What got you started with your craftwork ?

I believe that I take my artistic genes from my mother and grandmother . I used to do crochet and knitting while in school . I saw a friend doing decoupage and I fell in love with it . So I started learning and practicing decoupage from whatever information I could find online and in books . The response that I got from my friends and family encouraged me to continue doing decoupage and polish my skills further .

Have you ever had pets ?

I have had birds and a Turkish Angora cat before . Recently , I got a beautiful blue coloured fighter fish .

Why do you mostly include pictures of animals in you craftwork ?

The first candle , and my favourite piece , was of horses . I love how people relate to animal portraits with cute memories . I personally think that animal pictures bring a unique look to the crafts .

If people want to get in touch with you , where can they do that ?

I am usually regular with craft markets like Arte Souk and have a Facebook page called “ Mira ’ s Candles .”

Do you think pets make a lot of difference in the quality of our lives ?

Yes . Pets make you more responsible and you learn to be affectionate towards something that cannot speak for itself .
It is very important to have pets specially if you have kids at home as children learn to be appreciative towards animals and treat them with love and kindness .
