About Me

I am a 38 year old artist. I graduated from high school early to attend Columbia College Chicago. There I studied photography and earned a BFA with honors in Photography. I have since been working as a commercial photographer, photo stylist and graphic designer. I love to make things and share them with everyone else!

Favorite Music

The World/Inferno Friendship Society, Pat The Bunny, Depeche Mode, Amanda Palmer/The Dresden Dolls, Squirrel Nut Zippers

Favorite Books

David Sedaris, Neil Gaiman, Brett Easton Ellis, Grady Hendrix,

Favorite Movies

I am a hardcore horror movie fan but when I am not watching those I prefer documenteries

Favorite Crafts

I mostly crochet and scrapbook/paper crafts but I am learning slowly how to sew, knit and do some minor book bindning. I am open and interested in all crafts.

Favorite Colors

Black, Baby Pink, Chartreuse, Mustard, Teal, Cerulean, I love all colors but I am always drawn to super vibrant colors.

Favorite Various Things

I adore the original Nintendo, my Holga camera, Fuji Instax, nail polish, vegan cookbooks, She-Ra, My Little Pony, journals, Moleskins, makeup, yarn, crochet, Manic Panic, buttons, sheet music, the horror genre, baking, foxes, handmade stuffed animals, typewriters...

I ♥ Collections

Vintage and Retro cameras, blank or graphed journals, My Little Pony, Gel Pens, Yarn, Crochet Hooks, Instant Film (Like the Instax), 1" buttons/badges, Vintage cabochons, the Nightmare Before Christmas and Tim Burton, Edward Gorey, Betty Page, Crystals, Witchy/Pagan

Wishlist

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANYTHING THAT SMELLS OF SMOKE.

While I feel a little awkward posting a whishlist a lot of my swap partners asked for one so here it goes:

  • Moleskin Journals (blank or graphed)
  • Black Hardcover Blank Journals/Sketchbooks
  • Instax Film
  • Crystals
  • Conjure Oils
  • Incense
  • Anatomy Images
  • Vintage Flashcards
  • Candles
  • I don't care for anything religious, baby/child related as I am an Athiest who never want children

Thank you to my Angels!

Comment: Thanks so much for the stationary, envelopes and the funny women sayings are awesome. You really stuffed that envelope like a Thanksgiving turkey! There was so much in there. Thank you, I can't wait to use these for future swaps (especially penpaling).
Response: Yay! Anytime you'd like to swap just let me know! I loved swapping with you, espeially for things we no longer need or want but can pass on to others. Enjoy them!

Wow! Your crocheted granny squares are so pretty! Love the way you arrange your colors too=) Im fairly new to the Granny Squares Galore
group, and saw your post for 6x6 squares.I'm afraid my squares wouldnt be as neatly done as yours but could resist telling you how wonderful I think your projects are.

~~Leave a Nice Comment #2~~

Many Greetings, Courtney! I really enjoyed reading your profile, mainly because we share a lot of the same interests, but also because it has a lot of character. You really put yourself into it and your partners can tell a lot about your personality, likes, and dislikes.

I am also a photographer from the Chicago area! I do not have any formal training, however, but I admire that you went to Columbia College! Good for you! What a great school! :)

Have a wonderful June! Cheers, Heather

Hello Courtney! I am your partner from the "Leave A Nice Comment #2" swap. It seems to be that you are a really nice person. For some reason I really like people artists, maybe that is because I love art myself :) Horror movies are awesome and really nice to watch. I wish you luck in learning how to sew, knit and doing minor book bindning. Have a great day, Bruge :)
