About me
A rather shy girl who spends too much time daydreaming. I’m always in a world of my own; far, far out in space. I enjoy the simple things in life (e.g. drawing on foggy windows) I’m a small picture kind of person but I’m very open-minded. I’m a pessimist with optimistic views. I have a passion in art and love exchanging artworks with others. I enjoy writing down unique and untranslatable words. I keep nice, meaningful quotes in a small jar bottle. I want to travel around the world some day because I like learning about foreign cultures and languages. I collect instant polaroid photos, artworks by others, all things Parisian, vintage clothing, zines, journals, and unique used stamps.
Interests
Main interests: Many things! I'm obsessed with fashion and cosmetics. I love vintage clothing and antique accessories (especially pocket watches and skeleton keys). I spend a lot of my time reading Fairy Tales, Greek mythology, superhero comics (Marvel), zines, and creating my own artworks. I love learning about different cultures and wish to experience it first-hand. I've always been fascinated by the human mind, anatomy/medical oddities, mental disorders, the supernatural, and creepy things. Oh, and I have a secret love for Elvis Presley.
Hobbies: drawing illustrations, painting (using mediums of oil, acrylics or watercolors), hand-making jewellery and accessories, making zines, collecting, daydreaming, writing down nice quotes, and reading.
