Bertola

Hello, my name is Silvia and I am an italian girl. I live in Bologna, a city in centre-north Italy.

I enjoy very much crafting and through swapping I'd like to improve my skills!

I have been studying art in highschool and so I am a quite good drawer. I enjoy drawing but one of my biggest passions is photography. I have a Canon EOS 400D since Christmas and I take tens of photos per day. I also enjoy modifying them using Photoshop.

I like reading, taking photos, ride my bike trhough the city, travelling, listening to music...and much more!

I am quite good in working with paper: I enjoy making cards by myself (birthday cards, Xmas cards, etc) and bookmarks.

I also started learning how to make small dolls with "Maizena dough" (or paste) but it would be too dangerous to send them out, they're fragile.

That's also why I would like to discover some new craftworks. One of my current wishes is to learn how to work felt.

I listen to a lot of music, mostly rock music and indie. To name few bands I love, I would say Pearl Jam and Radiohead.

I have two black and white cats that I love named Stig and Berit, but my favorite animal ever is bunnies and I hope I'll own more than one when I'll live in my own place.

My favorite color is purple.

I love going to the cinema too or renting movies and watch them with my family or my friends. The best film I saw lately is Into the Wild.

I can't avoid to name some food I like, even if it's easy cos I like almost everything! Of course I love candies, almost all of them, and chocolate too. Being italian, I have a wide choice of food and wine I like, from the easiest to the most elaborate dishes. I like to discover new things, and I have no allergies.

Let's see...I don't quite like too pinky-glittering-childish stuff...I don't care about fashion, gossip and stuff like that...

Apart from all this, I think I can say I am not picky at all and that through swapping I'm really looking forward to discover new people, new stuff and new crafts.
