BlueEyedNightOwl

Hi there!

I'm Laura and I'm from Amsterdam.

Being creative makes me really happy, I can't think of anything nicer than crafting with a nice CD playing in the background while sipping from a neverending cup of tea.

I'm a blogger and an Etsian. I have a huge love for owls! And I love exploring the city with my camera on hand.

Finding something new is one of the most exciting things in the world to me, whether it's an artist, a musician, a store, a little notebook or a nice parcel in my mailbox.

*Anything Japanese, from paper, stickers, tape and pens to clothes, jewelry and food. Zakka and Kawaii, I love it all! *Stationary, notebooks, washi tape... all that jazz. *Owls. But I also love hedgehogs and stranger creatures like tapirs and tarsiers. *Acorns, don't know why, they're just cute. *Jewelry, especially with birds/owls or miniature food, etc... *Matryoshkas *Vintage items. *Anything Frida Kahlo *Fairies *Moustaches

Crocheting, Knitting, Spinning, Sewing, Painting, Drawing, Sketching. And I love to work with felt, yarn, beads, buttons, ribbons, oil paint, charcoal and ink.

I'm addicted to tea and probably drink 2 liters a day, I really enjoy baking and I absolutely love ginger!

I'm fond of lots of different painters and lots of different styles. I love low brow art and adore the work of Mark Ryden and Benjamin Lacombe. Frida Kahlo is one of my heroes, not just because of her art, although I love that too, but also because of her as a person and the stuggles she has overcome.

*edibles, as I can't have lots of different foods due to allergies *anything too patriotic or (1 of the 50)states-themed, because I live in Europe *religious items
