Hello my name is Miquette Breitenbach I am 29 years old from Scotland and I'm now a proud mum of a beautiful little strawberry called Hazel who's dad is a talented artist and musician called Frazer (he posts here occasionally too) . I've only been a mum since 7th December 2010 so it's all very new but so far it's been great.
After school I did a 1 year Theatre Arts course in Dundee, I went travelling for a while then decided to apply to university to study Computer Arts about 4 years later.
I am a fan of graffiti, graphic design, animation and making films (although I've not made any for so long it's embarrassing) and I love cute, surreal, magical, enchanted, giant and miniature things. Most of all I love using my hands to make physical objects and Strawberry Anarchy has enabled me to return to my first love.
I've done some acting in a handful of short films, write poems, I like playing guitar and drums and most of all I love to dance (strangely). I have a massive collection of pencil rubbers (approx 7,000) you can see photos and a video here.
When I travelled around a little, I worked in Europe and visited America but my favourite place is Morocco. (If you are curious you can read why here.)
I like to blog about things I like and that I want to show and share with other people. Sometimes I just have to express myself or get feedback or opinions on my creations. I love to speak to everyone on my blog and facebook and it's really good to find other people who like similar things as me. Most of all I like to try keep as happy as possible and this helps me to do that a little better than without.
Jewellery and Art:
I've always loved making stuff ever since I was small and I try to have an essence of childhood captured in most my creations. I love to use bright colours, old toys, trinkets and cute objects and make my designs bring happiness to those who wear them and people around them and I love all things miniature. However there is a darker side to my personality that I like to express occasionally too, it can't be rainbows and hearts all the time!
Glass Vials:
I love the thought of capturing small items and preserving them and showing them off. When I was a young girl my sister took me to a shopping centre where a woman was writing names on a piece of rice. My sister bought me one of the necklaces. I loved the necklace dearly and wore it until the string eventually wore down and fell off. When I found these tiny vials I was so happy I could make myself one. I wanted to do it in my own way, not with rice but with my own handmade items and unique ideas.
