You are: Boiling with ideas!
You would like to be: More zen, more confident.
3 items to take to a desert island: Colored pencils, paper and my apple peeler.
What has been your most bizarre life experience: Yesterday, when I met ‘General de Gaulle’ at the bakery. He bought macaroons and gave me a nice wink.
A super power you would like to have: The power to make troublemakers disappear.
If you ruled the world: Recovery of the National Service (Military), with a special crochet hooking training instead of using arms. ‘Vache-qui-rit’ (the laughing cow) free for everyone, a worldwide Ministry of Tenderness and good humor.

In ‘real’ life
—
Happy alone (with Instagram), in love, married or it’s complicated: A bit of everything at once.. and it’s complicated!
You love: My string cords, my friends, my apple peeler.
You can’t stand: Jealousy, pettiness, badly peeled apples.
A song that best describes you: ‘Isabella’ by Moriarty… or ‘La reine des pommes’ (the apple queen) by Lio!
Your hobbies: I have trouble differentiating my professional activities and my hobbies. Painting, photography, crocheting… It all blends into each other, all day, every day, 365 days a year!
A trip you dream of: A trip through time.
A quote: Heureux les fêlés, car ils laissent passer la lumière by Michel Audiard (Imposible to translate)
A wish: That everybody would be creative!
Some-one you admire: The guy who invented the apple peeler. I don’t know who he is, but it’s awesome. (We did some research; it was David Harvey Goodell in 1864 and he called it the “the Lighting apple parer.”)
What more must we know about you in one phrase: I love life, I love creating.

Your life on Instagram
—
Your Instagram birthday: December, 14th 2010
iPhone, Android, DSLR: iPhone
How did Instagram change your life: Instagram awoke my passion for photography. It also allowed me to get in touch with a lot of people that I would never have met without this App.
Instagram for professional or personal use: Both. As I mentioned before, both sides are part of my life.
Define your style in one word: Dashing!
Daily time spent on Instagram: 23 hours and a half!
Favorite hashtag: #drawing #crochet
A filter: I never use filters
An App: SigNote
Pictures that make you laugh on Instagram: @woopix’s pictures
Pictures that must be forbidden on Instagram: We should punish severely all those who take photographs with a bad taste. For example, they all should stand in the corner until after lunch.
An improvement for Instagram: It would be nice if it was also a weather station, toothbrush … and an apple peeler.
Life without Instagram would be: Less fun, less enriching, but more relaxing too!
An Instagram user we can’t miss: She is only 16 years old and makes great pictures of my village @perrin_
Anything else? I am very happy and proud to have gained my place on Instagram.

Thank you very much Isabelle, I am very fond of your work! I hope you keep on sharing the beauty of art and happiness.
