let me send you a Valentine

[fannishliss]

Hi 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....)

*raises hand*

What a lovely idea. I was just moaning at my hubby the other day that he doesn't do anything special anymore! :D

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.

sounds great!! :D

Cool. Maybe I can guilt trip the hubby into getting me a prezzie too. I've already decided to treat myself to the Fright Night dvd *g*

I'll PM you my address whenever you're ready.

Hi -- I have valentines ready, so I need your address!

I'll also be scanning them just in case snail mail fails. :P

You know I love your valentines!

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.

yay, art deco! and hello kitty! :D

I'm having an awesome time learning about the Mackintosh Rose. It's perfect for a collage project!!! :D

I have wanted to have one tattooed on the inside of my right wrist for a long time now, in shades of light to dark pink. *sigh* :)

:D I'd love one!

I like greens and blues, cats, horses and dragons. I don't know much about art, so I'll leave style up to you. My favorite fairy tale was always Snow White. I'll be thrilled with whatever you come up with!
