Mother & Daughter Collaboration

What began as an evening enjoying the sunset and some wine...



Turned into a full-on design session with one Miss Holly Cooper and her sweet 11 year old daughter, Maiah.

The two ventured over to my tiny pad to pick out a gift for their family friend, Megan, who was sold on my bracelet design during her recent visit to San Diego.

But once those goodies were busted out of the closet, the fun ensued.

I can't deny how awesome it was to create jewelry again, and it is always fun to learn what people of all ages prefer to decorate themselves with.  :)

I really love these ladies and am happy to share our final result with you all.  

Enjoy!


On the left is Maiah's hand with a white front and black backed, single chained bracelet.

Around Holly's neck is a choker-style teal green front and silver textured back necklace with gunmetal arrow and heart-linked chain.

Here is the bracelet they picked out for their friend, Megan:


It departs San Diego via USPS tomorrow as part of a care package to the north.

So much love.

Another fine collaboration.

Shot. Through. The. Heart....

...Where every piece tells a story :)

True Word Of Mouth Collaboration

Linda saw my  "Shot Through the Heart"  necklace on a customer in a pet store where she works. 

She contacted me via Facebook for a collaboration and I was delighted to help her create her new favorite necklace!

I linked her to my "Parts and Labor" blog post 
and she asked for a hot pink and white heart with a double gold chain.

I did what I do and cut out some hearts with her in mind.  Yesterday, I sent her this picture text.


She chose the top left furry white heart and the hot pink without the stitching.

I put the pieces together and met her this afternoon to deliver.

She was stoked, as am I, so I made this other new one

- just cause I felt inspired by it -



LEOPARD!!!!!!

Order now!  Supplies are limited on this amazing pattern!

Here are some other new textures and colors of leather.







I have many different kinds of leather, so if you want something in particular, just ask!


See the brown turtle pattern in the leather underneath?  So unique if you are looking for a brown!

Here are some examples of sterling silver chain.


Imagine the necklace below, with a leopard back??!!

HOTNESSSS!!!!

Just needed to paint that mental image for you ;)
