Make Pie Not War is a handmade jewelry company by Alana Little! We like to make “Jewels for the radical lady”, but we have pieces for men too! Alana started MPNW in 2007 after leaving the corporate world! MPNW loves to bring a whimsical and fabulous style to all who wear it! We love vintage pieces, gemstones, and precious metals to make our pieces! Our website is www.makepie.net and our etsy shop is www.makepienotwar.etsy.com.

What inspired you to go into the craft business, do you still have a day job? Alana graduated with an Accounting and Fashion degree, went to work in the corporate world, and then decided she had enough! She started MPNW and has been happy ever since! She does this full time while fitting in her time with her new babe!

Describe your creative process when designing/making your product line. Alana states, “I normally start with a piece that really inspires me, that I just have to use! From there, I figure out how I’m going to make this thing work!” MPNW is always on the look for fresh and new things to use. We always have our eyes open!

What’s the best thing about what you do? And the worst? Best: Working for ourselves and having happy customers! We love hearing from people who we have made feel beautiful! Worst: Long hours!
