A note from Mel:

Thank you for visiting Melgarita! Here is where I can exhibit a few of my skills and creative designs. 

I have been a teacher, a firefighter, a commercial sewer and a sales rep for a rope manufacturer. I enjoy caving, hiking and painting. These pursuits may sound varied, but one interest remains constant... I  have a creative mind and enjoy making new things. An idea sparks and I can’t help but design and figure a way to execute my thoughts. It's especially exciting when it can incorporate the outdoors in some way.

 I strive to make highly durable, functional, yet artistic items. Whether it’s sewing a cave pack, working leather to make a clutch, reupholstering a chair, or painting on a canvas, each piece is crafted with an attention to detail. 

Each item I make is well crafted, beautiful and unique... just like you. 

Enjoy viewing some of my creations. --Mel
