Where Old Treasures Find New Life

At Knots Bout U2, maker Judy Zulkoski transforms forgotten treasurers into wearable stories. Each one-of-a-kind, clasp-free bracelet is handcrafted from repurposed jewelry and finished with delicate, hand-tied macrame. Effortless style meets sustainable creativity, resulting in pieces that feel as meaningful as they look. 

Designed With Intention, Created With Heart

What began as a creative solution to breathe new life into unworn jewelry has blossomed into Judy's passion for meaningful, eco-conscious design. Every knot she ties carries intention, imagination, and a touch of individuality because every piece truly is "bout U." Through her memory-wire macrame bracelets, forgotten jewelry, trinkets, and crystals are reimagined into one-of-a-kind designs.

A Season for One-Of-A-Kind Finds

This winter, Judy is one of ten featured artists in the Winter Market at the Columbus Art Gallery located at 2500 14 St. on the second floor, offering shoppers the chance to find unique, handcrafted gifts infused with meaning, sustainability, and personal connection. The gallery is open Monday-Thursday from 1-5 p.m. and Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Perfect hours to discover something special for the season.
