Steampunk - Inspired

It was so fun to make feather hair clips, but you know me... I have A.D.D. I wanted to make other things too. I liked the Steampunk movement a lot, so I found some clock/watch parts and gathered some charms and adhered them together to get a modern-Victorian steampunk look! Here are a few examples:









I fell in love with making steampunk owls!




Steampunk-style (modern age) Friendship Jewelry:



And this was the first one I sold!!! One of my favorites! :)


If you like any of these, please leave feedback. And if you'd like me to create a variation of one of these, let me know! No two pieces of jewelry is the same. Each is a unique one-time creation!

Feather Hair Clips and Headbands

The reason I first decided to get an Etsy account was because I wanted to buy a feather hair clip. But when I saw how much they cost, I said, "Forget that! I'll just make my own!" And I did. Here are some of my first creations. A lot of them are still on my Etsy site, for you to purchase!

My Etsy/Hand-made Site

Hi again! I've created yet another blog! (sigh!) This one will showcase not only things I've posted on Etsy, but other hand-made creations! From jewelry to handmade books to costumes and sculptures, this is a site that will both showcase my creations as well as document what I have made, sold or not. I have way too many things to post on Etsy (at $0.20 each and no sales, that could all add up super-quickly!) So I hope that you find this site both amazing and inspiring. After all, this is InspireAshine... meant to inspire a shine in everyone!
