MissKoolAid

29 year old French Canadian (though I've lived in Montreal's West Island all my life... and lemme tell you, it's not always the most french-friendly place.) I currently work in childcare in an elementary school but really, I'm an artist.

I don't have kids of my own yet but I do have a cat named Diesel (she's always purring.)

For my swap partners: though I work with kids, I don't really like receiving childish stuff. I'm not difficult when it comes to colours but I do have a fondness for dark shades of blue and red. Although I like candy and chocolate, it's a good idea not to add too much of them in my packages. I love animals, anything with a ladybug (or ladybird for some) on it and oddly enough, I collect things with cute bats (even not so cute ones.)

Too many things to list. Favourite style is Jazz. Favourite singer is Tori Amos. Favourite band is The Tea Party.

What I don't like is country, rap and loud heavy metal. The rest is usually ok.

The Crow, Breakfast Club, Amelie Poulain, Reservoir Dogs, Labyrinth, Pump Up The Volume...

I'll watch almost anything with Johnny Depp in it or Drew Barrymore or Winnona Ryder or Tim Roth. Don't know why, but I love them.

NCIS, House, Gilmore Girls, Lost, CSI (the original one only), Grey's Anatomy, Heroes

Painting, collage, cardmaking, scrapbooking, assemblage, ATC, origami... Papercrafts in general.

Favourite colours to work with are black, red, grey, blue. I'm interested in altered books though I haven't tried yet. I have lots of old family pictures (late 1890s, early 1900s and lots from the 50s)but I'm not sure what to do with them (copies, not originals.) I like vintage images from ads and product labels. And I always have one or two sketchbooks or journal with me to draw or take notes. It's a must!
