About Danièle...

Bonjour to you all:

I am a freelance copy editor (of French) and I live in a multicultural and very colorful part of my home town (Montreal).

My hobbies include reading, writing letters (mail art), watching movies and going out with friends. Walking is my way of fighting the couch potato syndrome.

My main interests are history, art, architecture, graphic design/illustrations, photography, watercolor, calligraphy and local customs.

I l-o-v-e to travel. So far, I have visited a few countries in Europe, some extensively, and a good part of New England (USA). Cuba is my favorite Caribbean island. Next on my list : the American West Coast and Asia. And then there is Prague, Berlin...

I prefer my cards handwritten and stamped.
Don't know what to choose? Try (NOT in order of preference)

--cards with people in them (street life, traditional costumes, whimsical, funny)

--cards with bright colors

--unusual landscapes

--groupings (of any objects, not views)

--Inge Löök (the Grannies)

--anything related to books, paper, mail, pens, calligraphy

--black and white photography (old or new)

--interesting or insolite architecture (historical... or not, Hundertwasser, Gaudi, Le Corbusier) and architectural details (doors, windows, tiles, street furniture)

--art from your country (traditional or contemporary)

Or simply send me your favorite card (and maybe tell me why you like it best).

Looking forward to reading you.
