What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Maker, reader, cook, fixer & finder.

I love making and doing almost as much as I enjoy eating and reading. Almost. I work in metal, glass, plaster, clay & fabric. I'm always learning, designing, experimenting with new materials, and generally filling my life with cool things.

I'm a classically trained French chef (in the sense that I was taught by drunk European chefs who believed in cruel punishments issued for arbitrary reasons), but I'm not a foodie. I escaped into libraries and I'm not coming back out until the world gets saner or I get bored.
