boue

So, here it goes. My name is Lise! I am a 22(!) year old ceramicist. I live in Stockholm, Sweden with a roomie called Vivi. I enjoy crafting and journaling and find myself doing that any spare time I have. I guess that's not much of a surprise considering the page that this is. I also like skating, on my rollerskates, reading comicbooks and painting. I dream of becoming a teacher for small children.

For two years I studied to become a ceramicist. That was the best two years of my life. Not only did it open up my mind to art in a totally different way, it also became a passion of mine.I learnt the process of clay and that is something that will follow me through my entire life.

I am very interested in people. Why they do as they do, the decisions they make, what conclusions they take.

I like binding books.

I like simplicity.

I like looking at the sky. I can do that for hours.

I like recycling, so I don't mind receiving pretty stuff from fleamarkets and second hand. I would love to get recycled stuff that are home made, like a box made out of a bottle or something like that. And please excuse ugly packaging, since I like reusing the bubble mailers.

Ok, so I decided to do a little section about my boyfriend. I thought he would perhaps appreciate to receive a little something in some of my future swaps, since I am constantly talking about swap-bot, swap partners, received mail and so on. So if you feel like it, you could put in something for him in the mail you're sending me! I think he would be very happy about that. A little note saying hi is more than enough! (that means someone is thinking about him too) His name is Jonathan. He likes sports, music, badminton, trains, snacks, candy (nothing weird), band t-shirts, socks and the colour blue. Hah, when reading this he sounds like a stereotypical boy. But he's not. ;)

• TV

I enjoy watching crime series where they murder people, that is why Criminal Minds suits me very well. I am very fond of Breaking Bad. It's such a genial series. I also like comedy shows such as How I met your mother, New Girl etc. Recently I enjoyed looking at Walking Dead while crafting and crocheting. Sometimes the only enjoyment is them killing people.

• Books

I like comic books. My favorite ones are from swedish artists like Nina Hemmingsson and Liv Strömqvist. They make satirecomics that criticises society and such.
