Fellow crafter...
Date: 2018-04-22 01:10 pm (UTC)I apologize in advance, but I am a newbie when it comes to exchanges. To be honest, I signed up more to have a reason to craft than to receive something. But since I love crafting so much, it seemed fair to give a fellow crafter a chance too.
My colors are purple and green (seriously, we painted our house purple and green both on the outside and inside). I love science (although quantum physics breaks my brain) and the history of things (I have read the history of paper, forks, bookshelves, etc.).
I grew up in the 70’s where strong female characters were thin on the ground. Princess Leia was formative for me and Carrie Fisher even more so. I also loved classic Wonder Woman comics where the storyline spent a lot of time on her back story and life as an Amazon. Of course, I adored Lynda Carter as well.
But my favorite verse is the Whedonverse. I am a die hard Browncoat and Zoe is my favorite. I love the comics as well and her ongoing storyline. My favorite characters in Buffy are Willow, Tara, Oz and chipped Spike. And Dr. Horrible is amazing!
My latest passion is Black Panther. The women of Black Panther filled me with joy. Especially Okoye, who so viscerally embodies the conflict between living one’s values and one’s own wants and desires. To paraphrase Spock, she understands that the needs of the many sometimes outweigh the needs of the few or the one.
FWIW, in the Potterverse I am a Ravenclaw (in case that isn’t already abundantly obvious).
As far as crafting for me, I am flexible. Pretty much any medium will work. And while I cannot bring myself to dog-ear a page or write in a book, crafts that use books or comics are ok with me. I see them as transformational art rather than destructive. And I am a huge fan of up cycling.
Hopefully that gives you all the fodder you need. But really the most important thing is that whoever crafts for me takes joy in the creative process. I find that no matter what is created, creations made with joy and love are always the best!
Thanks and keep flying!
