About Me:

I'm a 34 year old artist from Melbourne, Australia. Born to a blacksmith and a hotel maid, my favourite colours are black and grey and you can find me rummaging in the closest dumpster or arm-deep in the cheap box at the thrift. I collect scissors, star-shapes and dinted pewter, and I also play bluegrass guitar.

Gender:

Gal

If you like to take your tea at Miss Havishams and don't mind a bit of patchwork on your elbows, welcome home.
