Geekery Members

 

Store: Charlotte Amoureux (baiserdelamour)
Artist: Charlotte
Role: Member since 2009

I like to make many items such as paper, bags, purses. All from different mediums. I've recently started making wallets out of fused plastic bags. I also make clutches out of vintage books. And, I reconstruct vintage clothing. I have so many ideas and get inspired to make things all the time.

My husband and I own two adorable little dogs, they're a mix. The boy is named Han (after Han Solo, my husband is a Star Wars fan) and the girl is Leia (Han's love interest in the movie haha).

We've only been married 4 months now and Han and Leia are our first animals together. I've previously owned a corgi, his name was Ein. He lives with my parents in California. We also have a bunny named Bailey. He's adorable but also shy.
