Cutest Bachelorette Party Ever

My very ladylike friend was getting married, and she made me promise that I wouldn’t embarrass her with the usual penis-veil bachelorette party accoutrements. This was our compromise. It was a very etsy bachelorette party. Share on Facebook

On one of those “I can’t believe this is my job” days, I got to create Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas paper dolls. And then in one of those “I can’t believe this is happening” moments they were featured a Jewish Daily Forward blog and on Jezebel.com. All the outfits are based on photographs [...]

The ladies who buy my necklace are the nicest, prettiest ladies in the world. I’m sure there is some weird parental rose colored glasses thing influencing this perception, but it’s just so satisfying to see a woman put on the jewelry I made and see it transform her outfit. I have tried to own my [...]

Bring a light, or else your work won’t mean a thang. With a little cultural insensitivity, a dumpling steamer makes a lovely display tray. A trip to the thrift store and an open mind can net you weird wire things, perfect for weird displays of wares. Get your generous, amazing, sucker friends to man the [...]

My friend Bo Lu was kind enough to photograph me with her fancy camera and fancy lens. The long necklaces look a bit shapeless out of context, so we did some SF-riffic scenes with them. Share on Facebook

This is why it’s good to have stylish pals. Wouldn’t have thought to layer them but they look rather lovely. Share on Facebook

Felt Bangles

I’ve had a stash of those $0.45 felt squares in a number of tasty colors, not sure what to do with them. This is the sort of felt that was likely used for any elementary school costumes: bright, acrylic, and more prone to fuzz than the wool felt I usually use. But the candy colors [...]

shapes

Circles are tough to cut. Luckily, a bit of wonkiness to the edges can add a bit of personality to a piece, while the triangular pieces benefit from a bit more geometry.  After putting some generous friends who didn’t know what they were getting into to work, I was able to assemble earrings and necklaces [...]
