soft drop pendants – fabric jewelry

December 20th, 2009

I’m excited to announce that I have some new jewelry creations for sale! It’s an idea that I have been playing with for a while, trying to find a way to create wearable showcases for precious bits of fabric. My previous attempt fell victim to technical difficulties, but a more recent project led me to a simple technique of enclosing flat objects within fabric. Pair that will my favorite teardrop shape (12345) and we have:

So there you have it. All six of these pendants, including the skeleton key shape, are for sale right now at my etsy shop. I’m anxious to see if anyone else likes these as much as I do… I really hope so!

Have you heard of papernstitch? It’s a little showcase of handmade items curated by Brittni and designed by Jeff. They both deserve a lot of credit because the site is beautiful and impressively simple to use.

Here’s a peek at my shop. Be sure to look at all the other wonderful exhibitors this month; I’m especially excited about Allison Cole, Nosideup, Mati Rose, and Selflesh.

A new look

My website has needed a sprucing up for a while, and today it all came together, finally! Hope you like it.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me by buying my prints! I’m constantly working to keep the store stocked with new prints, so be keeping an eye out.
