About Me
I am a 28 year old artist; a gypsy at heart. I graduated from high school early to attend Columbia College Chicago. There I studied photography and earned a BFA with honors in Photography. I have since been working as a commercial photographer, photo stylist and graphic designer.
I love to make things and share them with everyone else!
Favorite Music
I play piano and I want to learn the uke too (I bought a little baby blue one at a thrift shop). I like anything that has: piano, harpsichord, strings, orchestra. My Favorite artists right now: The World/Inferno Friendship Society, Amanda Palmer/The Dresden Dolls, Squirrel Nut Zippers
Favorite Books
Some of my favorite authors include David Sedaris, Neil Gaiman, Brett Easton Ellis and I have just discovered how truely awesome audio books are!
Favorite Movies
I am a hardcore horror movie fan but when I am not watching those I prefer documenteries (go figure!)
Favorite Crafts
I mostly crochet and scrapbook/paper crafts but I am learning slowly how to sew, knit and do some minor book bindning. I am open and interested in all crafts.
Favorite Colors
Pink, Chartruese, Mustard, Teal, Cerulean, I love all colors but I am always drawn to super vibrant colors.
Favorite Various Things
I adore the original Nintendo (I play it every weekend), my Holga camera, Fuji Instax, nail polish, vegan cookbooks, She-Ra, My Little Pony, Vintage Fabric and Wallpapers, bicycles, hearts, Kurt Halsey, journals, Moleskins, makeup (MAC and Urban Decay are favs!), yarn, crochet, cupcakes, wearing glasses, Manic Panic, buttons, Target, sheet music, the horror genre, baking, foxes, handmade stuffed animals, typewriters...

Wow! Your crocheted granny squares are so pretty! Love the way you arrange your colors too=) Im fairly new to the Granny Squares Galore
group, and saw your post for 6x6 squares.I'm afraid my squares wouldnt be as neatly done as yours but could resist telling you how wonderful I think your projects are.
You received it already? Wow, that was fast.
Oh you're in the blacklisted group, hello. What sort of swap were you thinking?
Have a great Labor Day Weekend! :)

Many Greetings, Courtney! I really enjoyed reading your profile, mainly because we share a lot of the same interests, but also because it has a lot of character. You really put yourself into it and your partners can tell a lot about your personality, likes, and dislikes.
I am also a photographer from the Chicago area! I do not have any formal training, however, but I admire that you went to Columbia College! Good for you! What a great school! :)
Have a wonderful June! Cheers, Heather
Hello Courtney! I am your partner from the "Leave A Nice Comment #2" swap. It seems to be that you are a really nice person. For some reason I really like people artists, maybe that is because I love art myself :) Horror movies are awesome and really nice to watch. I wish you luck in learning how to sew, knit and doing minor book bindning. Have a great day, Bruge :)
