Where the rubber meets the road


What happens when art meets transportation?  An explosion of fluid creativity!  Meet Amanda, the creative genius behind The Unlikely Nest.  In her own words:


I use found objects and images from my life adventures are finding their way into my work. Everything really evolved one day after having a month of too many flat tires and I didn't want to throw them in the trash.  From there I have created a line of jewelry using inner tubes in fun ways.  I love creative challenges and therefore often have a variety of products, rather than focusing on any one technique or craft. When I travel I love to search for local street art and the photos I have taken have also found their way into my work including stickers, stationary, notebooks, cufflinks and jewelry.

And lucky, lucky us - she'll be at "Made in the 801" Saturday!
