My name is Michelle. I was born and raised in Ontario Canada. I’m from the city of Toronto. I’m 32 years old. When not in my studio, I love spending time with my hubby and our rescued kitty Buckets. My hubby is my high school sweetheart.
How did you get started in your handmade business?
I went to school for dental hygiene and realized that I prefer life as an Indie artist. My love of crafting began when I took my first crayon to the wall. I’ve been hooked ever since!
Have you experienced any major accomplishments or recognition?
I have attended many art shows and have been interviewed. Other than that no real major recognition. But in due time I am hoping to achieve this. I would love to have Sparklingtwi recognized and loved. Having others wearing something that I created would be a dream come true.
Have you ever experienced a craft disaster? What happened?
I was once designing a bracelet and had a friend over admiring my newly half created piece. She picked up the bracelet at one end and before I could stop her, the beads all came unstrung and scattered all over the floor, lost some beads and of course the whole design as well. I got over it quite quickly and just picked up the beads and decided to work on a new design. After all accidents happen and you learn from them because after that I never leave my unfinished pieces in my studio when I have company over!
