Dihtri

I'm a Graphic Designer in Orange County, California. I keep a visual journal and just about to finish my 2nd one by the end of January 09 (Here's hoping!) I love cutesy things like monkeys, owls, turtles, whales, and fruits and vegetables with faces :)

Various crafts I've done are: cross stitch, book binding, quilting (still a beginner), beading, clay, soft sculpture, especially sock monkeys. I'm just getting into ATC's, ACEO's, and inchies which I've loved for so long, but now I'm actually making them!

I like all sorts of music especially independent artists. Some favorites include Jake Shimabokura, Metric, Imogen Heap, Cake, Starpool, Asube Seksu, etc etc.

How to books and Self Improvement books: Make Your Creative Dreams Real, Caffeine for the Creative Mind, 7 Habits for Highly Effective People, and of course my sketch book and journal.

Arrested Development, Wonderfalls, Lost, Myth Busters, and some do it yourself stuff on the DIY/HGTV channels.

I collect different types of paper, textures and such. I love 100% pure cotton fabrics, embroidery floss, baby socks and things to color with. I don't like scrapbook embellishments as I don't use them that much, things like eyelets, sequins, and those 3D brad type things.
