About Me

I enjoy connecting to people around the globe through the postal system and mail art. I collect postage stamps, bus and train tickets, and other ephemeral bits of everyday life.

I should spend more time outside, so I'm off to swim, or just float and watch the clouds. (gif by L. Boglio)

Favorite Music

Some favorite artists: Miriam Makeba, Keith Jarrett, Chopin, Dave Brubeck Thank You, Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Bach, Baguette Quartette, Rupa and the April Fishes, Beethoven, Tango No. 9, Vince Guaraldi, Andres Segovia, Allman Brothers, Camille, Sanjay Divecha, Lyle Lovett, Decemberists, Carolina Chocolate Drops

Some things I like

The circus, magic, and parades; Carnival; gypsy/bohemian style and steampunk; Commedia dell'arte; court jesters; Cirque du Soleil; Pierrot and Pierette; Totoro; the Ministry of Silly Walks; old ledger pages; kraft and handmade paper; Instax, logarithmic spirals; travel, maps, and aerogrammes; line engraved postage stamps and woodcuts; galaxies and gardens; linen; zines; typewriters and writing letters, typography and the end pages of books where they explain the typeface; playing piano and accordions; the smells of gasoline, saw dust, fiberglass resin, gardenias, sweet peas, and honeysuckle. Plague Doctors. Coffee and collage. Choco Tacos and It's It. A bookworm, I enjoy literary fiction, sci fi, historical fiction, history, and I'm exploring poetry.

Comment: Thank you for the stamps. I'm waiting for spring because I hate winter (too much rain, cold and grey sky). Daffodils grow in my garden and birds come again. Have a very beautiful spring for your garden with flowers

Comment: I received your card today. Thank you so much. I really like it. I have tried to carve in the past but it wasn’t my thing. I have some stuff still and every once a while I think about giving it another try but my eyes on as good as they used to be so they probably won’t ever happen.

I loved reading about how you made these 2 prints you sent with your own stamps and paper. The cat one especially is so adorable and I will be framing it to use as home decor. Again, thank you bunches and have a happy 2025!

Dear Amy, a full Traveling Book card is on its way back home to you!

OMGosh I love your Pomegranate Post zine with the mix of handcarved stamps and postage stamps. Impressive work and such a lovely thank you gift. The envelope is well done too.

I quite enjoyed hosting the HCSI MAJ swaps.

I will continue to host the Stamp & Pass swaps to continue the collective fun, but in a smaller format.

Thank you for finishing my HCSI MAJ deco and mailing it back to me. You were so generous to to send a print (on handmade paper) of the whole stamp you used for your page and the postage stamps that inspired it. Beautiful work! P.S. I also really like the envelope.
