I'm Mer even thought I starter this journal as a personal diary, nowadays it mainly serves the purpose of workshop journal, I still use it as a personal diary, but most of my personal posts are friends locked.
All workshop posts are public, if you add me to read those, which you can do without asking, you will see them without me friending you back.
I don't friend back everybody since I have very limited time to read my friends page, which is already too long for me to keep up with everyone and everything (please do not take it personally).
I have a few filters to read, and some to post too, but I don't use those very often. If I have friended you, you can request to be added to a few of those filters. See this entry for more info.
If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a jewellery enameller, this is the link to my website. I also have an Etsy shop.
I am also interested in other arts & crafts. You can see some of that in my interests list. I also love to read, listen to music, watch movies... etc ;)
As a very short bio, I was born and lived most of my life in Barcelona, where I studied arts & crafts specialising in fire enamelling, and the 20th of September of 2005 I moved to Belgium with my cats. My partner is Flemish, that's why.
I manage the community
fire_enamel (about fire enamel over metals) and keep the journal
millustree70_80, where sometimes I post 19th century fashion plates from my collection of "La Mode Illustrée" magazines. I do this when I feel like it, I have some spare time, and there is good light (so mostly not in winter). This is a very picture heavy journal, with no lj-cuts. That is the gallery of my website about... "La Mode Illustrée" fashion plates :P but it can be easily browsed from LJ too. Use the tags.
