About Me
I'm used to be Embala here. I'm a caucasian woman beyond 50, short brown hair, greyblue eyes and with 1,56 meters too short for my weight Wink

When I should describe my personality - rather guarded and silent, almost shy and friendly (mostly) Wink It looks like more people are considering me a friend than I know. In my job I'm very correct, but at home a controlled creative chaos is normal.

I can enjoy being lazy at times - to my cat's delight. Kuschel (= Cuddling) just loves to use me as a cushion (and claims my arm right now).

My interests are listed at the right but ElfQuest requires the most of my leisure time the last few years - the art and stories hold me captive. My favorite chars are Strongbow, Venka and Two-Edge.
I learned about this comic 1984 - when the first German version was published and became a fan ... more or less this way Wink

*Ya think?* Disaproval. *You are too old for this!*

*... but ... this cover is too beautiful ...* Once more I had caught myself with a comic book in my hands - this comic book! *The wolf looks fantastic ...*

*You are an adult, are you?!* Once more I tried to make up my mind - should I really buy it? *Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy*

*These figures are so graceful ...* Once more I was too ashamed to pay for it at the cash desk. *... but elves are for children.*

The voice of reason (or my shyness) had prevailed over the instinctive wish to possess this album - if only for cover art's sake. I didn't know that it was too late already ... I would return again ... and again ... and finally buy it - read it - fall in love forever.

....................................................................................................The Beginning

(from April grab-bag)

My so called Art Threads - collages made of ElfQuest art
Embala's ElfQuest Collages - collages just for fun, fan fic illustrations, and more
Embala's Avatars and Banners - feel free to chose from
Waiting for Christmas - an Advent calender I hope to revive every year
Easter EggQuest - a little fun around Easter ... will be continued?
EQ's Little House of Horror - Halloween ideas ... will be renewed ... then and now

my Dollz threads
Embala's Series and To-Do's ... - made from doll makers, tweaked and edited
Embala - not really elfin - my OC ... dollz made by me and gifts from friends

and some other stuff I've started and like to keep track of ...
By any other name ... - name translations of Elves and Trolls and others
Movies
In general Fantasy, SciFi (bit of a Trekkie), Western ... I'm not the one running to the movie theater, though.
I would run for the EQ film - definitely!
Interests
Elfquest - collecting, reading, enjoying the amazing art! This Forum - enjoying fan art and fan fiction, contact with other members, making EQ collages and EQ "dollz".

I'm doing various arts and crafts - tiffany flowers, Easter eggs, flower fairies and mermaids, making my own "jewelry", flower sculptures from minerals ... not that I have much time for it right now ...

Last not least I'm sort of a "mad collector": crystal figures, minerals (stone, sculptures, jewelry), wood bowls ... I'm sure I've forgotten something

Reading (before I ran out of time due to other activities), mainly fantasy, science fiction and crime novels. Not really any comics besides EQ - Forgotten Realms if anything.
Music
I'm not a regular listener at all - no special interests either. A bit of pop, rock, country ... no preferred artists, just single songs.
