This is the personal blog of Michelle Cali, creator of Wine Coutures and John8eight. Here she plans to get overly personal with you by giving details of her creative process along with rants and raves about her two favorite subjects- alcohol and weddings. She will write often, (not sure if that's a promise or a threat), so please visit as much as you can tolerate. Enjoy!
So, finally I have pictures to show you of the wine bottle necklaces that were up for auction at this year's Flavors Event. They are a very nice collection if I do say so myself.
I am the designer and creator of Wine Coutures- a funky little line of eco-chic wine charms, bottle necklaces and accessories made from recycled and salvaged jewelry.
I decided to focus on making wine glass charms in 2008 after I suffered acute liver failure and had to have an emergency liver transplant. Even though the doctors don’t know why my perfectly normal liver failed, liquor was now off limits. So, taking a cue from one of my favorite books I decided that, “Just because I’m resisting the wine doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the bouquet.” (That’s from the book Twilight for all you non-vampire fans.) Hence, Wine Coutures was born. My wine glass charms continue to be my way to still enjoy the wine that I love so much.
