About mharbu
Half-elf Mieren makes bags and pouches for everyday use in her small workshop on the edge of town, where the evening light breaks differently, colors play differently, and ancient legends whisper. Mieren comes from the island of Mharbu and has only been in the city for a short while. She's discovered that locals have a peculiar relationship with simple things. They often don't notice a detail until they hold it in their hands. Yet it's the detail that determines whether a bag is comfortable to wear all day, whether a coin purse fits just right in your palm, whether it can be fastened even blindfolded...
When not working on crafts, in the evenings she sits with dwarves at the tavern discussing what's happening, who's wandering where, what's new on the trails and whether dragons are really coming back, or if it's just another story that changes a bit with each telling.
About me
My parents actually named me Markéta and I create mostly without magic, just with two hands. In my work, I like to combine various craft and artistic techniques to create pieces that can be (more or less) a portal to another world where you might meet elves, dwarves, perhaps hobbits, and occasionally a dragon. I mainly make bags, coin purses and various accessories for those who like to keep a small reference to their favorite worlds in color or shape in their everyday life.
Pracuju s třísločiněnou kůží (tedy nejekologičtější variantou činění kůže), kterou ručně barvím, a občas kombinuji třeba s voskovaným plátnem. Každý kus dělám pomalu a poctivě, aby dobře fungoval a něco vydržel. Pokud chceš něco upravit nebo vymyslet od začátku, dělám úpravy mých designů i zakázky úplně od nuly podle tvých ctěných představ.
… a mharbu is simply an acronym of my name.
