What does your craft space look like?
I dont have my own home, so 2/3 of my bedroom is my craft space. I actually have clothes, felt, & fimo all in the same dresser! Its all just an organized mess really ...only i know where everything is. Last year my parents got me a big comfy chair, so i didnt have to craft on the floor or my bed anymore!
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
My hands & a pencil. Besides drawing, I usually sketch/plan out every craft before i make it also.
What do you craft along to?
Lots, Lots, & Lots of Rock Music! I love Nirvana, Korn, etc ...anything loud i can sing along to. I sometimes watch movies i've seen a million times (usually Tim Burton or cartoons), so i dont have to look up away from my work; just listen to it. ;)
Ashley's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
I enjoy drawing & making art the most, because ive been doing it the longest. But right now i'm really into making plushies of my favorite cartoon/movie characters, & reconstructing my own clothes. I'll craft anything to make my life a little more odd & unique. I love recycling things also, i hate throwing stuff away.
Ashley's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I want to learn to paint better. & train to be a tattoo artist.
Who are your crafting heroes?
I dont really have any. But music & punk/goth culture inspires me.

Theres so many, it changes all the time. I usually favorite all the dark/weird/unusual things ...like myself. But these 3 im still in love with & desperately need to make!: 1) Gas Mask Lamp...this would fit perfectly into my bedroom, & so useful! 2) Wolf Hood/Scarf...I really want to make a rabbit ear version! 3) Skeleton Tights...i'll wear anything with bones on it.
