Firecracker came out of founder Elizabeth Hargraves Mandy's 20+ years of experience in the decorative arts. Her business, Elizabeth Hargraves Inc, specializes in antique surface restoration and decorative painting - and Firecracker is a natural extension of that knowledge and interest. Based in the Hudson Valley, Firecracker designs and hand paints leathergoods, glassware, murals, etc. for people all over the world.
