About Me

Hi everyone, I'm in my early 40s, a housewife, and mom to three girls. Lately, I've started getting back into glue books/art journals. I take apart old children's books and turn them into journals. I no longer hoard/save craft bits for that special occasion (which never comes), and use them in my journals. Other crafts I sometimes work on are ATCs, deco books, altered matchboxes, stamp carving, some knitting, crocheting, and sewing.

Likes

  • Magical creatures: Faeries, gnomes, goblins, elves, etc.
  • Watery beauties: Mermaids, selkies, nymphs...
  • Fairy Tales esp. Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, and Snow White & Rose Red
  • Classic storybooks: Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and One Thousand and One Arabian Nights
  • Nature: mushrooms, moss, ferns, dark forests, birch trees (my fav. tree), toadstools, clover, and moths
  • Dark and creepy. I love Krampus, unusual oddities, spider webs, skeletons, Japanese obake, and Romanticism-Gothic periods.
  • Classic American horror films (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc.)
  • Moon phases
  • 1950s atomic stars
  • Anything cute and kitschy (ex. 1950s, mid-century, and tiki style)

  • Embroidery floss - all colors
  • Wool for needle felting - all colors
  • Gel pens - all colors
  • Any colored inks or watercolor paint
  • Kawaii - Japanese brands (esp anything with ghost/monsters, quirky objects, and food with faces). I love the older designs from the late 90s to early 2000s the best. My favorite Sanrio characters are Little Twin Stars, My Melody, and Keroppi.
  • Some Korean kawaii. I mostly like the older stuff from the 90s, like Lovely White, Pink Hana, and Jetoy Cat.
  • My favorite art styles: Pre-Raphaelite, and Pop Surrealism
  • My favorite season is winter.
  • My favorite colors are light blues and mint/pale greens
  • I love cats, foxes, and deer (after those, would be lambs and rabbits)
