Lina Eklof's Page

My name is Lina. I am a Swedish woman with a huge passion for anything creative. I live on an island off the southeast coast of Sweden in a house with a garden and the beauty of nature all around me. I am into a lot of different crafts and art forms, but have a special passion for textile art and jewelry making. I needlefelt cats and dogs on commision, design cross-stitch and embroidery patterns, design and make collars and accessories for cats and dogs and make jewelry of different kinds. I also love working with paper, yarn/thread, clay and beads. I share my life with two beautiful dogs, my Bernese Mountaindog mix, Maggie and my Chinese Crested mix Ellie. My three cats Wilma, Maya and Signe assist me in my studio and give me lots of lovely cuddles alI through the day. I work from home as a freelancing writer and translator and also work as a vocal coach. I love to write, both fiction and music/lyrics. As you can tell I have a hard time limiting myself to only one or two things. This is both a blessing and a curse, at times. Wish I knew a way to add more hours to the day, but that is one craft I have yet to investigaten ;). I love books and reading, watching movies and well made TV series. Music is a big part of my life and I like a lot of genres, but am a sucker for a great voice. Pop, Rock, R´n´B and Country are closest to my heart and are also the genres I write for. I love dollhouses and miniatures as well as other types of dolls, such as Blythe, Ellowynne Wilde, Pullip, BJD´s and Momoko.
