Mmk I'll keep it short.

I love reading, generally fantasy, sci-fi and Manga. I am a retro gamer and prefer the pixel games and RPGs. I like watching Anime as well. Most of my sketches are in the Manga style, but I have had quite a bit of practice in realism, and just don't prefer it as much because of the fun factor.

When I was 10, I was taught to crochet left-handed despite being right handed, by my mentor, friend and babysitter, Bonnie, in which I practiced until my hands were raw and bleeding (darned yarn, lol I was determined).

Shortly after that I picked up a love of beading and began coming up with small motifs, based on crochet doilies and snowflakes.

Other than that, I amateurishly photograph things I find interesting, and am trying new things all of the time, like making temari...and failing badly at bobbin lace : P

I strongly believe that anyone can accomplish anything as long as they put in the effort to practice. That's my way of thinking, and I stubbornly stick to it. See where it got me? : D
