Things you Geek About: Fibre arts; reading and writing; planning/bujo; candles. I'm not in any fandoms as such, but I'd be happy with things for: Netflix's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency; Six of Crows duology (particularly Kanej); Snatch 2017; Rivers of London; Leverage; Diana Wynne Jones's Dark Lord of Derkholm, Power of Three, or Howl's Moving Castle (but for the book, not the Ghibli movie. I don't dislike the Ghibli movie, but it's really not the same canon); fairy tales; I like cool colours and metallics.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: I have a touch-allergy to lemon grass, so it can't have had any contact with the plant or essential oil otherwise I'll be in A&E shortly afterwards (if you've used it in cooking then thoroughly scrubbing your hands and using a different workspace will be enough). Not keen on bright pinks; I'd prefer not to receive jewellery or edibles.
What country do you live in? UK
Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes.
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? Leatherwork, I make traveller's notebooks for a living; bookbinding; jewellery (I mostly work with resin, concrete and metal, gemstones, mica, metal stamping, occasionally fimo); I spin* and knit; small decorative/useful items (pen holders and plant pots, things like that, I work with concrete and air-drying clay); foiling; wax melts; paper flowers; book sleeves; artwork. I don't have any pets, so fur/dander won't be an issue, but because I spin there is other animal fibre in the house, and also soy and shellfish (I can easily not include it in the item itself, and scrub/hoover everything down before I start crafting, but if the allergy is severe then it could pose a problem - especially lanolin, since it's so difficult to get off).
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Possibly - if my main match was UK and the pinch hit is also UK then sure, but if my main match was international then it gets a bit too spendy on postage.
What about if shipping is paid for? Yes.
If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: First timer.



* quick query: since I spin, if someone lists knitting/crochet as a craft, would a themed skein of yarn be appropriate as a gift?

(sorry about the edits. I keep thinking of allergy information).
