Hello!

My name is Roshini and I'm an illustrator and designer living in South India (click on my website link to see my work!)

I joined Postcrossing to reignite my love for letter writing and make interesting friends, as well as to send some of my art and good vibes into the world.

I enjoy making art everyday (collage, sketching, weaving, crochet), reading, music, movies, and food.

Please send me some music recommendations! I'm always on the lookout for new music :)

I'm so happy to receive notes from all over the world, so any and all cards are welcome! But if you'd like specific hints, here are some things I love (and you can take a look at my favourites too, there are HUNDREDS there!):

SPECIAL REQUESTS:

- Teapots/ Ceramics (I collect them)
- Birds (I'm an amateur bird-watcher)
- Pin-Up Girls with/without Vintage Cars (collecting them for my brother) *** Please put these in an envelope if possible! Indian postmasters may get a bit scandalized :) ***

* That said, please NO nudes and sexual postcards...save them for someone who requests it :)

Other favourites:

- ART & DESIGN: Children's Book Illustrations, Comics & Graphic Novels, Collage, Painting, Crochet, Yarn, Fabric and Textile Art

-----------------------
When possible, I'd love to have GREETING (or) FOLDED CARDS IN ENVELOPES as I'm curious to receive a little more than a few lines on a postcard from you :)

** If you're sending an envelope and/or handmade card, and if you have kids, it would be great to have them draw a little something for me! I'd really treasure them :) **

Looking forward to getting a small glimpse into your corner of the world!
