About Me

I'm tiipetti tyrannosaurus, a creature of thoughts and feelings. fire is my element.I'm a creative person- I do sculptures of strange dolls as a sideproject to ordinary life :) I love a good cup of coffee and a piece of dark chocolate to go with it. I live in a bubble of thoughts most of the time- have this capacity to shut off the world around me. disturbance can be very annoyin. but then again I get my inspiration from my beloved norweigan and my adorable daughter. without them I'd be nothing.and yes I do speak swedish and finnish, so: hej på dig och hyvää päivää!

My Interests

I do sculptures of strange dolls from clay, super-sculpey and steelwire. I also enjoy nordic walking every once in a while just to get a big dose of oxygen into my brain to stimulate any creative genes I've got...and to sort out the broken thread of thoughts I've managed to hoard in there. love to get my inspiration flowing.

I'd like to meet:

Ville Valo from HIM because he has a great charisma. his voice penetrates my brain, especially when he sings in finnish.Nick Cave- just to shake his hand and give him a hug...or kiss his feet. he has been a major influence in my life.

Music:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Tindersticks, 22-Pistepirkko, HIM, White Stripes, Hellström, CMX, Sielun Veljet, Anna Ternheim, José Gonzales, The Knife, Slagsmålsklubben, Snook...

Movies:

anything that requires an active brain

Television:

Lost

Heroes:

Moomin, Mumintrollet
