I love going for long walks to observe plant and bird life, reading, language-learning (and creating!), making up stories for myself, playing all sorts of games - card games, board games, video games, anything else I can convince someone else to take up with me, and drawing fairies and cats! I paint professionally and I am learning how to embroider better - the dream is to learn sewing and knitting too, to make my own clothes! I love fashion and social history - I research local monuments and places for my artworks! I adore music and play the violin - want to learn more! Always more!
