My name is Michaela and I was born in Czech Republic. I have been
producing crafts for about 40 years. When I was about 10 years old I
made my first crocheted purse. When I was 15 I started sewing and making
macrame belts. At the age of 18 I learned how to make bobbin lace. At
the age of 25 I came to the USA and started working in a theater as a
Costumer. I also started selling hats and purses at the Hollywood
Farmers Market in Los Angeles, CA. I did that for 7 years and I really
enjoyed it. Later I moved to Oregon and continued making my crafts here.
Presently, I learned wire-wrapping and beading. Growing up in a country
where certain resources were scarce I was forced to only use materials
that were available. I also hated to throw anything away. I see an
enormous purpose in recycling and using reclaimed materials in order to
make my crafts. I genuinely find pleasure in finding unusual materials
that were discarded or have no value to others and making them into
pieces of art. I also like combining different craft media to make
beautiful artistic wearable objects. My craft is my life and I couldn't
live without constantly producing something with my hands.
