Chrystallinya

Well, what am I going to tell about me?! I live in the Netherlands, married, no kids (yet), do have 2 cats. I am an absolute beadaddict, I've got an attic stuffed with them. The gaps between the beads are filled with fabrics, ribbons and yarn. I create jewelry and would love to make my own clothes, but I don't dare to cut my lovely fabrics, scared of ruining them.... I started swapping here to put some of my jewelry around the globe, and every piece I send out is made with love and devotion. I don't send out junk!!!

My jewelryfaves: chokers, medium earrings, charmed bracelets Styles: goth (but not death-goth), victorian, romantic. Favorite colors: Purple (more tanzanite than aubergine), olive green, creamy white, black, rosey-pink, dark red. Wannahaves: - bottlestoppers (for my beadfilled bottles) - bookmarks - felted items (I would love to learn how to make them as well) - ribbons - buttons - lampwork beads - delica beads - 15/0 seed beads - dotee dolls (I've never seen one, and they intrigue me, I'm willing to do a one-on-one swap to receive one for a handmade jewelrypiece) - red nailpolish - red lipsticks (not orangey-red, bit darker ones) - cotton fabrics (fat qrt.) - kitchenherbs-recipes (I got quite a lot of herbs growing in the backyard) - cocktail-recipes - eco-articles (like tote-bags, ideas on recycling, recycled items) - bronze beads - copper beads - ceramic pendants

I started swapping to share some of my jewelry, and to learn some other crafts as well, but I am an avid beader. I am not that into the following: - Kawaii - Bento - Animal-related items - Plastic beads (an absolute no-no, I rather receive one glass bead than a bag full of plastic ones) - Gold colored items - Yellow colored items.
