About Mirabean

I'm 21-year-old girl from Finland, studying visual arts. I'm living with my fiancée and our mixed-breed puppy dog (well she's already a year old, but she's still our pup ;-;) ! My life is going just fine, I have lots of time to do my own stuff. I forget lots of things. I mean, really lots of things. Sometimes I feel like I've lost my head and memory a long long time ago.

My Studies & Work

As I mentioned before, I study visual arts. Drawing, painting, printing, photgraphy, sclupting and more. I studied two years comic drawing and writing in Liminka school of arts. That was the very best time of my life! Learnd so much about everything, mostly about my self and life. After that I started Sofia Lybecker's craft and art school in Raahe, where I'm now sophomore. I love it there too!

Drawing is my life. I want to grow as better artist all the time. Where ever I go, my sketchbook will follow. Colours... I love them and they frighten me really much at the same time, I'm trying to get rid of that fear at the moment.

Swap info

If you don't receive your swap 2 weeks after deadline, please contact me before rating 1. Our local postal office has been a crank lately, it has lost a bunch of my and my friend's mail and some mail for me... I've sent couple of notes to there to fix the problems, I hope this isn't a long lasting problem. I gladly re-send the lost envelopes! Let me know! Also, life might happen sometimes. Meaning that I can get sick, or someone who I love might get badly sick and then I can't do my swaps on time. I will send you a private message if something like that happens, and I hope you can understand that everything does not always go like planned. I don't like swaps that describe "You must be 110% sure to send your swap on time!!!". There is no such possibility. There's always something that might happen. Sorry.

I totally understand if you have some issues or problems, that you can't swap on time. Just let me know !

Rating 5 - You send your swap on time and it meets swap's requirements or If you're late, you send me a private message about your situation. Then it's okay to be month or even two late! Just make sure to send me a notification.
Rating 3 - You send your swap really late and don't send me a message about it or Your swap doesn't meet the requirements.
Rating 1 - I didn't get your swap at all.

Tea

I love tea but please don't send those flavoured teas (e.g. strawberry, berries, vanilla, apple, many Lipton teas and so on...) I don't really like them so much (but if you send, my friends can use them so don't you worry). I like pure flavors like, Earl Grey, Roibos, flower petal teas, fruit peel teas and all different kind of mixes.
