A quick note here: some of the materials I use in my #jewelry work come from overseas. So in addition to the 50% increase in the price of silver over the past two years, I'm also looking at material price hikes due to the Republican administration's #tariffs.

Throw back to the time our choker necklace was in Desnudo Magazine!

We used to specialize in bold chunky jewelry in non-precious materials like nylon and steel. But when the production costs from our suppliers rose and the quality and value didn't, we decided to discontinue those materials and focus exclusively on heirloom quality metals like sterling silver. Sadly, this meant designing smaller items for a while. But we missed the big "F-OFF" statement pieces we used to make so much that we finally figured out how to create them again, this time in premium metals. Our 2.0 versions are a bit more versatile: unisex and uni-size. Because the pieces will likely outlive you, you should be able to pass them on to whomever you like.

My (not quite) boyfriend just stopped by while I'm on quarantine to drop off a pair of earrings he made for me! They match my longboard, and they're so dope—I absolutely love them!

He handed them to me in a tiny white takeout box with a little metal wire handle. I put them on, and then we both just stood there on my front porch blushing at each other like highschool kids (kids still blush these days, right?) for like 20 minutes.

God, he's so adorable 😍

I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

These tiny, feminine cowrie shell earrings are reminiscent of a yoni shape with a rustic, Picasso finish. They are framed with sterling silver filigree & paired with freshwater pearls that have been salvaged/upcycled from broken vintage. They hang from hand forged sterling silver ear wires in my little cobra shape--perfect for pierced ears or for wearing through tunnels if you have stretched lobes.

Earrings measure 1 3/4" or 4.5cm.
