Hi Steemit! I'm Echo

Hi, Steemit! My name is Echo. Happy to be here.

Thanks @web-gnar for showing me the glory of Steemit!

I guess I should attempt to describe myself. Let's seee...

I'm a creative person. I like to make music, draw, paint, write, book-bind, collage, sew, and basically just create things with my hands.

Some books I've made:

Some things that I like:

• adventures big & small

• encounters with ghosts
• learning about the brain
• books
• skateboarder-conspiracy-theorist-artists with French names

I'm not exactly sure what I will be posting here on Steemit, but... I think I'd like to treat this as a sort of creative journal. To share creative projects and things that I find inspiring with the people of Steemit.
I learn a lot of interesting facts at work, so I'd like to share some of those with you, too. For example, today I learned that Batu Khan (the grandson of Genghis Khan) lived in an ordo (a yurt/tent on wheels) that was decorated with gold and big enough to fit a thousand people inside.

I had some trouble uploading a profile picture earlier, and one guy said that the easiest way to upload one is to drag it into a post and then use the picture URL from that post to make it your profile picture. So, I'm going to put that here, if you'll pardon me.

Thanks for checking out my first post! Bye for now. :)
