I'm 36, and I'm a bartender by trade. I love crafting all kinds of things, and I love swapping with other crafters. I'm pagan, although I don't subscribe to any set tradition. I mostly focus on the elements and nature, but I also enjoy goddess study. I consider my style to be a mix of a lot of things, influenced by current trends, the music I listen to, and really anything that strikes my fancy on a particular day. I really only wear t-shirts (almost exclusively black) and jeans to work, although I try to dress up my wardrobe with accessories, particularly hair accessories, bandanas wrist cuffs and necklaces. I have multiple tattoos and piercings, and I'm still working on my tattoo collection!

My favorite color is black, but I also like blues, greens and other ocean-y colors, reds, pinks, purples, really anything but too many oranges or yellows. I have a passion for all things Star Wars, particularly Darth Vader and the Death Star. I like the triple moon, skulls, anchors, tattoos, stars (nautical and otherwise), fleur de lis, spirals, trees of life, pentacles and goddess figures, mandalas, lightening bolts and bullets. My favorite embellishments are studs and spikes. I love books and reading! I love vintage tattoos. I adore all things Piscean. Also, I love video games, especially original Nintendo stuff. I'm into witchy and magical things, the moon, fish, skulls, pirates, Toulous-Lautrec, flappers and Prohibition Era things, Eward Gorey, vintage music instruments and equipment, vintage nude photographs, pin-ups, fairy tales, mythology (many different pantheons), The Big Lebowski, Alice in Wonderland...the list goes on!
