I love handmade because it's deliberate and unique.
I love it because it was touched by a human.
I love handmade because it has history.

Here's my history. Making is in my blood. It's that simple. I can't NOT do it. I've felt this way my whole life, and I've found every avenue available to me to create with my hands. It took a while to land on my passion. Metalworking is exciting to me because of how much there is to learn about this ancient craft.

I think it's a bummer sometimes to be dissatisfied with what's already out there, in the mainstream. But it's really great to be able to make what you imagine for yourself -- something new and special. It's also great to be able to share it with somebody else and make a connection. Connection and community are what I like about Etsy, and why I joined in 2007 when I started MischaLee.

You'll find a lot of one-of-a-kind and small-run items in my shop. Expect attention to detail, careful crafting, and clean, practical styling. I like things to be precious and special, but also something you can wear everyday. I want you to be able to build your own story with my pieces. Make your history.
