About
my story
I’m a hobby enthusiast, and that’s the short story of how HollyBella Handmade came to be! It all started when my friend Missy told me about a clay class she attended, and it sparked my interest. I remembered watching my mom work with polymer clay when I was a kid and thought, "I bet I could make some cool earrings with that!" So, I bought a cheap kit on Amazon, and things took off from there. I realized I had more ideas in my head than I could make, and that’s how HollyBella Handmade grew.
I often joke that it started as my “anxiety hobby,” and honestly, it did. Creating these pieces helps calm my mind while keeping me productive. Now, with better materials and tools, I’m excited to share my art with you! If you bought some of my early pieces, thank you so much for being part of this journey.
Fun Fact: Holly and Bella are the names of my dogs. :)
