With the philosophy that “one man’s trash is the start of something beautiful”, Bird on A Wire reaches into the depths of Grandma’s china cabinet and up-cycles that dusty, tarnished flatware into jewelry and accessories that wil be cherished for generations to come.
Mary K. Matthews, artisan/owner of Bird on A Wire, credits her family and friends with inspiriting her push forward and share her designs. She comes from a family with a long history of creating art from “found” objects, and there’s nothing that she lines more than stumbling across an item that inspires creativity.
Bird on A Wire… because every once upon a time deserves a happy ever after.
