Bio:
I have always loved making something out of nothing and using what is on hand to create. It started out with cooking and has morphed into crafting. Its sounds as if the two don’t go hand in hand, but they do. I’m working with my hands in a creative way to produce things I love, that is where I have found my passion. It so exciting to work with wire because it is so versatile. Wire is so easy to work with, affordable and forgiving. You can connect pieces together whether it is an old rusty washer, a piece of sea glass or a gemstone. With wire you can embellish in a decorative way and make it into something very unique. I continue to explore the possibilities of objects I can wire into something new and creative in jewelry design as well as crafting my “upcycled artwork”. -- Michelle Jarrett
