I love mail and I love to craft! My name is Jennifer and I live on Long Island in NY. I'm a wildlife specialist by trade. I'm also a dog owner and a vintage kokeshi doll collector. I do some embroidery, sewing and applique with wool felt. I also knit and crochet simple things and spin using a drop spindle.Lately I've been carving stamps and getting back in to lino-cutting. I also paint (badly) and do collage and kirigami. I'll try my hand at just about any kind of craft. I have way too many magazines and I love Japanese comic books! and vintage buttons, and aprons! The list keeps on growing!

Right now I'm into making things out of felted sweaters but after the holidays I want to start making resin jewelry and buttons.

I also make aprons and purses.

Favorite colors: Blue, green, any ocean color. I'm not a big fan of hot pink but I like coral colors. Likes: Dragons, birds, dogs, sci-fi and fantasy, Japanese themes and patterns, buttons, stickers, origami paper, yarn, cell phone charms, craft magazines, space operas, crypto-zoology, goats, zombies, kokeshi dolls Dislikes: Religious themed items, anything even remotely related to the Twilight books or movie, no babies or motherhood or feminism related stuff either please. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be female but I'm not really into that kind of gender-specific art.
