267: Chatting About When You Don't Fit The Norm with Michelle Nicole

Michelle Nicole is the inventor of Unicorn SPiT and an avid artist and crafter. She’s a self-taught artist with a passion for color, design, and art therapy. Whether she’s transforming an outdated piece of furniture into a sleek, stylish piece, or formulating new colors to add to her popular line of Unicorn SPiT products, her creative mind is always in motion. In addition to discovering new ways to use her ingenious product, Michelle enjoys teaching others how to “let your creative juices flow.” The videos she posts online for tens of thousands of followers are informative and entertaining. No item, surface, or piece of clothing is off-limits. As Michelle says, “You can SPiT that!” She lives in Shawnee, KS. Unicorn SPiT is a paint, gel stain, and glaze concentrate — all in one bottle! It creates a multifaceted, 3-dimensional effect on the wood, glass, metal, fabric, pottery, wicker, concrete, laminate, and more. Fans love that it’s non-toxic and comes in a variety of outrageous colors. Back in 2015, inventor Michelle Nicole never imagined her colorful concoction would go from being made in a spaghetti pot in her kitchen to being sold at major art and hobby stores around the world. “When I created Unicorn SPiT, I was skeptical of how it would be received,” she said. “But after seeing the art created by thousands of people using the product, its powers have proved to be real.” The Official Unicorn SPiT® User’s Handbook also tells the inspiring story behind its creation. When she was 21, Michelle started an arts and crafts program at a daycare center for disabled adults and elderly citizens, but she noticed the men weren’t partaking in projects, like macaroni pictures and hook rugs. When she spotted an old piece of furniture off the side of the road, she brought it in for the men to work on. In no time at all, many of the participants transformed pieces of furniture, and the art therapy was energizing the senior citizens.
