About Us
Hi, I'm Marelize, the creative behind Maxxy Makes. Thanks so much for stopping by!
My Story
I discovered polymer clay during the unusual times of 2020, initially as a way to stay busy and creative. What started as a distraction quickly became a passion I couldn't put down. In November 2024, I took the leap and left the corporate world behind to pursue what I truly love: creating beautiful, functional art.
Why Journals?
I've always been drawn to stationery and journaling, but I struggled to find journals that hit the sweet spot between quality and affordability. The expensive ones were gorgeous but out of reach, while the budget options often fell short on craftsmanship. So I decided to create my own solution.
I believe your journal should inspire you to pick it up every single day, it should be a portal into your thoughts, dreams, or the stories you want to tell. That's why each journal in my collection features a unique, hand-sculpted polymer clay cover paired with carefully sourced or hand-bound pages and a handcrafted bookmark.
A Bit About Me
When I'm not crafting, you'll find me with a coffee in hand, a dog (or two) nearby, and probably lost in a fantasy novel or video game. I'm a huge gamer, from cosy favourites like Stardew Valley and My Time at Sandrock to epic story-driven RPGs like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Baldur's Gate.
I also share behind-the-scenes peeks, tutorials, and my daily journaling journey on my blog at www.maxxymakes.co.uk
