Rather nice crafts

I already have a blog with plenty of entrys going on. The problem is that it is mostly in Finnish and all my friends abroad feel left out as I am not writing much in English anymore. After a friend started not only one but two blogs, I had to teach her how to allow comments from anyone. That leaded to starting this blog. Well. Lets see.

I am Pörrö Sahlberg from Finland. I have two kids and I have been doing crafts and arts more and less profecionally for about a decade. I have a website at
http://porro.claymountain.com/ where you can see some of my works.

My Finnish language blog also has some arts and crafts in English.

On the end of January I started a Finnish language crafting forum "Ihan Itse". It has grown more rapidly than I ever anticipated, so I have had my hands filled with that too.

My crafts include lots of polymer clay, mixed media, jewelry, collages, crocheting and knitting (mostly decorative, not usefull). I also do some papercrafts, stamping, altered books, wall pieces, wedding crafts etc. I love to learn new techniques and I am mostly learning them from internet and books. I love recycling old stuff to create something new and I have WAY too much craft supplies and fleamarket finds to fill my house.

So there, now you know something about me.
