I am currently a graduate student studying textile/fiber art. Its a long process and thankfully swapbot has provided just the procrastination justification i need!! I like unusual things, strange animals and creatures. I love to bead and make assemblage sculptures. I have a sense of humor, and I like receiving eccentricities! I want to travel back to England, it was the best time of my life. I have 2 cats and I desperately want a boston terrier, and since I cannot get one yet, I got a tattoo of one!

felt creations, eaten creations, anything interesting and cute!! I always pick up things off the ground- these unusual objects have history, and are beautiful in their own way. I enjoy sewing fabric and paper. My favorite artists include many bead artists, modernist sculptors and fiber artists. I recently have grown to really love the dutch painters. I love working with felted balls too.

I love greens, reds and deep purples. I recently painted my living room green, avacado green, and it is the most relaxing room in the entire house! I love anything metallic gold or silver or rusty old things!

pop music and old new wave
