I'm a thirty-something girlie working in an adrverticing agency.

I love Crafting with polymer clay (so there will be hand made polymer embellishments in my ATC cards), I'm a jewelry nut and I heart everything cute. I like hand crafted jewelry, but I like it stylish, like something that could be worn at work. And my workmates are already gotten used to my whacky prooches :)

With handcrafting, I appreciate new ideas, handmade and recycled materials, crocheting, drawing and painting by hand and mixing different crafting styles.

I like: Scarabs, pop art, old wall papers, cats, chrystals, Betsey Johnsson bags, Europe, strawberries, internet, fan fiction, jewelry, russian nesting dolls, toy robots, butterflies, rainbows, nick-nacks and fleamarket findings with a victorian era feel, kitch, dark chocolate, lace. I appreciate retro 70s look in clothes and especially in interior decorating.

I don't like that much: Angels, hard sugar candy, gothic, Disney, Nightmare Before Christmas, incense, candles. No sugar gum, please, since I only eat xylitol gum.

My style: I don't have a style! ;) I just bought my first place an people are asking me in what style I'm going to decorate it. I always say that I don't follow a style, I just gather furniture and other stuff that I really really like, and hope that it will look boheme instead of a flea market back room :) For example, I don't like birds as pets but I still have this marvelous round bird cage only as a decoration.

I'm living in the city of Helsinki, Finland, Europe.

I collect

• 80's My Little Ponies (the first generation) and merchandice
• Pilgrim Jewelry and cameos
• All kinds of prooches and pins (no badges though), especially old art deco, 70s retro plastic and all kinds of interesting pieces. I love the scarab ones but all bugs and beetles will do ;)
• All kinds of costume jewelry that is bright or cute colored

My number one favorite is polymer clay crafting (Fimo, Sculpey etc.) for jewelry, ornaments, home decor and paper craft embellishments. I heart mixed media, meaning crafting with flea merket findings :)

I also like printing textiles, mainly T-shirts and bags. I also always keep my eyes open for doll house parts since my sister is a do-it-yourself doll house nut.

Recently I have started making ATC's but no worries, I have years of art studies to back me out with making them ;)

I like Supernatural, Stargate Atlantis, House, Entourage and Grey's Anatomy.
