I love crafting! I love embroidering. I make jewelry and small extras for home decor. The themes I usually use are tribal(Mayan), day of the dead, and nature. Im up for private swaps! I can make you things in the theme you love most! That being said I dont collect skulls or skull related items. I love birds and using them as a theme iN most of what I make. My given animal is the blackbird or crow so I absolutely love them. I very much love tattoos and am very into body modification. My husband is a tattoo Artist. I dont collect punk or rock items. I have a degree in anthropology so all the aspects of culture and roots inspire me. But my greatest inspiration is my daughter Maya!

My favorite band is nine inch nails.

I love cultural and tribal things. native american crafts, love buffaloes(bison), antlers, southwestern style, desert, cacti. embroidery. anything made with love! I like rubber stamps, bling, cardstock( especially Halloween and Christmas since they are coming up),cardmaking supplies, adhesive rhinestones, jars,thin permanent markers, zippers, country woods, bigfoot, handmade cards, unique or kitschy hair clips, hoops, whimsey jars. love nature and woodsy themed stuff, woodland animals. loons, deer, bears, porcupine, skunks, moose, mountain goat and rams. I love and cherish birds especially crows and blackbirds. Quetzals are close to my heart as well. I like odds.and ends. My daughters name on anything is beautiful. I like headwraps.( cloth bands I have really long hair and summer gets hot) Tattoos and body modification is part of who I am and my family as well. The tribal and ancestry aspect of tattooing is important to me not the commercial la ink or ed Hardy aspect. My profile picture shows one of the actual skullsize plaster sugar skulls I have made. I make tribal jewelry and I'm Mayan so I try my hand at embroidered jewelry. It all has been popular at the shows I do here at the local bar in Chicago. Steampunk is popular here too so I make things for friends for birthdays and holidays in that fashion.

My husband is an incredible tattoos Artist. I'm amazed every time I walk into the shop and see his work being permanently placed on someone. It makes me smile and proud. He's really into John Waters, Rat Fink, It's always sunny in Philadelphia, waynes world, and painting and drawing.

Maya is a complete galaxy of joy and love around my heart. She is the inspiration for everything I do. She's a lover of dance, drawing, yo gabba gabba, cats, dogs, kawaii, hello kitty, soft small and cute anything! She wears a size 2t or 3t.

I don't really like this category for handmade because I like anything made with love but...... you cant like everything and dont want anything to go to waste so.....I DON'T COLLECT SKULLS, OR ANYTHING WITH SKULLS or PUNK OR ROCK OR HALLOWEEN( unless I specifically join a Halloween swap! than I love the dark macabre side of Halloween) and PIRATE ITEMS, I do NOT like ed Hardy, skulls or anything with skulls, (i make them but dont collect them),trash, cheap stuff, fake kids craft feathers, body products (sensitive skin), Halloween stuff, swallows, butterflies, Disney stuff, religious things, sponge bob, stationery ( unless it's in my favorite themes listed in my wishlist/likes), dish cloths, oven mitts, food ( we're picky on what we eat and drink at home.) stickers and atcs I'm really picky about so pick and join specific themed swaps for those.PLEASE rate or comment when package is received. I put a lot of effort into what I send and it would be appreciated greatly and I will do the same for my partner.

I put a lot of effort and consideration into each swap and a rating, comment, at least a Thanks! is appreciated. We're all here to have fun and to give our partners an awesome package they'll enjoy and make they're day so a thank you is always nice so your partner knows you appreciated the time and effort they put into it.
