MadeByBarb
Welcome! Pleased to meet you, I am Barb; a “Maker”. I have been making things AND explaining how to make things for as long as I can remember. I was all about DIY long before it was a popular term. I absolutely love the challenge of trying a new media or material to make something that didn’t exist before. Trying to categorize my “making” is quite difficult since I make so many things in so many different fields. And, I don’t let gender rule what type of things I can make. Actually, that gives me even more drive when someone says: “you CAN”T do that”! If I can get the material and supplies readily, and can lift them by myself, or run the tools needed, I’ll give it a go. Those who know me, know that I am quite stubborn… I’ll do it myself, and show you how you can DIY.www.madebybarb.com
