Hello, Hello

[kage-no-ai.livejournal.com]

Hi, all. I've been a member of this community for quite some time, but I've only lurked. So, now I've decided to "come out of my shell," so to speak.

I've really enjoyed the ideas that have floated about in this community. You guys are really inspiring and make me want to do all sorts of fun things.

Right now, my main "craft" would have to be soap making. I've just gotten started and am experimenting with color and scents and all sorts of additives, from glitter to powdered milk to the contents of a tea bag. It's a lot of fun, and I find it relaxing.

I also make paper, and I'm currently trying to figure out how to pull some sheets that won't fall apart when I try printing cyanotypes on them. A cyanotype is a silver-less photographic printing process, for those who may not know. I'm a photographer, by the way. I shoot for both fun and profit. :)

Anyway, I thought I'd say "Hello" and finally join the community. That's all for now. ^.~
