Handcrafted Works In the Making


So I am taking a while to start up my new jewelry and accessories shop on Etsy, but it's worth the wait Everything I make comes from inspiration to the music I listen to. Sometimes I will have on some trance music or down tempo then I am inspired by certain colors and shapes. Man, it really takes a while to create something. I stay up until 3 a.m sometimes making stuff. I really enjoy what I do.


Lately I have become obsessed with polymer clay. I think I have found my niche in this. I'll be sticking to this for a while. I'm all tickled inside.

Into The Mind of A Vintage Lover

I gotta admit. I'm a vintage-o-holic. Everything within me screams vintage; OK not everything, but damn near close to it. I have loved wearing vintage stuff since I was 14. Sometimes I have found myself daydreaming about which thrift store I have yet to discover and even having dreams of being in the best thrift store with everything I ever wanted! Well, I have calmed down a bit because I am working on making jewelry so I have started to obsess about something else.

So one time I was went to this thrift store that actually has a discount card that you can use every Thursday and get 25% off everything. While I was in line waiting for my card I struck up a conversation with this elderly woman and she started going on about how her husband thought she was a thrift store junkie. I then realized that I too, was a thrift junkie and there was others out there like me. Whew... What a relief.(Wipes sweat from forehead)


I love stuff from the 60's, 70's and 80's and that is what my Etsy shop reflects. I want to spread vintage love all across the globe and back.
