About Me

Hi, My name is Moira, I'm a BFA Graduate of Otago Polytechnic School of Art. Very interested in the concept of swapping ATC's since I need motivation to keep making my own art. I am currently semi self employed through a small creative business making cards and starting up a community art/craft/veggie market in Plimmerton. Most of everything else you'd want to know and more on my blog.

Favorite Music

Currently enjoying: Andrew Bird Of Montreal Neutral Milk Hotel Bon Iver, Joanna Newsome, Minuit - awesome NZ group, Bic Runga, Rachel Yamagata, Radiohead (always), Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, I'm a big fan of Tom Waits, Billy Holiday, BB King, Ruth Brown, M Ward, The Triplets of Belleville sountrack, Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, Liam Finn, Minuit, Laurence Arabia, Dimmer, The Phoenix Foundation, Fat Freddy's Drop, Goldenhorse.

Favorite Books

Really enjoyed: Margaret Atwood The French Lieutenants Woman The Golden Compass Series The Raw Shark Texts Jonathan Livingstone Seagull 100 years of Solitude The unbearable lightness of being Hitchikers guide to the galaxy Blessed Are (about chesse, and cheesy chic lit) Zadie Smith books Hunting and gathering The art of living - Dalai Lama Taste (cookbook)

Reading: A short history of nearly everything (Science his) Penguin History of NZ (awesome, slow going) Womans Bodies Womans Wisdom Stop the Clock (cook book)

Favorite Movies

Just enjoyed: Public Enemies, The September Issue, Cherie, Shrink (surprisingly moving, star filled), The Man Who Disappeared (Billy Bob, is good in Black & White!), Twilight (I know teeny bopper, but good cinematography and use of music, no excuse!), Rain - NZ film highly recommend, Hunting & Gathering (Audrey tatou, good interpretation of the book), Slumdog Millionaire,

Favorite Television

Food TV!!!!! that's about all right now Antiques roadshow, Occaisionally River Cottage - if I ever catch it, Mad Men, waiting to download the 1st series Outrageous fortune, on DVD or downloaded what can I say? it makes me laugh with my Mum everytime!!! I've just started watching Deadwood on DVD, We've watched a few old series of Nothern Exposure and every episode of Arrested Development. Just started watching a DVD of the series Deadwood, it's great!

Favorite Crafts

Crochet, although not while I'm trying to finish this latest project. Making cards, Making almost anything!!! Papier mache

Stuff I Love

I'm pretty easily pleased with old stuff or things that are handmade, or materials for paper craft.

I love:

Vintage childrens/science book illustrations, Photography, Recipes for fantastic, tasty food - health, Antique spoons & buttons, Interesting old coins, Sea Pottery, Making sushi, Crochet, Broaches Plastic animals (yes like farmyard toys. I like real ones too but they don't fit in the post in any humane manner), Coloured pencils & ink pens, Stamps (but not too cutsey, or disney etc... ), Mostly all stationary - particularly PAPER, Printmaking, Postcards - and all snail mail, Yoga, Buddist Philosphy, Vintage, Retro & Kitch, Gardens & Kitchens, Cook books & recipes, Decorating Cakes, Making Cards, Flowers (Peonies, succulents, sunflowers, roses, gerberas, flax, magnolia, lillies, pansies) Wheat free ideas, Enviromentally friendly ideas, Stamps, Coins, Old Fabric, Old Photos, Old jewellery, suitcases... collections, collecting Turquoise blue/sea green, red, yellow/orange Makeup (I'm new to this, into natural products) Markets

I don't really like these

Please don't send me lollies I'm on a great diet for arthritis which doesn't allow much processed food or sugar.

I'd prefer not to get stuck on colour photocopies, deco's, generic brands or copied designs, disney (nothing against watching it, I just don't collect it), Anyway, I don't want to seem ungrateful, I prob still wouldn't give you BAD feedback... it's just nice if you are reading and considering your swap mates profile.

**Please Please PLEASE consider drawing/painting me something... I don't hold it to a very high standard, I'm just waiting to receive something like this back, since it's what I do. Many thanks if you'd like to try. I love naive & folk, simplified or even abstract styles. Just have a go.

Comment: hi there. got your skinny today in the mail! thank you so much. i love the aboriginal design! loving all the extras and lil messages from down under!!! wonderful job!!! i'd have given you the heart if you mailed on time... thanks again! tommie
Response: i guess it might look aboriginal... I just like dots. Started playing round with trees & dots around Halloween and kept going. Been collaging cards a lot lately, but keep getting crappy store product back... so disappointing! I'd rather have a late one than that anyday myself.

Comment: Thanks for the card, I love it! I'm putting it up on my wall. :)
Response: Glad you like it : ) I'm a little sad cos I only received one back and it was store bought (although it did have cool stamps on it!) I totally thought it was a handmade swap and got a bit carried away. Oh well, such is life.

Comment: The cards and all were very nice, I signed up for a Halloween swap. This package didnt pertain to that. Thank you for sending another package, you didnt have to do that. My son loved opening it and the Halloween items were cute.
Response: A new package is in the mail as of last Wed. Hope this can make amends. I really enjoy swapping ATC's because of being unwell I spend a bit of time at home. I think I'm going to stick to cards not packages from now on because of being stuck in the house I can keep stamps and get someone to post it in a box. With a package I really have to go to the post shop myself, that's why it was late & only and envelope last time. Sorry again : ) Moira. *I just wanted to make it right - I've been disappointed by a couple myself

Response: Just posting response for the page for now... As advised I have been in bad health with arthritis for a few weeks, couldn't get out of the house. So this has gone in the mail really late, rating pending review by recipient once she receives my card etc.
