For Amy

My very first turquoise necklace. I got this turquoise when I was in India two years ago. It's about time I made something, right?

More customized jewelry


Finally sold 2 items at once!

I've come to realize how extremely hard it is to find certain Scrabble tiles, namely C, J, and K (since popular names start with those letters.) V, X, and Q are also the "rare" ones. I will need to start charging more for these since it's a convenience and extra shipping cost for me.

Autumn Inspired

- Autumn Rings Necklace -
This was all experimental. I actually made the chain shorter and it's now more like a choker and looks a lot better.





- AUTUMN LEAVES SET (NECKLACE AND EARRINGS) -






- Autumn Green Fades Earrings

New necklaces

A custom necklace I sold. I originally made it with a red and gold bead, but she wanted a teal-colored bead, so I changed it to her liking. I personally like the red and gold bead myself.

New Year, New Jewelry

Ever since my showcase at work, I've been commissioned to make customized jewelry. Here are a few pieces people asked me to make based on pieces they've seen and to match other jewelry they'd bought from me.

Inspireashine Jewelry Showcase!

Last Friday I had a showcase of my jewelry at Moonscoop (where I work), and it was more successful than I imagined it would be! Much less stress to deal with than the LA Artwalk or even Etsy. I will definitely look into setting up a little shop at local businesses! Lots of people bought in time for the holidays!

Here are some items I sold. A few are custom-requested.

custom necklaces

I finally made two custom necklaces. Finished them both in one shot. One was due before Halloween (sorry!) the other is still a work in progress. The customer wants me to change a few things. I actually like the coppery hues.

This is Halloween! (Halloween, Halloween)



This year I dressed up as Mystique Sonia from the animated show "Hero 108" that I am currently working on.


(Mystique Sonia image is property of Moonscoop.)


Here is some concept art:

Yaksha (hat):
I used materials I got from Target (total $5) and buttons from Joann's for the eyes and nostrils. I used black felt for the teeth.

Dress:
I bought the dress from Forever 21 for about $11. I cut the seams on the sides and hammered some eyelets in to tie red ribbon through because Sonia's dress flares out.

Tutu:
I bough crinoline fabric from Joann's for about $0.89/yard. I got 5 yards, cut it down to about 24"x2" and tied it onto a red ribbon, a couple inches longer than my waist size. Repeated the tying until the end of the knot.
