A Girl with Passion for Decoupage and Figure Skating – My Intro Post:)
Hello, Steemfolk! My name is Victoria, I’m 28 years old and I love art, décor, design and handmade. In a word, I love to make everything around me beautiful. ha ha
You know, I’m happy to become a part of this amazing community, which grows rapidly day by day. I have little idea what cryptocurrency and Bitcoins are and how do they work – oops:) But I really love the idea of Steemit, it is a new and fresh idea. It is fantastic that people can share their thoughts, ideas, examples and life stories for free and earn. Really Steemit turned my world topsy-turvy! Ha ha hah
Crazy for decoupage…
Well, I have a lot of hobbies like painting, sewing, photography, travelling…but my true passion is handmade décor and decoupage. Have you ever heard of it? If no, I tell you. Decoupage is a special technique of decorating various items with paper images…so easy:). You cut a part of the paper image or napkin, apply it to the surface of the chosen item and cover with glue and varnish, that’s it.
For the first time it was just a hobby, but now I have my own studio; I give private lessons of this technique. I will definitely share my secrets of success in other posts and post master classes as well. I hope that some of the Steemians will love decoupage and enjoy the process of decorating.

Something more about me…Spoooooorts!
I’m keen on figure skating. I’ve been going in for figure skating (ice skates and roller skates) for 7 years. But my story is a bit different than one of professional sportsmen. I didn’t attend any sport school and didn’t have a professional sports coach. Internet and I myself were my teachers:). But one person helped me to do my first steps, he is not a professional sportsman as well, but is pretty good in figure skating only because of his persistence.
For you not to be tired of me, I’ll tell you about figure skating in my life in other posts.
Well, I’m happy about the idea that Steemians can post their real life stories as they are. You know, I’ ve got shivers down my spine while reading some of the stories on Steemit. Thank you all. Please feel free to ask me any questions or give me your inspiring ideas…May be you can advise me how to do a triple toe loop? ha ha
……aaaaaand…….. I'd be happy if you follow me @victoriart
I brought that kind of figure skating roller skates, too! I have been doing ice figure skating. I found it difficult to adjust to these kind of roller skates :( I feel very restricted and the moves are different. Do you feel the same? How did you adjust that?
Yes, you're right, ice skating and roller skating are different. Roller skates are a bit heavier than ice skates and the skating surfaces are different. For the first time it was difficult for me to do roller figure skating and besides I was afraid of falling down. It is so painful when you fall down on the pavement (roller skating rink). But now it's all right with me and I don't feel this difference. Though there are some figure elements which I can do on ice skating rink and can't do on roller one:)
Simply Great Information and Presentation
Thank you!
several years ago, I was putting on my pair of inline skates every weekend.
now, I'm more into taichi.
Taichi is a kind of martial art?
yes, but it's so slow moving not like systema and many people think it cannot be martial art but it's good for sense of balance. Those years of inline skates were not wasted.
