I basically love everything that is handmande. But I particulalrly love: *bookbindings and everything that concerns books, letters and writing, paper crafts (bookmarks, boxes, prints, artistic calligraphy ecc.) *jewellery (especially earrings and necklaces) *all sort of accessories (hats, gloves, scarfs, bags etc.). *I'm not really good at it but I like sewing *I appreciate Embroidery and Knitting even if I don't know how to do it by myself (maybe that's the reason...) *I'm fascinated by make-up and bath&body stuff also

At the moment, definitely Teal and all the nuances between blue and green. I love Fuchsia, Tyrian Purple and generally all violet/purple shades. I love the combination black+bright colour (orange, teal, azure, pink, fuchsia, white etc.) I find very elegant mix up different shades of the same colour (light and dark, what in French in called "ton sur ton")
