Recently we've had to move into a much smaller space, so I don't have access to most craft materials. I'm also finding that I need more organic, less restrictive crafts in my life. When something being 1/4 inch too short is that critical- it's really not for me. So, I'll be sticking with things that let me be a bit freer with sizing/shapes/colors/etc.
My favorite music: Gogol Bordello, Katzenjammer, Gypsy Kings, Pink Martini, The Penny Black Remedy, Mastadon, Violent Femmes, Gossip, Beth Ditto, Kathleen Hannah, Sleater-Kinney, Neil Young, Matt King, Sturgill Simpson, etc.
Most importantly- I like whatever you wish to send me. This list should not be taken as anything I "require" to be sent to me. If it's from the heart, I will love it.
---Note: I'm allergic to wool.
I watch movies of all kinds but the quirkier the better. I am mad about antique keys. I love French things- music, food, cultural icons, and especially black and white images of Paris. My favorite flavors are coffee, chocolate, cherry, and coconut. My favorite color is green. Other than greens I tend to gravitate to purple as well as creams and other earth tones- if it's red I like rust, if it's blue I like slate. My favorite animal is the rat, favorite bird is the Raven, favorite insect? Probably butterfly.
I especially like reading modern fantasy and horror by authors like Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, and Stephen King. My current book is Crime and Punishment though, I don't tend to restrict myself to any one genre of literature.
If I had to choose an all time favorite book, simply for the impression it left on me, it would be "April Witch" by Majgull Axelsson. This is the passage I always seem to go back to: "I'd take one step backward and tip my head up so I could look him right in the eye. "Why did you make envy a sin, but not begrudging? It ought to be the other way around. It ought to be a greater sin to say don't let her have...! Than to say I want some too! Why should the have-nots, who have been denied everything, not even be allowed to want?"
It's a beautiful book.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Hi - You are my partner for the Read my Profile and Leave a nice Comment. I see we have some things in common, especially Skeleton Keys. :-) I make pendulums with different ones that I find here and there. And like you I love to read.
HI andria. I'm Rebecca from near to Toronto Ontario. I'm also a fan of coconut and chocolate and both together is even better! You should add a bit more to your profile. There's so much more if like to know about you. Then again, I do like a ing profile, mine might be one of or the longest on here!! I've read a few Atephen King novels but I stay away from the paranormal ones. I really liked 11/22/63 and it was amazing! If you know of any of his books that aren't paranormal, I'd love to know about them. Maybe leave me a note in your rating? I also really like images of Paris. I like black and white but a pop of colour is nice too. I'm working on a canvas right now that uses a huge Eiffel Tower cut from fabric. Have a safe and happy winter season!

Hello Andria! I can find little bits and pieces we share in common on your profile. Like you I love coffee, chocolate, and cherry flavors (not so much the coconut though). I haven't read much Neil Gaiman yet, but I am slowly working my way through "Good Omens" and I have really enjoyed it so far. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and have a lovely holiday season! Best, Megan - StagKing - Read my Profile and Leave a Nice Comment swap
