Old Knots Do New Tricks with Full Time Crafter Michelle Harvey

This feature is part of #MadeToCreate, a series highlighting our community of entrepreneurs, makers and artisans on Instagram.

“I want people’s first reaction to be wonder,” says self-employed crafter Michelle Harvey (@crayonchick). “My work is based on nautical knots that have been used for centuries for practical and decorative purposes. I pay a stupid amount of time on details.” Crafting began as an escape from her day job; now, Michelle works full time from her Melbourne, Australia, home — keeping her cat and computer for company. “Instagram is my connection to like-minded communities and distant friends and a total source of visual delight and enthusiasm right at my fingertips,” she says.
