About Me

I am Coralette, better known as The Crafty Hag! From my website www.craftyhag.com you can find links to images of my artwork on flickr, online Etsy store, mail art blog, and more. I am also a member of the IUOMA, the international union of mail artists and love to make and send postcards/original art in the mail.

I am a printmaker and painter and make collage cards, aceos/atcs, zines... you name it! I am inspired by all types of creatures, seasons, and holidays. Especially cephalopods, birds, bears, pets, basically anything nature and Halloween!

I have a black cat and a tuxedo cat. Both were strays and I'm glad to have adopted them.

I like things that are out of the ordinary... not into really cute sweetness, more into edgy, strange, odd things... I like music that ranges from old 1940s-1950s swing, to dark industrial, to polka, to college alternative, ska, punk rock.... I listen to non commercial community radio stations both here in Florida (www.wmnf.org) and in Minnesota (www.radiok.org) I can't stand commercials, telemarketing, close minded people, or haters. I don't squash bugs except for the evil palmetto bugs that fly around here in the tropical sauna of Florida.

My background is in art, I speak german well enough to get around, and have had a penpal in germany for nearly 25 years. I don't act my age and I like things that make me laugh.

That's enough about me. I will always complete a swap so if your item is missing something is seriously wrong so contact me so we can fix it :)

Comment: Happy Valentine's Day! Thank you for your totally awesome zine! I enjoyed your crafty stamped designs. You are very creative. I loved the business card with the octopus. Is that also a hand stamp image that you designed? If so, kudos!
