Meet Big Sister...
Recycle-Reuse-Reclaim-Reinvent:
That's her motto. She's edgy, funky and thrives on creating magic with her wearable art.
When Martha started down this artistic path in 2000 one could not have imagined the amazing popularity and following she would have as she debuted with her Domino Effect™ line. Dominoes, hand painted and hand stamped with eclectic and artistic imagery are transformed into wearable art. But she didn't stop there. She continued searching for a way to share her creative spunk and she soon followed her domino art with Pop Culture™, a line of jewelry with vintage pop tops. Retro, classic soda pop tops are flipped over and filled with artistic and sassy images.
And the magic was only just beginning. Over a beer at the local pub one night, Martha conceived another line of wearable art on the back of a small cocktail napkin. Martha's keen sense of style, her attraction to anything retro, a little ingenuity and some old record albums…and voila! Vintage vinyl is transformed into original, traffic stopping handbags. Reborn Vinyl™ was officially "born" in 2005
Big Sister makes her home in sunny Bradenton, Florida. When not playing in her studio, she can be found shopping the antique markets and garage sales for something new to transform. She has won numerous awards for her unique creations, most recently Best of Show at the 2006 20th Annual Detroit Festival of the Arts. Martha can also be seen on DIY TV's "Jewelry Making", and in many magazines and publications. |
