CraftyReflections

I've been away for a year but I'm back and super excited to start swapping again.

Life has been pretty crazy we just moved and are in dire need of some wall decor.

My husband and I live in Southern Maryland with our Kitty cat. We were married on 11/11/11.

I went to art school, which in turn created the opportunity to study in Italy 10 years ago this fall. I always thought that I would have made it back before my Passport runs out. It looks like it might be another 10 years, before I'll be able to get back there.

It wasn't until later that I watched my first anime in my adult life. It was Ghost in the Shell: Innocence at the local Art Gallery, movie theater and music venue. It changed my life, and from then on I was a huge fan of anime, and sparked an interest in Japan, Japanese Culture, Japanese history, eastern philosophy, and eastern spirituality.

I have very eclectic taste, from the outside one would call me a hippie or BoHo and that's pretty true, but I also love goth stuff, scary and cute. I like cute Kawaii things also. I dig cosplay, I go to Renaissance festivals (when I can... work interferes) I like corsets. (But don't wear them often) Cute Woodland speaks to me lately-- trees, owls, deer, rabbits, birds, mushrooms, squirrels, and mice

I am a Pagan, so I have a strong interest in ancient history, and ancient mysteries. There isn't any Pantheon I gravitate to. Though I will say that I am Irish, so I am always interested in Irish lore.

I love to do a number of crafts. It changes all the time Lately I've just been making ATC. Sometimes they are digital, sometimes they are hand painted, sometimes hand drawn, sometimes collages. I just taught myself how to knit not too long ago. Still a bit shaky so I won't be joining any swaps like that for a while until I get some more practice in.

I like to do macrame, but I only know a couple stitches so its mostly hemp necklaces and anklets with some beads, shells, sea glass.

He makes electronic music on Frooty LOops, if anyone would like to trade their music. His favorite bands are Deftones, Tool, Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Mastadon, He likes dubstep, and Trip Hop, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, ICP (Woop! Woop!), The Flaming Lips...

Some of his favorite movies and TV shows are, The Boondocks, (which is the only anime we seem to agree on) Dale and Tucker Vs Evil, Lunanopolis, Pontipool, Evil Dead, Donnie Darko, Southland Tales, Christmas on Mars, A Scanner Darkly, They Live, and that's all I can think of Right now. He likes trippy movies.

He likes paisley patterned butten downs from the thrift store.

His favorite candy is Haribo gummy Bears. He likes BBQ chips, he loves blueberries.

I've been holding off on this because there are too damn many. So I'm going to give a few genres, I love B Horror movies, old Sci Fi & old monster movies, I love the Cinematography in Rob Zombies movies, Zombie Movies in general, I can dig on some Anne Rice vampire action and some Bram Stokers Dracula action, and even some Nosferatu 1922 silent film action. But I can't dig on Twilight. (I guess I'm too old... I don't know.) UFO, and Alien Abduction type, Ghosts and Poltergeist type. Anime and cartoons. Japanese/Asian Horror. Steven King Cartoon network and [adult swim].

I love all kinds of tea, but my favorite would have to be Earl Grey. I love seasonal coffees like Pumpkin spice or ginger spiced and flavored creamers like vanilla or sweet cream or caramel. Also I LOVE hot apple cider. I grew up in Connecticut so it always reminds me of home. Oh and yummy hot chocolate. :)

As for food, again seasonal flavors. Like Pumpkin bread, gingerbread, in the fall and winter. Spring and Summer more fruity like strawberry and peach. Or sugar cookies.

As for chips and candy I like the wavy or ruffled kind of plain chips, cheesy or sour cream and union flavored chips, and crunchy cheetos, For sweets I like gummies, (bears, worms, ect) chewy candies like Hi Chew or something like it. Dove Milk or Dark Chocolate. Oh and strawberry or chocolate pocky. I love that stuff.
