How I choose my Leather
I like this question because it actually answers how I choose a lot of my supplies.
Life as an Artist Mother
It has been very interesting to see my daughter, Zora, develop an interest in pretty much all I do.
Life in Colorado
In the summer of 1999 I came to Colorado State University as an exchange student for one semester.
Tapestry Weaving Kits
Working with Kate of Sunshine Lady Photography has been good for me! I get home after one of our brainstorm sessions and get right to work on an idea that she sparked in me.
Growing up in France
When I was two, my parents moved from Germany - where they met and where I was born - to France.
Who is Melina Be?
When I think of it, my parents raised me in a very Waldorf like way. We were outside as much as possible, playing in the dirt, making mud cakes or just playing in the rain.
Starting My Website
Shortly after starting my business in 2016 I opened up an Etsy store.
