Meet The Maker

Hi, my name is Eli. I am a native Floridian, based in Tampa FL. I began making chains in 2020 and have not been able to put it down since, it is a practice of patience and love and I am grateful and eager to always be improving and learning almost five years later. I have spent many many weekends popping up around the bay area selling jewelry & occasionally vintage wares. After popping up over 100 times I have found what events tend to work best for me & am happy to call Indie Flea, Heyday, New Moon Makers Market, and Groovehive my happy homes.

In 2025 I am continuing to expand my business practices to focus more on engaging online so that I can spend a bit more time in my studio! But I am happy to add a new addition to my rotation - The Oddities & Curiosities Expo! I’m heading out of Tampa Bay for the first time ever & going on tour to Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, Philly, & Jacksonville this year!!!

I now co-host Heyday Tampa alongside my dear friend Kirby, as she has moved away & we wanted to keep it alive! It’s an amazing alternative vintage and makers market that started a few years ago & frequently has popped up in some of the coolest spots in town like The Dirty Shame, The Orpheum, & La Setima Club. To find out more about Heyday follow us on IG @heyday_tpa

My other interests include practice on the pottery wheel, scifi & horror novels + movies, going to shows in my local scene, 35mm + instant film photography, & spending time with loved ones

It is my absolute pleasure & privilege to be here on this journey - it is hard to sum up in to words just how weaving metal has completely transformed me & I thank you for being a part of it!

If you’d like to chat about my work, collaborate, or give me your favorite movie, podcast, book, or album recommendations - I am best reached by email ladydaisychains@gmail.com
