linoleum

I'm Beth -

I spend most of my time designing behind a computer, taking photographs with my holga/sx-70/xti, or frequenting flea markets/thrift stores.

I'm almost out of school, fine arts degree/concetration in graphic design and advertising. Hopefully I can land a good job and get out of Pennsylvania!

I'm a compulsive thrifter and an etsy addict, which resulted in the creation Electric Lime Vintage (see link above).

I'm open to one-on-one swaps, so if my profile interests you, feel free to PM me!
