Fantastic Plastic: Acrylic Statement Earrings
It’s been kind of a while since I’ve been excited about a fashion trend, but I really like the resin/acrylic statement earrings that are coming out for spring this year. It should come as no surprise that I have a DIY version in the works, but until then, here are some acrylic earrings available for […]
DIY Concrete and Gold Gem Jewelry
These concrete and gold gems were born out of the failure of another project. Actually, it wasn’t a complete failure, because I eventually adapted that project to work. But when I was originally envisioning the wall-mounted stud earring rack I made, it was a tabletop version. I experimented with pouring it a cement block base, […]
Brass Bead & Tassel Earrings
Recently I became really intrigued by the combination of thread and brass. I don’t think it was any one piece that inspired me, it was more a slow accumulation.

DIY Tassel Earrings

Minus painting the leather, I used the same basic steps as I did in that project, so if you need instructions, check out that post. And you […]
DIY Leather Cord and Brass Bead Earrings Tutorial
Over the years I’ve accumulated tons of craft supplies of various types, so I often try to figure out projects to use up leftovers. This is one I came up with for some of the leather cord I used for these bracelets and the brass beads from these earrings and these bracelets.
Shop Update
Lately I’ve been having lots of fun with metal. Not the kind you headbang to. The kind you cut with a saw and solder and hammer (which makes a similar din to the musical kind). These simple copper circles are one of the first pairs of earrings I made. They’re pretty minimalist, but the large […]
Shiny and New
I’m trying out a new storefront. It’s more clean and uncluttered than Etsy, and I like that it’s my own little place. It feels kind of like moving from dormitories into an apartment, though I’m not leaving Etsy. I don’t have everything listed there yet, but I’m slowly adding items. Check it out here. For […]
