I stated MissMandyMariesShop to start a dream. My dream is to make a living selling my art and spreading my name across the nation and hopefully someday the world. My first passion is using wire and other 'odd' or interesting objects to make my pieces. The main pieces that I sell here are wire trees, and some jewelry that I also love to make. My Second passion is fiber arts. I love to spin my own yarn, and to crochet things like necklaces and bracelets. Accessorizing can be so much fun when you are making the objects yourself! I would love to do custom piece for someone, and would love to talk to you about any custom piece you may want or need! I can do my trees, scarves, bracelets or necklaces custom made!
Like I said everything in my shop is hand made. I find the cups for my trees at thrift stores, I buy my wire in bulk online, my beads come from a local bead store, my fabric is either bought at Joanns or online but I plan to start buying local on that front too. I want to support small businesses, it's something that is really important to me!
My most "hand made" items would be my hand spun hand dyed wool scarves! I make the yarn myself, dying it with cool aid or food coloring and lemon juice. Then I spin the wool into yarn using a drop spindle, and then I crochet it into a scarf!
