Who is Margay B?
Oh haaayyyyyy! š
You may know us as the sparkle-obsessed Suncatcher and jewelry makers called Margay B. š¤
Contrary to popular belief, neither of us is named Margay! Lol.
We are Micah and Tiff, a loving duo in life and in business, who started crafting and creating in 2013, thanks to Micahās insistence that we take up a creative hobby (and "see if weĀ can make it pay for itself").
Margay B beganĀ with leather and stone, selling our wares and traveling throughout California, Arizona, and New Mexico! It was fun, it was hard work, and it was an adventureā but Iām a child of the internet, so working online is much preferred. š
ShortlyĀ after,Ā I felt called to metal and started making suncatchers and fell in love. Ā We now work strictly in metal, crystal, and gemstone. I have a raging, uncontrollable sparkle addiction; I obsess over details; Iām super indecisive; and Iām a perfectionist (not a great combo lol). Iām a well-socialized introvert, have the sense of humor of a 12 year old (fart jokes plz šØ), and love comics and cats. šŗ
Micah is the captain of our ship. Heās the reason Margay B existsā heās guidedĀ our hobby-turned-full-blown-business from the beginning, and heās a huge influence in our designs. Heās offhandedly creative and thinks unconventionally (the best ideas are from his help lol). Micah has experience in a machine shop, so my love for metal has been nurtured by his knowledge and wisdom.Ā Heās an extrovert who enjoys watermarbling, paper craft, metal work, and following MMA. And he has a wheeze-laugh. š¤£Ā
We LOVE what we do, and we love you for allowing us to imbueĀ this reverenceĀ and passion into our creations. Forever grateful for you. š š
Itās been almost a decade of building our skills, knowledge, and collection of tools (more tools plz). Hereās toĀ hoping forĀ many more decades ofĀ sparkle and joy! š„šāØĀ

P.S.
Fun Fact: a Margay is an exotic South American wild cat that lives its entire life in Ā trees. One of only 2-3 species of cat that can fully rotate its ankles 180°, allowing it to perch head-down on a tree just like squirrels do! š (I like weird animals lol.)
The "B" in Margay B stands for "Binturong," an unusual southeast Asian bearcat, one of the few carnivorous mammals with a prehensile tail! It also has an evolutionary quirk that makes them smell like popcorn to humans. š
