Hey there, I am Ellisif and I would like to introduce myself and my art to the Steemit community!

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

Hello Steemit!

My name is Ellisif Ýr Heiðdal and I am a 26 year old creative soul.
Originally from Iceland, I have lived in multiple places in the US as well as in Denmark throughout the years, and despite the many changes in my life I have always been able to express myself through the freedom of creativity and art.
I currently live in Denmark and work as a freelance textile and garment assistant while studying to become a full fledged tailor and patternmaker.

In my spare time I love exploring many different artforms and I always want to learn something new, whether it be different techniques to something I already know or a completely new way working with something all together. I know it's an impossible goal, but I want to be the all-knowing artist, never limited to the lack of knowledge!
I sell a lot of my creations and also do custom orders if that has any interest.

Some of the artforms I have immersed myself in the most would include (but are not limited to):

• Drawing (traditional and digital)
• Painting
• Photography
• Special Effects Makeup
• Sculpting
• Sewing
• Creating accessories

I plan on sharing photos of my work, both progress and final pieces, talk about my experiences and give advice if that is ever desired. I would love to hear what you think of my work and my plans and if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way!

At last I would like to share a small portion of my work below (some of it still in progress).

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my introduction and I hope you've enjoyed your stay so far!
I can't wait to share more work with you and to hear your opinions.

Love,
Ellisif Ýr Heiðdal

Hi @xedria (I cannot spell your real name, lol), welcome to Steemit. With pictures like those above you can make it far on Steemit.

When I arrived on Steemit a few weeks ago I was very confused how this all works. I read through hundreds of articles about the dynamics of Steemit and finally wrote this The Ultimate Guide for Steemit Beginners: Money, Posts, Design, Topics, Bots, Behaviour, Community and Apps. I wrote it for YOU. Normally I wouldn't post my links into others comments unasked. But the massive positive feedback from my readers made it my mission to help newcomers finding this post quickly. Feel free to ask any questions. I will try to answer them all. I apologize if you are not interested in this and I will not further disturb you.

@xedria your welcome to steemit platform. Your artworks are so nice. I love them. Just try and make friends. Be active in the platform. Have fun. I wish you success.

Thank you @hynet!

Your welcome, please do check my blog for a review post i deed on one of the ladies that are working hard in the community just to encourage her, may be you should check it out.

Followed an upvoted! I look forward to see what you post! I am from Norway, so we are practically neighbours! If you like photographies, you should check out my latest post, I have taken pictures of some of the beautyful roses in Gimle botanic garden in Kristiansand. If you visit Kristiandsand in the summer, you have to visit it.

Thank you @dafro! I have never been to Norway but I would really like to visit sometime. I hear it's beautiful!

Welcome to Steemit !

What a fantastic waistcoat - You should be very proud of the ability to make such beautiful creations.

Thank you so much @rpettigrew. I love making waistcoats so I will most likely be posting more of those in the future!

I' have to follow you now, as I really want to see more of these!
I'm entering an eccentric phase of my life and a big part of it is fashion based. I'm an office worker who is bored of wearing the standard suit, so funky waistcoats are a must!

I have a couple of funky waistcoats planned at the moment, I'll most likely share my process from sketches to finished products along th way! I agree, a lot of menswear is (unfortunately) very standard and boring - no matter how well made it is. A little pop of detail can go a long way!

Definitely agree, its the little differences that make the most impact.

I'll look forward to seeing them.
