Throwback and sentiments to December 8ths of years past!

I got this photo highlight today from 3 years ago and my time getting to show in LONDON!! I look back and smile at my lil Babe of an Artist self. So new! I saw everything thru lavender lenses! It was a treat to explore the city and meet so many incredible artists with and to have my work shown in a window space in Piccadilly Circus! I was SO PROUD of this collection!! Lots of beautiful bespoke pieces including a whole series of rings ~ my favorite of which was stolen and still that didn't detract from all this time gifted me! Heck I was flattered someone loved the ring as much as I did!

I've been looking back on my career thus far - the next image is from 2023 at prepping for an Art & Things and then one from today of me sitting here in The Hovel about to go make some orders.

I'm over 3.5 years in doing this full time! Can you believe it? I'm so happy with all I've gotten to experience and I'm also ready to return to nourishing my roots. When I went to London, I was so immersed in preparation - delighting in the dance of expression and pushing myself creatively! Just look at that necklace stack 👀👀 I was living and breathing all things creative and I felt so alive and empowered! Everything was so fresh.

You all have been so receptive to my work, I welcomed the demand and pushed myself into production. And over the past couple years - pushed myself into deep burn out. I stopped watering my creative jewelry play time! I was on repeat mode and stopped gifting myself the same time to make new and weird things! (Something we talked about in today's Monday Meet Up)

This year, I feel I've been slow quitting this production work. And I'm ready to welcome back that dive into the unknown. Lots of changes are in the works and I'm excited to continue to share them with you all!!

Hehe and in the meantime... I'm gonna keep sharing some of these throwbacks that have been popping up 🥰 And if you can relate & wanna share your experience of navigating... would love to hear 💜💜💜

Ok! So much Love Abound 💕

Come thru and snag some goodies for yourself or for someone you think is rad 😘💕💜

My work is far from void of color - but this cover photo just fits the vibe, yah know? ✨

This *follow my whimsy* pair are twice coated - first white, sanded down around the edges to reveal the steel and then with a beautiful matte coating ~ def gonna do more of this technique!!

Come find me to snag these one-of's along with an array of dopamine inducing, polyester powder coated steel jewelry in abstract and iconographic forms ✨ As promised to myself... I'm doing fewer markets this year and so you know the ones I'm doing are all ones I'm super duper stoned to be joining in on!!! **might sneak in a couple extra as well 😇

Today kicks off with x Half & Half and I couldn't be more excited for the 44 creatives joining us!!! I coordinate this market with and it's been beyond a delight and ever a fun time ~ come say hello and do a little dance with me!

💜💜💜

My beloved jewelry bench turned 6 last week!!! Happy Birthday Babe 💕💕💕

From its humble beginnings back in Fall 2019 (when I was still working as the desk manager of and just beginning classes ) to a move into The Hovel and many a tattoo and indeed many a piercings later... love this steady support for my creative endeavors.

And love to smile at how I've evolved too along the way! 🥰💕💜

Our next New Moon Group is upon us!

This Monday June 23 from 6:30-8 pm EST, we'll gather on Zoom to discuss the energies of Cancer ♋️ and set our intentions for the upcoming season. I'll share the story of Hercules' 4th Labor: The Capture of the Doe or Hind. It's a seemingly simple task on the outside, yet calls upon Hercules' inner world wisdom and power of choice.

Feels oddly fitting with all this crazy heat calling us inside! Also bonus: I just got brought these beautiful Lillies into the studio as idk... just felt right to have some flowers!

Look forward to gathering and touching in with each of you 💕✨

If you aren't already on the list - DM me your email and I'll send you the zoom link as well as a PDF of the Journey with the Moon Journal 💜
