Accidentally Artsy: The Made by Mar Story

Hey there! I’m Marlayna — maker, wire-wrangler, sparkle enthusiast, and professional creative chaos machine.

Back in 2010, I graduated high school with zero clue what I wanted to do next. One day I stumbled across a wire-wrapping video on YouTube, and… that was it. Instant obsession.

Fun fact: I wasn’t even “the art kid” growing up. My tiny hometown stopped offering art classes in 6th grade, so I never really had the chance to explore it. Turns out, all I needed was a bit of wire, a shiny rock, and a YouTube tutorial to set my creativity loose.

The first time someone bought something I made, I nearly cried. That’s when it hit me — I want to make things that make people feel something.

Now my shop is a joyful mix of everything I love: wire-wrapped jewelry, hand-stamped designs, and quirky vinyl stickers. It’s not perfectly curated — it’s perfectly me.

So if you’re into shiny things, weird things, or things made with a whole lot of heart — welcome to my world. 💎✨
