I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i like creativity and i love nature. i like to create things and try to remain engaged and inspired by life and the landscape around me, particularly if that landscape happens to be beautiful. I'm pretty happy at the moment spending my time between the leafy suburbs of melbourne, frequent dashes into the chic melbourne cbd, and escaping to the far north of cairns as frequently as i can to let my hair down. and inbetween trawling various secondhand markets, trash and treasure markets and op-shops, collecting as much inspiration as I can manage to fit in a small bedroom or suitcase!

My Interests

*Clothing/jewellery design and construction *music, listening and hopefully creating soon *Op shopping (hoarding), visiting rummage markets *Nature as inspiration *Footy in the Melbourne winter

I'd like to meet:

likeminded souls

Music:

Electronica, downbeats, soundscapes Rainforest nature noise soundtracks Warm scratchy layered sampled electronic music...the more homemade the better Radiohead as longstanding fave band, Elbow emerging as new fave. Blur and Gorillaz mainly for Damon Albarn That opens up the whole BritPop/Manchester can of worms ...and so much more...

Movies:

nothing better than a spare lazy afternoon and watching a classic Woody Allen filmsee TV

Television:

Futurama, Simpsons, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Felicity, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Blackadder, Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks etc etc. I'm going through my box set collection...and any football game that might happen to be on TV

Books:

my bookshelves overflowing say there are far too many to mention, from poetry to neuroscience textbooks, from fashion illustration to pattern making, art to fiction to all through the dewey decimal classification really. hence the shortsightedness I have developed hahaoh, and we musnt forget the extensive fashion magazine collection that is clearly taking over the house

Heroes:

heroes? maybe hercules or icarus...defintely not anyone contemporary.heroes are positive, creative, open and warm individuals engaged with this wonderful life
