Bio

I'm Mer and here I keep my workshop journal, and I also write about random stuff. Some of my posts are friends only, mostly the personal ones. The 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 keep workshop notes mainly as a resource for myself but I don't mind lurkers.
I don't friend back everybody since I have very limited time to read my friends page, which is already a lot.

I have ~~many~~ 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. Visit this entry for more info.

I'm a jewellery enameller, you can visit my website to see and read more about that. I also have an Etsy shop.

Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade

Apart from that, I am interested in many other crafts. I guess you can see some of that in my interests list. I also love to read, listen to music, watch movies... blah blah ;) I was born and lived most of my life in Barcelona, and the 20th of September of 2005 I moved to Belgium with my cats to live with my boyfriend.

I manage the community

fire_enamel (abour fire enamel over metals ;P) and keep the journal

millustree70_80, where I post 19th century fashion plates from my "La Mode Illustrée" magazines when I feel like it. Very picture heavy, 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.
