Name: Nenya (nenya_kanadka on here, AO3, Tumblr) Email: nenyagabriel@gmail.com
Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms): * Star Trek (especially DS9 and Disco; I love Trills and Bajorans; the VOY/DS9 uniforms are my favourites; Science (blue!) is my department; faves include Dax and Kira and Sisko and Janeway and Kat Cornwell and Philippa Georgiou and Michael Burnham) * Doctor Who (my Doctors are Thirteen, Nine, Eight, and Three) * Babylon 5 (especially Delenn and Minbari things) * Foreigner series by CJ Cherryh (atevi!) * The Expanse (TV show, Avasarala and Bobbie and the Roci crew, though I'm not real big on Holden himself) * Captain Marvel, Supergirl * Mass Effect (I'd love something N7-themed that wasn't black/red!) * Lord of the Rings (hobbits and elves) * science fiction and space stuff generally; time travel, rocketships, book-themed things, etc. * LGBT pride, especially bi/lesbian stuff (just don't make it wall-to-wall pink)
For fannish things I love both things that reference the fandom from a real-world perspective (like a TARDIS pattern on something) and things that could exist in-world (like a Beratnas Gas t-shirt or something with elvish script).
I love things to wear (shirts, soft cuddly sweaters, socks, belts, but no hats), things for my house (pillowcases, picture frames, flower vases, etc), things to put things in (boxes, bags, purses, cups for pens/pencils, even more boxes), things to look at (drawings/paintings/sculptures), things to eat out of (bowls, small plates, though I'm told we have too many coffee mugs already).
I love woodwork, leather goods, pottery, knitted/crocheted work, glass & metal jewelry, and handmade clothing. I also do paper and fibre crafts myself so I love things like interesting/handmade paper and fabulous pretty yarns.
Favourite colours: Blue! TARDIS blue, cool purplish-blues, warm turquoise-blues, bright blues and soft weathered blues. Also purples and greens (especially bluish-purples and bluish-greens). I tend to go for more mid-range tones than either pastels or neon. Rainbow anything is generally great, either in the sense of multiple colours in one item or in the sense of gay pride. (I'm also not against the bi flag colours! :D)
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: * No food or perishables (for shipping reasons--it likely won't keep) * Nothing religion-themed * No nickel in earring posts * No wool (in clothing--I can work with it but not wear it) * I love hats on other people but can never wear them myself :-( * Colour DNWs: Especially for clothing, I don't do well with things in the orange/red/brown colour range, olive green, dark navy, or black/white/grey (e.g. black t-shirts with a small design on them). Multicolour designs are great, and I really love things in blue/green/purple and jewel tones. I'm open to a lot more variety in colour in things I'm not actually wearing.
What country do you live in? Canada
Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? Happy to do either fandom or nonfandom things.
Crochet: I make a lot of hats, and can do other similar soft & cuddly things like scarves or small baby blankets.
Sock dolls: I make small (around 10" tall?) cuddly dolls out of crew socks + mostly upcycled materials. These have been fandom-related (the Eighth Doctor, a Starfleet officer), or can be non-fandom (modelled on a friend, a baby doll, a weird little alien). See pics for examples.
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? No
What about if shipping is paid for? Time is a concern more than shipping. I could whip up a cute crochet hat pretty quickly if I had the right yarn, though!
If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?: This is my first year participating! <3
Please let me know if I've missed anything! Can't tell if this is too long or not enough info, or if I should add more non-fannish interests...
