Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms): Craftwise, I've been involved in jewelry crafts since my early teens, so that's about 40 years (yikes!). I'm lucky enough that there's a local bead store near me that actually encourages people to just hang out and make stuff, so I get to geek about beadwork every Saturday. I love creating for friends but I hate actually selling anything, except on commission. Fandomwise, I'm currently enjoying Kingsman (first movie, not second), White Collar (old fandom delight), The Flash (first and second season only). I have a fannish interest in Inspector Morse, Lewis (written just a few stories for Lewis, but have read many) and I have the first season of Endeavor to watch still.
That being said, I don't have any particular interest in receiving a fannish gift, but if my recipient wants something fannish, I'll be happy to try and make it.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: No food, please.
What country do you live in? U.S.
Are you willing to ship internationally? The rates for international shipping have skyrocketed, but if the recipient does not want a speedy delivery, I can manage first class mail.
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? I currently do many different kinds of beading – bead weaving, bead embroidery, pearl stringing and knotting, and kumihimo (with and without beads). My preferred materials are glass beads, natural stone, pearls of all shapes and sizes. I work in all colors except black, and generally take a very holistic approach to creation (which means I kind of suck at following patterns and prefer to invent my own designs once I learn a technique). I would be happy to gift a custom-made necklace in a style my recipient would like. I tend to enjoy working on larger, showier pieces, but I can scale back if I have to.
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? Yes.
What about if shipping is paid for? I'll ship in the US, priority mail, and will not require that it be paid for.
If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: Did not participate in the last round.
