A barter of sorts. If you need a favour that involves work (design) and my spending time/effort and feel awkward about paying me, here is a list from which you can send me stuff in lieu of little multi-colour paper pieces. Most of these are things I always strike off the shopping list to accommodate more boring everyday things. (Let us see how this works. See homepage for snail mail address.)
