sorry for the delay replying. I got it last week, but had to go directly out of town. It is decorated so delightfully! I took some pics of the little grace notes you added here and there on the outside of the box. I haven't torn into any of the packages yet. I'm behind! :D But I don't have to to know this is an extra special swap. Thank you so much, and happy sp00ky season!
