hey everyone. i wanted to start this topic becuase i was thinking.. how can something be a surprise RAOK if people don't know what others want?? and if we don't know their address's? well, i can see why some people feel uncomfortable leaving their personal information online.. but, i guess we'll just have to trust other people in this community. :huh:
anyway, you can write down your wishlist, and then your address, and if anybody feels nice and have any item on your list available, then they can send it to you, and it'll be like your birthday on any given day. SO! i'll get it started.
wishlist:
1. vinyl
2. ATC's
3. zines
4. random clippings
5. deco started for me on anything
6. postcards
7. rubber stamps/ink pads
8. hand made wallets/purses/bracelets
9. burned cd of: AC/CD, the whos, bob dylan, the doors, the sex pistols.
10. crochet needles
11. yarn
12. patterns
13. good fabric (tweed, thicker fabric to make bags, ones with vintage, or just solid colors)
14. small charms
15. voodoo dolls
address:
18214 Chatham Lane
Northridge, CA 91326
hope this works out :/ i can see it may have problems,, but i really like the idea.

another idea that doesn't really relate to this.. but kind of does. we can send something to those whose birthdays are listed on the bottom of the forum on the front page. :D so they can get something for their real birthday too!

it is indeed, because if one were to look at all my interests and tastes, one would probably be convinced that i was schizophrenic, because they are so many, weird, irregular and illogical :D but it's all good :P

Yes, I am still exuding greed. Palpably, even - there's some fancy/weird stuff on here, so please forgive me if it's inappropriate to ask for it:
glass test tubes w/out markings
Golden Nature Guides, esp. Insects, Insect Pests, Spiders and Their Kin, Birds, and Butterflies and Moths - ones that are already a little cut up are fine
tiny animal figurines or trinkets I can use in my mixed media art (http://www.scribble.com/dghq/mixedmedia.html) - no licensed characters please... old a plus, wood or ceramic a plus, unintentionally deformed or a bit "off" a BIG plus!
wooden cigar boxes
old medical/dental textbooks, illustrations, or related ephemera
not-cutesy drawings of rabbits and hares from old kids' books, nature guides, or veterinary manuals
dead wasps and bees, abandoned wasp nests or beehives in good shape
rabbit bones, esp. skulls and pelvic bones
coyote legs, freeze-dried or otherwise *preserved* only! I'd like to do a Beuys-inspired art installation that requires dozens of them
owl pellets
undyed feathers
skeleton leaves, or large dry seed pods (like milkweed)
"sleepy" doll eyes, any size or color
acrylic paint, esp. bright reds, glossy black, magenta, and dark or cerulean blue
metallic stamp pads
not-cutesy rubber stamps of animals (birds, bugs, rabbits, and predatory mammals especially!), leaves, feathers, Victorian/Enlightenment-era medical art
metal keyhole plates (called "escutcheons," I think?), the older and rustier the better
old skeleton keys
those chalky little Necco Valentine-message heart candies
recordings of amusement parks, fairs, and places like House on the Rock, whether you walked through with a high-end mini-disc recorder and a boom mike or hid a handheld tape recorder in your purse
tapes or CDs of darkwave/industrial/"world"/just plain weird music
colored/tinted plastic CD cases
small square/rectangular sections of wire mesh, glass, or plexiglass
accordion songbooks or instructional videos, as in "I would like to play the accordion better!"
green tea, lapsang souchong, or "sweet" teas like French vanilla, maple, etc.
cookies or sweets that you personally made!
milagros or small charms of rabbits or body parts
Nyanko, Neko Panya or Tamala 2010 debris
disturbing postcardsAlso, books on Asian or Scandinavian mythology, "outsider" art, surrealist art and literature, sustainable living, concrete sculpture, book arts, or the art of the insane; any of Crispin Hellion Glover's altered books except Oak Mot. Issues of Clay Times, Ceramics Monthly, Morbid Curiosity, Farm Pulp, Book Happy, Fortean Times, Juxtapoz, Asian Cult Cinema, Giant Robot, Cabinet, Pulp, Zero Zero and d.i.y. or art maga-/zines.
I have lots of things to trade if you have any of this stuff, too.

It's nice to have a place to write a wishlist without being too realistic about it - to include the things I don't really think anyone else will have just in case, and to list everything I can think of without feeling too greedy about it because it's random. I also like the getting-to-know-you aspect of wishlists, because some of the ones I read seem to say a lot about people's personality and interests.
Wishes:
- non-plastic beads.
- origami paper.
- nice paper or cardstock.
- scraps or pieces of fabric or yarn (natural fiber rather than synthetic preferred).
- mercerized cotton crochet thread (for tatting).
- ATCs.
- cancelled stamps (particularly ones with nice pictures).
- foreign coins.
- bits of nature from where you live.
- tapes of people speaking languages other than English. Those old language-learning tapes you haven't used in years? Great. A tape of yourself speaking another language? Even better. Please say what language it is just in case I can't tell. Other language-learning materials would be nice, too, but I have a bad habit of picking up textbooks at book sales and not having a clue what the language is supposed to sound like.
- instructional materials for learning Braille.
- a nice journal.
- anything to do with kites or sailboats.
- lychee (litchi? leechi?) flavoured candies, or other foreign or interesting candies.
- books, zines, or music you think I should read or hear, or a list of recommendations for the same. Tell me why you chose what you did, if you can.
- instructional books on beginners' guitar or harmonica (maybe you're no longer a beginner and you've outgrown them).
- The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.
- sheet music for flute (medium difficulty).
- anything you made that you'd like to share.

:rolleyes: Hi Everyone!
I have sent out my first batch of random envelopes to this list and more will follow!
I thought I'd add my wishlist:
** Any cool art that you've made, from crafts to paintings to ATCs to fingerpaint
** Get your camera out and shoot a roll of whatever strikes your fancy. Then send me the roll of film undeveloped and when I develop it, I'll have surprise photos!
** A list of movies I should watch and why I need to see them (the costumes are great, the actors are hot, the plot is twisted, etc.)
** Any cd's or mixtapes -- I love to hear what other people listen to
** A book with your favorite parts underlined or thoughts scribbled on the pages
** Anything 80's, weird, sci-fi, vamp, smurfy, or Disney
** Make a mix movie/ tv tape, record for me your favorite tv show or movies
** A great penpal letter
** Naked Mail -- take an object, stick a mailing label on it and attach postage, don't put it in a box and see if it gets to me, like a soapdish or a baseball -- be creative
** Or anything else random!!
Thanks to whoever's up for the challenge...

Hmmm I feel kind of guilty and/or greedy doing this but it is almost my birthday (Oct. 8) and I am very broke so... yeah, I still feel guilty/greedy... but anyway... here goes. This is the (long) list of stuff I want.
Artwork:
*ATCs - Made by YOU! Ones that you are especially proud of (as long as you can bear to part with them, haha). I would like to start a collection. Mainly for my own enjoyment, but also as inspiration so I can start making my own! Be sure to sign the back and put your Nness ID on it (your address too if you would like one in return once I begin to make my own).
*Art or Altered Dolls - Made by YOU! I want dark, voodoo, gothic or just plain odd little dolls!
*Matchbox/Mint Tin Shrines - Made by YOU! Dark, scary, Halloween themes are always a hit with me, otherwise something you are proud of!
*Any other random art and altered objects made by you!
Themes I like: Asian stuff (India and Japan specifically), Egyptian stuff, ankhs especially, travel in general, victorian/vintage/old and distressed looking, all things dark and spooky/"gothic", bats (as in the animal!), stars, tattoos, Halloween & Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead ... favorite colors: black red and purple, And that is all I can think of right now, but I am sure that is enough.
Art supplies:
*ATC sleeves - You know, the 9 cards per page plastic sheets you can put in a 3-ring binder!
*Thick, quality ATC blanks - all colors and textures, as long as it's fairly strong.
*Clear resist stamp pad
*Rubber stamps - non-cutesy/country, like Victorian, antique looking objects or weird stamps, medical looking (like the Phren Nness head!), gothic/dark, architectural, abstract, backgrounds, borders, travel themed, etc.
*Permanent/archival ink pads - any colors.
*Various papers - any sizes, printed, colored/textured tissue or rice paper, hand made, vellum etc.
*Small trinkets and found objects - again, Victorian/old and just plain crazy or odd little things.
*Assorted fibers
*Aluminum tape - ya' know. Looks like shiny, shiny tin foil with a sticky side! I think it's a bit thicker though.
*Match boxes, altoid (especially the mini ones) or mint tins with hinged lids (or aol cd tins)
*Shrink Plastic
*Unique postage - Cancelled or not. Foreign preferred but odd US postage is cool also!
*Assorted colors of fine or detail embossing powders - (I have black, gold, and platinum so I don't need those.)
*Dominos - any size or material as long as they are ivory in color.
And suprises are always nice too!
Yeah, um.. I forgot my address, ha. I am sleepy... but addicted to Nness, lol.

Wow, this is cool!
OK, a wish list:
* ATCs, postcards, or other random mail art, especially made by you.
* collage stuff, papers, fibers, photos, funny quotes...
* a letter from you!
* naked mail!

* weird little toys, like bubbles, or, remember those horrible smelling plastic bubble things you could get, where this goopy stuff came in a little tube and it came with a little straw, and you were supposed to roll a little ball of the goop and stick it to the end of the straw and then blow through the other end and it would make this plasticky bubble thing? Yeah, stuff like that.
* Candy or other stuff from somewhere other than the US...
* I like cat stuff, too, but not too cutesy, I like grumpy cats.
* If you have a kid, something your kid made.
* Beads, especially ones with big enough holes to string on narrow ribbons.
* books to alter.
* decos to add to.
* game pieces
* recipes!
* felt and fake flowers, to make flower pins with!
* SURPRISES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

umm, i think that jrsjrs has my brain! She has all of the same types of things that I want, oh wait, and so does beachgirl, and oh wait, so do dottie and stacy! GEEZ!! I think all of these people like what i like, so i think that means only one thing! They're really those bodysnatchers we've been hearing so much about latel... well ok, not lately, but we have heard of them haven't we?... No,? Are you sure we haven't heard of them lately? The 70's?? Are you sure we haven't heard about them since the 70's?!? Ok, then I guess they might be like those guys in Shaun of the dead! Yeah, the ones that go around eating your brains so that they can steal your ideas and your... no?? they didn't eat your brains to gain all of your ideas and senses...? ok, so what the heck were we talking about???
OH YEAH!! Hee hee! I want stuff! Just anything! Send me a candy bar wrapper, I don't care, just make sure it's purple, has the candy still in it and that it has CHOCOLATE inside!! What?!? They don't make a candy like that?!? Are you sure?!? I don't think I'm having such a good night, i think it may be time for me to go to bed now, I haven't been getting much sleep lately... What?? You too?? Well do what I do and go to NERVOUSNESS and just scrolll through the forums till you see something that looks interesting and reply with some long boring nonsensical essay that pops up right from the middle of nowhere! that's what i do when I get to the point where I'm so tired I just can't go to sleep!
YUPPERS!! Try it and call me in the morning! Or if I'm not home, just send me something in the mail at

Is this the place to put what I have to offer as well? As in an exchange? well, I'm new to all this, but here goes:
Here's my wish list, and a list following of things I can offer in exchange:
-postcards
-rubber stamps
-art calendars...any size or year, or European scenery calendars
-old magazines: Country Living, any log home related mags, anything European, Nexus, any new-age/magick/goddessy type, any artist or writer related publications, home decorator mags (esp. European) any Reiman publications (Taste of Home, etc.) any Taunton Press (Threads, etc.), Countryside, or related homesteading/self-sufficiency magazines (except Backwoods Home, which I subscribe to) or VICTORIAs
-Gel pens...the tools of my trade, can't get enough of them.
-Embroidered huck weaving towels
-Vintage handkerchiefs
-any fabric, art, cards, ads from the '60's or before
-any kitchen related stuff from 50's or before
-old travel brochures or maps
-beads or charms...not large, prefer glass or stone beads
-cute stuff for my 12 year old daughter...key chains, etc.
-cat related stuff
-acetate envelopes, ATC sized or larger
-old lace
-unused postage
-your old videos... comedy, romantic comedies, classics, musicals...not interested in sci-fi, horror, suspense
-books...anything related to metaphysics, natural healing, British stuff, award-winning kid lit, humor, comics, chick lit if it's good
your suggestions welcome!
Here's what I have to offer:
-Some New Mexico Magazines
-postcards, some quite old, some travel, some b/w photos, and of course SW themes (new)
-junk jewelry... I have a bunch of necklaces from garage sales...more details if you ask--lots of little coral beads and mother of pearl
-some old lace trims, some crocheted
-travel brochures, advertising flyers related to NM sites
-artist business cards I collect at art fairs, some very nice
-ATCs of mine (mandalas)
-11-count Aida cloth, 12x12 in. squares, white or ecru
-I have some old (20's to 40's) National Geographics if you'd like xerox copies of pages of the advertising or something
-random stuff---this would be anything from scraps of paper to fabric scraps... some would be good quilting pieces if you quilt
Also, I have access to Native American stuff of all kinds where I live, so if you're wanting to buy something in particular, it's fairly easy for me to pick it up for you. I live close by several reservations. If you want NM souvenirs, they are all right handy!
Thanks for reading my list!

Wow, this sounds like fun! I've sent a couple of bits and pieces out yesterday and am making up another package for someone today with pieces I have lying about the house anyway. What a great way to de-clutter
So, here's my list (if you can't really manage the first item, it does get more modest so please keep on looking!):
- THIS! http://www.audi.co.uk/newcars/model.jsp?section=/models/tt/coupe
- hand-bound books (would love to see an example of real japanese stab-binding)
- ATCs (I love abstract stuff, but anything you've got would be great!)
- 'naked' postcards made by you (or in an envelope if you must...)
- your own handwritten poems / stories / letters...
- the 'thumbnails' and sketches you usually throw away once you've completed a project (I love to see people's thought processes)
- acrylic paint
- fine ink pens - i'd love to try a sharpie! (we can't get them over here)
- 'found' photographs, particularly polaroids
- handmade paper
- small pieces of felt
- coffee! if you have a favourite roast, please let me try some ; )
- a credit-card sized sturdy handmade envie (for me to keep stamps in my wallet!)
- tapes or cds of your favourite music
Pretty much anything interesting, original and creative would put a smile on my face. Make sure you include your address so I can send something back! I'm a little shy of putting my address on a public forum, so do send me a message if you need my address. The package won't be totally random, but you can still surprise me with the contents.
Thanks so much,
Dan

Reading through this thread, I think I can send about 15 ROAKs out with the extra supplies I have! Maybe I can get some new goodies at my new house in return!
More or less, straight from my wants/trades thread:
Art Supplies:
Used is fine as long as I can still get some use out of it! :)
*ATC sleeves - You know, the 9 cards per page plastic sheets you can put in a 3-ring binder!
*Clear resist stamp pad
*Rubber stamps - non-cutesy/country, like Victorian, antique looking objects or weird images, medical looking (like the Phren Nness head!), gothic/dark/spooky, architectural, abstract, backgrounds, borders, travel themed, gypsies, cool quotes and musings (about art, fairies, beauty, love, the night, stars, moons, suns, anything interesting and beautiful or perhaps a bit odd!), bats, Day of the Dead images, etc.
*Permanent/archival ink pads - any colors.
*Various papers - any sizes, printed, colored/textured tissue or rice paper, fiber paper, hand made, vellum etc.
*Small trinkets, charms and found objects - again, Victorian/old and just plain odd or crazy little things.
*Assorted fibers - any colors or textures.
*Aluminum tape - ya' know. Looks like shiny, shiny tin foil with a sticky side! I think it's a bit thicker though.
*Match boxes, altoid (including the mini ones) or mint tins with hinged lids (or aol cd tins)
*Shrink Plastic - I can't find this anywhere.
*Unique postage - Cancelled or not. Foreign preferred but odd US postage is cool also!
*Assorted colors of fine or detail embossing powders - I have black, gold, and platinum so I don't need those.
*Dominos - any size or material, as long as they are ivory in color.
*Walnut Ink - any colors!
*Mica Tiles - any size, even small bits and pieces are ok.
*Wire mesh or screening - any color or finish. Even scraps are good!
*Little faces - to make art dolls and such, any size or material, painted or unfinished!
*Bees wax - pellets or small chunks
Artwork:
*ATCs - Made by YOU! Ones that you are especially proud of (as long as you can bear to part with them :lol: ). I would like to start a collection. Mainly for my own enjoyment, but also as inspiration so I can start making my own! Be sure to sign the back and put your Nness ID on it (your address too if you would like one in return once I begin to make my own).
*Art Dolls - Made by YOU! I want gypsies, dark, voodoo, gothic or just plain odd little dolls!
*Matchbox/Mint Tin Shrines - Made by YOU! Dark, scary, Halloween and gypsy themes are always a hit with me, otherwise something you are proud of!
Themes I like:
Asian stuff (India, China and Japan specifically), Egyptian stuff - ankhs especially, travel in general, victorian/vintage/old and distressed looking, all things dark and spooky/"gothic", bats (as in the animal!), stars, tattoos, Halloween & Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, Gypsies, ... favorite colors: black red, bright pink or fuschia and purple, And that is all I can think of right now, but I am sure that is enough.
Random Stuff I like:
*Blue Man Group - I would like ANYTHING and everything having to do with BMG. I adore them!
*Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Again, I will take anything and everything Hedwig related.
*Labyrinth - Yessssssss 80's David Bowie and super cute goblin type creatures. I'll take anything you've got!
*Badtz Maru - Yes, I love the little evil penguin. Anything and everything BM would rock my world.
*Jhonen Vasquez stuff - Anything Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Invader Zim or Squee related.
*Gypsies - Gypsies are cool. Any gypsy related images, papers or trinkets would be great.

This thread is great! I've got heaps of stuff ready to send out - I love the idea of sending someone thousands of miles away with a surprise gift.
I live in Australia, so don't send stuff that will cost you a fortune in postage! I will send some of my artwork - mostly ATC's to everyone that sends me something (and includes their address).
Here's my wishlist.I would like:
*unmounted rubber stamps (nothing too cute though!)
*cultural stuff/anything from your part of the world
*beautiful ATC's made by you
*vintage and retro stuff - especially photos and pictures
*any "bootleg" Pearl Jam cds
*handmade greeting cards made by you
*handmade or unusual papers
*penpals from anywhere in the world that share my passion for all things arty and crafty
*unusual charms, brads, ephemera that might be hard to find in Australia
*USA coins - mainly the 25c pieces with the individual state emblem thingy's on them
*craft/art items that are slightly odd, wierd and unusual
*basically anything that I can use in my art or crafting
Fave themes:
asian, egyptian, nature, flowers, african animals, retro, antique, music, glamour, etc.
Fave colors:
black, red, green, browns, purple
I don't like the idea of making my address detail so public by putting them here, so if you are thinking of sending me something, please pm me and I'll give you the details. I know this kinda ruins the surprise a bit, but what's inside the package will still be a surprise anyway. Happy RAoKing!!

You know, I was looking at my list and I realized that more than anything, I really need and want a thread caddy. You know, those wall-mounted things that are just a piece of wood with lots of angled pegs on them where you can store your spools of thread? I'm in desperate need of one, caouse all my thread is in a big lump in a ziploc bag. If anyone has an old one lying around, I'd be more than happy to trade whatever your heart desires for it. Pm me pleeeease?!

Y'know, my birthday is the 1st October, and it'd be awesome to recieve a little something.
And ATC or a postcard or whatever you'd want to send out. Hey, even a blank postcard would be nice, if it had an interesting postage stamp ;)

I am moving to a new apartment today, and decided to post here, maybe get some fun mail at my new place! I have lots to send others too, as I unpack allll those boxes marked STUDIO.
Most of all, I would like things to decorate the studio. I'm all about bright colors, sparkly things, and rainbows. In particular, I'd love artwork such as shrines, altered board books, art dolls, small assemblages, etc. But even just funky silk scarves from the thrift store would rock! Whatever you can think of for a nesting color fiend. :)
Here's the actual list of stuff I'd like aside from nesting goodies:
-vintage photos of people, full body shots only - they don't have to be originals, collage sheets or similar things are fine
-small picture frames, the more ornate the better but simple is fine too
-small plastic or flocked figurines (animals or people), more kitsch than realistic, not licensed characters but horses, generic princesses, etc
-brushes, sponges, and other tools for playing with paint
-boxes, frames, wood blocks, birdhouses, small drawers, etc for altering
-brass stampings, especially wings and crowns
-glittery or shimmery paints, inks, etc
-canvas or canvas boards, small to medium sized (up to around 12"x12")
-vintage 60s/70s fabrics, wallpaper, ribbon, or other textiles in the bright colors and mod patterns of the time
-materials good for layering, such as printed tissue paper, lace paper (not doilies unless very unusual), mesh bags from produce, punchinella, etc
-art glitter of any kind, the more unusual or brightly colored the better
-shrink plastic ("Shrinky Dinks") for an inkjet printer, even a couple sheets
-largish (not seed bead sizes) beads in bright colors, clear, or silver - any material
-sequins, the confetti type that don't have holes for sewing
-anything with carousels, mermaids, unicorns, parasols, or hot air balloons
-artsy rubber stamps
-rubber stamped images
-book pages; especially with engravings/vintage photos
-colorful or glittery things, try me!
And of course, it doesn't have to be soon after my move - I welcome random mail any time!

Glad I found this thread.
So many pages, I'll be reading for awhile.
No list of my own to add at this time.
I just want the world to be run by justice and fairness.
If anyone here can accomplish that, I have only one question, Where have you been!
Hi all! I am a newbie on Nervousness, I have only made a quick intro of myself, but have not really posted before, nor have a checked out the swaps yet! I need to do that and join one...
I like the idea of this thread. I think that RAKs are so cool, both to send and receive. I feel kinda strange making a wish list, I fee like I am being greedy! But here goes nothing....
Things that interest me:
* an altered Barbie or a photo of one and simple instructions on making one.
* a blank journal to take on vacation with me next month and/or basic ideas on doing a travel journal
* ideas on making fabric, no sew art dolls (is it possible?
* any ideas on what i can do with cool fabric, and funky fibers, and a small sample or photo
* ideas on what kind of things I should take with me on my vacation... basically, what could i use to make a travelling art kit, I have a few ideas, but would love more! (I make ATCs, but want get some ideas of what to take so I might be able to alter some found objects I may find )
* a mini travelling art kit
* cool tissue paper
* paste paper
I think that is enough, maybe even too much!
Can you see that I am a newbie to many different art forms? I am a visual learner, that's why I ask for samples or photos.

I just sent out two RAOKs today... it feels so good to do this.
If anyone's willing and able, I'd love some random ATCs. I typically prefer "abstract" ATCs, but I'll accept any.

oh dear i haven't been on nervousness in a couple of years!!! how is everyone? i am gong to go & sieve through & see what i can do to help with wishlists...
i've got some little things on my lists i suppose... although i really do not exactly know or feel so comfortable asking for things because i jus spent almost 4 years in a very badly abusive relationship- i barely even recognized it as so. i'm very sad but i guess i'd say i love music, esp. music that involves recovery from abusive. ie. red jumpsuit apparatus' "face down" & pearl jam's "better man"... i still love angels, sparkly things, zines i suppose although i really don't own any anymore, or much of anthing anymore, so i wish i had some things to decorate my new apartment in so i feel safe because i am all alone. i lost all my stufies including the one stuffed animal my dad gave me and that was before he died on March 20th 2006 so when i said i lost everything in this abusive relationship, being evisted to losing everyting that meant anything because i got hurt abused and manipulated everyday i'm really not kidding or exaggerating. if only i was.... i love things that glow in the dark. i don't remember much of who i was exactly before because that was swept awaybut i want to be a wonderful nervousness friend. i'm just very shy and timid right now...

I hadn't gone thru this thread for ages until yesterday, and so now I have some stuff ready to send out to a few of my fellow Nervousnessers.
I would like some of these things please:
*some funky fibres in 12" length or longer - I use these a lot in my art and I'm getting sick of using the same ones over and over. If you prefer, we can arrange a swap - some of my fibres for some of yours.
*paper or fabric flowers such as prima flowers, Bazzill etc. - I also use tons of these and I'm running very low on them, so if you have any lying around, I'd be so happy if you sent them this way.
*basically any interesting or vintage ephemera that I can use for making decos etc (I make loads of decos for other people, so anything I could use would be very, very much appreciated).
pm me for my addy. Let me know if there's anything you would like in exchange for these. Thanks muchly my nervous buddies!
