What is your favorite fairy tale, persona, or motif? What imagery does the story/person/thing evoke for you? Do you like or hate how it was handled by a movie or show? How about illustrations and pictures on the subject? Any you are particularly in love with?

 

I think I answered this at length in the thread.

 

How are you with ethically sourced (read: found in the woods on the ground, on the beach, etc.) formerly living bits? Examples: feathers, butterfly wings, fossilized teeth/bone, clean-but-not fossilized bone.

 

Go for it!

 

Would you rather have half of something that was super fabulous in conception, but ultimately too much to pull off completely in the time frame(although still fully functional?

 

Yes. Do what you want and then send it my way.

 

Is there something specifically in fairytales you do NOT want to see?

 

Really, really graphic violence and incest.

 

And would you be limited to the idea of 'fairytales' or would you be happy with crossing over into 'origin stories' or 'mythology'?

 

DO IT.

 

If you've mentioned that purple is a favorite color, which shades do you prefer?

 

Jewel tones -- so vivid but darkish.

 

If in your questionnaire you talked about different styles or listed a number of favorite stories, now that we've been talking about the subject, has anything sort of popped into your head as a "you know I REALLY wish my artist would do something with X story/theme/subject/style." ?

 

I do like Art Deco and Art Nouveau, but I would also really like whatever style you are most comfortable with. I'd rather have a piece you are comfortable and confident making than something you bent over backwards to make in a style I like, but weren't as comfortable in. I'd like to see your expertise.

 

How do you feeel about nudity?

 

I'm not opposed.

 

How do you feel about more practical crafty kinds of things, rather than more traditional "art"? Like would you be ok with a decorated box or bag, or something like that?

 

I would love it.

 

Would you like a retold fairy tale (in poem or story form) written by your artist as part of your swap?

 

Sure!

 

How do you feel about receiving a recipe of some sort based off your faerie tale of choice?

 

Yessssss.

 

Or say a meal plan you could do for a day or like a dinner party or something?

 

Okay, yes, this would be fun.

 

How do you feel about anime in general?

 

I'm down with it.

 

What kind of bodyshapes appeal to you in pin up art, male and female?

 

Curvy, but realistic lady shapes.

 

How do you feel about excerpts in your art? Are words okay, or would you rather leave language to the imagination?

 

You do what you want.

 

What is your favorite grimms tale?

 

This is haaaaaaaard. Seriously, I don't even know.

Would you mind getting extra non fairytale goodies along with the required item? Like teas, bacon caramels, soap?

 

Sure!

 

Would you enjoy a wearable item? something hand knit by chance?

 

I'd love it. The asker of this question sent me a pair of wrist warmers last year and I wear them ALL THE TIME. She's a fantastic knitter.

What kinds of things do you like to eat?

 

All kinds of things. We're serious foodies. Oh, except not mushroom-truffles. Those kind of taste like feet to me. No matter how I have 'em, then end up just being gross. And I love mushrooms. But bllerrrrgh.

 

If you were my patron, is there are particular animal (or animals, or animal tale) from a faerie tale/myth/modern tale/legend that you love or emphasize with?

 

No.

Do you have a particular house color palette?

I think I already said this -- we have a very nice neutral light taupe wall color. I tend to decorate in browns and jewel tones.

If you were my patron, what would you be hoping for in miniature?

 

Whatever you are planning on sending me.
