Introduction	Hi, I'm Leo. I have a Master's in Linguistics and twenty years of dancing experience. Art is a matter of necessity for me, so I will create something with whatever is on hand - I sing, I ballroom and swing dance, I have been known to work backstage, I draw and paint and sew, I write speculative fiction...but jewelry is how I share my art with other people. I love to give things away - if I could afford unlimited materials (and loans) I would give away everything I make, just to bring smiles... I've been making my own jewelry for years, and recently I've had enough requests that I simply can't afford not to set up shop. I get a lot of fulfillment and joy out of knowing that someone likes something I made for them - especially custom pieces, because then everybody wins! If you like my work, I would really appreciate your support, as it helps me progress. Your encouragement makes me able to learn more, and your financial support gives me access to more and better materials and tools. I expect my work to keep evolving, so don't forget to check back later as well!
Interests	Art in pretty much any form, dancing, singing, writing, drawing, painting, linguistics, statistics, mathematics, physics, biology, anything at all.
Favorite movies	Fight Club, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas
Favorite music	An eclectic assortment of most things, from video game and movie soundtracks to folk rock to Japanese metal.
Favorite books	The Wheel of Time Series, The Lord of the Rings, everything by Philip K. Dick, far too many to list, actually.

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?

I would delegate the deckhands to say it for me!
