Hi,
I live with my 5 year old son and partner in the beautiful world heritage, Blue Mountains, two hours west of Sydney.
I am a bit of a crafty photographer type person.
I enjoy bushwalking. Love making things of the textile nature. Like making toys, clothes, books and taking photos.
What do I like? To get inspired, so what postcards will inspire me?
Art cards-
Printmaking, lino/woodblocks or any art card from your country.
Photography- black and white, lomo, photo booth's, Polaroid's ,contemporary, vintage or anything showing unusual or interesting photography techniques.
Mosaics - I love ancient, also Gaudi.
Graphic arts
Children's book illustrations
Fashion and Textiles
Hats - traditional/contemporary
Textiles
Fashion photography
Retro advertising, my favourite being to do with fashion or textiles, but I love a lot of old graphics.
Vintage/ retro postcards pre 70's
Kitsch
The colour orange
Food, fruit, cooking and tea making tools.
20's, 50's 60's and 70's design
Not so keen on anything too touristy.
Unless it has beauty in nature or ancient architecture.
I am not so keen on multi views.
Or just look at my favourites to see theme and style ideas.
Love interesting stamps
But don't panic if you can't find anything above. I also very much like receiving cards that are about the sender... not just what I like. I personally like the scavenger-hunt search for cards for people so I often like a list. If that doesn't work for you, thats fine.
Not sure what to write?
How do you see where you are from? Can you sum it up in words or pictures?
Or why you picked a particular postcard, what do you like about it?
Or you could draw a picture if you cant think of words.
Tell me something that happened today that tells me about your world.
Where you live and what you like about it.
About your hobbies or interests.
What makes you happy?
Or whatever you want to write or send for that matter ( you could tell me why).
I love it when I find out something new, or I hear about your life. To me the message is a big part of the postcrossing experience. I had pen pals as a child and really loved the writing.
For more information about the area I work and live...
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Ali
