About Me

I am a 53-yr-old married mom of two (ages 19 & 21), who likes to dabble in art. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and publish a local quarterly zine called Minneapolis Observer Quarterly (MOQ), which was nominated for best new publication of 2006 in the Utne Independent Press Awards (but, alas, didn't win). You can take a look at it at http://www.mplsobserver.com.

SWAPS I HAVE HOSTED: Doodle ATCs, Yarn Remnants, Little Handmade Bag, Postcards-altered or created, Found on a Walk ATCs, and Postcards with Questions.

Favorite Crafts

Paper crafts of all kinds, including ATCs, paper art dolls, handstitched books and journals, and altered books. Knitting -- especially felting. I used to sew a lot (even owned an alterations shop for a few years), then got a bit burnt out on all that, but now am enjoying a little creative sewing again. I like to use natural fibers, found objects and items from nature.

Comment: I love all of the items. Surprisingly, I found myself reading the MOQ useful calendar that you used to package it in the most!! (you see, I grew up in Mankato.....so I miss this stuff...sometimes...when it's not winter, that is...)

Posted a comment about the Fair Trade poem on MOQ. Lovely, lovely poem, though even in its hopeful conclusion, sadness lingers.
