Hi, I'm Nia, and I am interested in ATC's, Collage, Jewellery-making, Drawing/Painting, Knitting (but not an expert!), Altered Books, Rubber Stamps (especially eclectic), etc. I'm a Mum to two boys, aged 21 and 17. Born at end of July, so I'm a LEO. I have a Doberman/Rotweiler X called Cleo, and a mangy tomcat called Fatboyslim. My youngest son has a Jack Russell called TJ (after the singer Tom Jones). Favourite colours are PURPLE, black, red, silver and gold.

Anything by Robin Hobb, Charles Dickens, interested in Victorian history, especially books about the poor/working classes of that time. Altered Art/Craft books; History of Art; Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine is brilliant!

The Green Mile; Meet Joe Black (more interested in Anthony Hopkins than Brad Pitt!); The Lake House; Deja vu (Denzel Washington); Stigmata.

George Michael; Christina Aguilera; Amy Winehouse; Will Young; David Grey; White Stripes; Van Morrison; Craig David; Barbara Streisand; Tears For Fears; Whitney Houston; Simply Red; Ani Difranco; Regina Spektor; Beach Boys; The Eagles...

I love the work of Victoria Frances, very gothic, beautiful illustrations; Albrecht Durer (especially his beautiful 'Self-Portrait at the Age of Twenty-eight'); Turner; Leonardo da Vinci; Rubens; Raphael; Ingres; Mucha; etc, etc......
