As you may or may not know, I make jewelry for a living. I went to school for jewelry design and metalsmithing back in the day, and am super hashtag blessed to be able to put that edjumacation to use in a field I truly enjoy. I work from my home studio (hello pj’s even before Covid Life!!!) and sell to retail stores as well as online (think Etsy and Amazon) as well as festivals and shows.

Well, since the world started slowly burning to the ground in a pretty terrible and scary way, festivals and all that face to face stuff has been cancelled. So! I am hosting a super fun live stream shopping event on my business Facebook page. Woo hoo! I’m working on some brand-stinkin-new designs to be unveiled during the show and you can shop from my website:

I’m super excited. I’m super nervous. But I’m also super stoked. I am going to try my hardest not to swear, but I promise to have some super badass new designs. Will I see you there?!

Ok. I know it’s not quarantining – it’s social distancing that we are doing these days – but the alliteration is just too good.

So. Yeah. These times, ammiright? I have watched by regular income evaporate, and have actually welcomed the chance to be a little more creative. As we adjust to these crazy new times, I have challanged myself to make a new pair of earrings a day. Without the need for constant production (which is a very complex mathematical equation of materials vs time to the 3rd power, taking into account the barometric pressure, etc), I have been able to sit, joyfully, at the bench and play. It has been so fun! And I plan to continue this project for the forseeable future. The pieces are uploaded immediately to the Etsy shop as well as my business Facebook page. Here are a few of my favorites so far. Have an idea or suggestion? I would love to hear it!
