My alter-ego was released that nite, and I wanted other women to be empowered by pasties. Shortly after, Pasties by Michelle was born!

I especially love Art Nouveau designs, and most often make pillows. Although I’m not opposed to using iron-on kitten transfers on dish towels, I usually make items that are more challenging, with more complicated designs.

I’ve discovered that childhood creativity again and am making jewelry out of materials that I recycle including vintage tins, bottle caps & tin cans.

I make them because they are fun to make, they are made using recycled materials and they make people laugh!

She does so because she suffers from a debilitating addiction to fabric and beads. She may need an intervention soon, as she’s started talking about herself in the third person.
