Pendants of the Day/Week

I started posting pendants of the day to my personal Facebook page, which seems to be resonating with my friends. So I’m contemplating shifting that over to the fan page to see if a pendant of the day/week is something people like to see. Clockwise: Seashells in the Waves, Raffia Square, Wrapped Boomerang and Womanly […]

The comings and goings of Maraviglia

I’m in the process of loading new pieces onto Etsy, a sampling of which is provided here: New in my Etsy store, with more to come! There are more to be loaded, and of course a lot more to be made! Etsy lovers who have favorited some pieces might notice a few mark-downs as well. […]

The Custer Fair is Saturday and Sunday

The hammer is down and I’ve made all the wire pieces I can make for Custer’s Last Stand. Here’s a sneak peek at the pieces that will be present on Saturday and Sunday. My friend and tent lender Jason McPhillips is bringing his paintings, including cowboys and Indians, like General Custer and Crazy Horse. The […]

Bound Hearts

Just before Mother’s Day I got an order for a mother-daughter set of ‘bound hearts’. I was asked to incorporate the birth stones of the family into a pendant like wrapped triangle, which is a fantastic idea. Visiting Dave’s Down to Earth Rock Shop is never a hardship, and I enjoyed sifting through their bead […]

New pendants

I’m preparing for the Custer Street Fair, my first big fair booth ever. I’ll be sharing a tent with the talented Jason McPhillips, who will have his wonderful paintings on hand. It is quite the expansion from the tray-sized pop-ups I’ve been doing, and also my first outdoor show. Since the pendants will get hot […]

Bending wire and the mind

Wow, it’s Friday already? Congratulations! Give yourself a round of applause for living the best week you could possibly have. It is all meant to be, and you’ve done your best. Creativity in action at Maike’s Marvels Yesterday was an immersion in Bento learning. It should be a handy program once I have figured out […]

Maike’s Marvels takes commissions

I recently shipped off another commission. A customer I met at the Girls’ Night Out pop-up was torn between the design of Beacon Triangle and the message of Know Thyself. I hand-stamped the message, including a blooper: Upon clarifying the favorite colors of her recipient, I set about combining the elements she liked. Here are […]

New Princess Scientist pendants

I had more inspiration under the brightness of the chilly sun on Friday and created another Princess Scientist inspired batch. Who can resist such a sunny table? Princess Chocolatier emerged from reviewing the molecular structure of Theobromine. I attempted to emulate the loopy notches of a microchip for the Princess Programmer pendant, and was surprised to […]

New Maraviglia on Etsy

I’ve just finished loading my new creations to Etsy. It’s always fun to describe my pieces, and let them go out into the world to make others happy. Some wire wanted to be sculptural, and some were channeling Spring. I enjoy seeing where the wire takes me. It is freeing to have a vision yet also […]
