I'm Maria, 33, from Greece. I live on a greek island and getting post/going to the post office is a pain. So please send via plain post and not something that needs me to sign to get it (since i always work in the mornings), unless the swap asks otherwise.

I work with refugees and immigrants in a camp and it is one of the most interesting things I've ever done. Intercultural and diverse environments make me feel alive!

I draw comics and illustrations and adore board games!

I enjoy direct arts and crafts, things that I can do with my hands! I'm pretty good with paper and similar crafts. Needle-work of any kind is like an alien to me! I love those stuff but I'm incapable of making them!

I'm an animal enthusiast (cats, big cats -tigers, leopards etc-), but I hate insects!

• Different flavours of tea. Fruits, herbs etc!
• Glass etching cream. I want to try it on glasses etc but don't know where to find it in Greece...
• Craft supplies (except buttons and yarns)
• Nose rings (small, shiny or figures)
• Earrings (not very long, silver)

Arts, crafts, fashion and fashion design are my passions! Also I'm a big sticker collector so I love stickers in any shape and form!

Fairies, Elves, fantasy world and mythical creature are my favorite themes.

Love black and white (photos, creations, fabrics), newspaper patterns, Renaissance Art, Leonardo Da Vinci

Fav colors: Purple, Pink, Black, Orange, Silver, Gold and White/cream

I don't like religious propaganda... But when religion is used for art is great! I hate racists, people that say bad things about my country, family and civilization (who doesn't hate it?)

no licorice stuff, no mint

Have too many, don't need more:

• Paper scraps smaller than 10x10cm (have too many)
• FBs (no use)
• Pencils (don't use them)
• Confetti (don't use them)

I love travelling and I like getting my own souvenirs and only from places I've visited.

I'm in love with Paris and France in general... Also Iceland, Middle East countries and Africa!

I'm into new languages but if you send sth with instructions in your language, plz take the time to expain even briefly how to use it!

I can draw, sketch (comic type), make fashion design, cut&glue things, decorate envelopes and stationary... I'm also pretty good with graphic design (real n digital) and photo editing.

I love to receive things that are new to me... Japanese crafts, knitting or things that have to do with fabrics and needles. I'm useless with knitting and sewing...

I lately love postcards! But not touristic ones. Illustrations, pictures, graphics, funny, black and white, arts etc. Unwritten for my collection unless I sign up for a swap with naked postcards!
