What better way to celebrate the start of fall than with the Classic Autumn Stud Pack? 🧡🍄 These timeless designs are the perfect addition to a casual fall look. The pack features a brown acorn with a metallic bronze nut, a shimmery red mushroom with pearl accents, and a shimmery orange pumpkin.

It's ~finally~ the season for cool, crisp weather, cozy sweaters, hot coffees, and the delightful smell of fallen leaves.

Grout a pair of spiderweb studs with me!

After the solid black clay is fully baked, pearl liquid clay is applied to the indented pattern and the excess is wiped clean with isopropyl alcohol. This is definitely a messy process, but the results are worth it! You can't tell, but I was sparkly all day.

Introducing the Orchard Stud Pack! The designs are inspired by our orchards here in northern Ohio. Featuring a pair of cherries on a striped background, a fuzzy peach, and a beautiful Honeycrisp apple! Despite looking tasty, these studs are not edible. Please don't gnaw on them. 🙂

What better way to get ready for football season than to pick up some new sports themed earrings? 🏈 I've got both studs and dangles available!

Do you watch professional games, college, or high school games? Do you make a day of it or is it something that you turn on for background noise?

Well friends, mother nature sure hasn't been terribly kind to the outdoor market season this year. Unfortunately this weekend's event has been cancelled due to continuous rain. But my loss is your gain- I'm holding a flash sale! Through tomorrow, everything is 25% off online.

I don't know about you, but I just. can't. WAIT. to smell the fresh, crisp fall leaves! Taking a walk in the woods when the leaves are changing is just so special. I can't get enough of the fallen leaf smell!

These leaf dangles are inspired by the pretty colors of the leaves as they start turning.

I can gush about my designs all day every day, but what REALLY matters is what you think about them! 

There's something so special about the moment of joy when you get to pick out your earrings for the day and see your outfit all put together. Making stuff with clay is fun, but THIS is my why 🫶

Isn't the Cutie Autumn Stud Pack just the sweetest? 💝 This pack features a teeny tiny red maple leaf, a delicious caramel apple stud, and the cutest orange bow stud!

The leaf studs started out as a way to use scrap pieces of clay from the dangle leaves, but they're so stinkin cute they had to stay!

A look at the Pride Rose collection in direct sunlight, and the Tum of Approval from Spare, who *really* wanted in the photoshoot! 🐾

EVERYONE deserves to be seen, loved and honored for who they are. Wear these fun florals as a reminder that your pride is powerful! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💖 #pridecollection #pridemonth

Come relax a moment and craft with me as I make some of my polymer clay ice cream sandwich earrings!

I suppose we’ll find out if this is a good aspect ratio for this platform together, lol.
