i generally love all sorts of arts and crafts. i was a bit of a crafty kid when i was little. always crafting things instead of doing homework and reading craft books instead of storybooks and textbooks.

i like to do origami, paper and photo crafts, pen and watercolour drawings. i've just begun collecting and making ATCs. i've also just taught myself a little knitting. i'm not good at it and only do small projects. i like making my own wallets and purses as well as plushies/softies. i've also just started embroidering on softies but i'm not very good at it. i am currently experimenting with resin. and have just begun doing bottlecap art. sometimes i do a little scrapbooking. i like to do collage both on paper and on the computer. and i also enjoy anything handicrafty.

i'm a try-every-craft-once kinda crafter.

i like to recieve softies, bottlecap artworks, matchbox shrines, ATCs, paper and photo crafts, altered books, altered journals, finished scrapbook pages, pen drawings, watercolor paintings, collages and handmade things.
