fannishlissHi friends, it's that time of year when I start to make Valentines.
I make collage Valentines by cutting things out of catalogs. I can send you the original by snail mail, or I can email you a scan (they don't always come out perfectly!)
It helps if I get a few categories from you, so please comment with the following:
1 - preferred color or color scheme
2 - favorite animals or mythical creatures
3 - artistic period or school that calls to you (classical, abstract, tribal, romantic, cottage, eclectic?)
4 - favorite myth, fairy tale, or legend
5 - any other thing or theme you like in a valentine?
The Valentines are not usually fannish in nature since I'm not about to cut up my Doctor Who or Supernatural magazines! But I have a few Think Geek catalogs lying around with some fannish things I could add in (tiny Daleks, Tardises, sonics, that sort of thing....)

I'm a sucker for the Big Bad Wolf thing (predictable I know) So I guess that would be red/black,or perhaps gold, maybe a bit gothic-ish.

Lately I've been obsessed with Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his roses. Which, if you check into these things, are the same style as the roses in Hello!Kitty coloring books. ;)
Beyond that, I like how you work, so do what you want.
