A LITTLE ABOUT ME
foucaultbear started in 2002 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
An accidental entrepreneur . . . what started off as a hobby. . . .
I’m mom to a boisterous and chatty 3rd grader. My husband and I met at Harvard and we’re into our second decade together. Our little girl has him completely figured out. He simply cannot say no to her (and would not!) and that’s where I come in, to be the disciplinarian and adult in our household.
I started making bows for my daughter to match her outfits and just fell in love with creating them.
Making bows provided and still, provides me with a modicum of sanity & purpose especially when I was suffering from PPD after the birth of my little one. I started selling them with encouragement from a friend who believed in me.
I hand-make all my bows with care. Some centerpieces on my creations are handmade from polymer clay in the USA by very talented clay artisans whom I’ve worked with for years. I also use authentic M2MG accessories.
I offer an array of different hair bows for children, adults, and sometimes pets, and also custom pieces made to your specifications.
Custom orders will take a minimum of 7 working days to complete, depending on my workload. Please contact me if you have something in mind.
For adults, I have hair barrettes made using Swarovski crystals.
I also make beaded bracelets and necklaces, with polymer clay centers for children. Some of my bracelets and necklaces are M2MG/M2M or made to match the hair bows I created. I use a mix of Swarovski, Czech or Austrian crystal beads, millefiori beads, glass beads and acrylic beads, with sterling silver, surgical steel or stainless steel components.
I offer handcrafted earrings and bracelets for adults too. I love working with freshwater/saltwater pearls and natural earth-mined precious/semi-precious stones such as and not limited to, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Turquoise and Aquamarine.
