more new items... and a shop you should check out...

I hope you had a very happy Pi day, yesterday!  I, for one, am thankful for the discovery of this number, and makes calculating the length of tubing to cut my hula hoops so much easier!!  ((diameter*pi=circumference for the mathematically challenged))

I first want to bring a new etsy shop to your attention.  2611 clothing is co-foundered by fellow hooper, Niko Nicole.  Their designs are SICK.  I am going to be ordering this hooded dress ASAP.  I adore the design on it, especially the feather!!

The model in the photo is Niko.  You can like their facebook page here.

As far as my shop goes, I recently updated my gallery, adding in new items and separating out the cruelty free items.  I wish all of my items were cruelty free, but unfortunately I don't know the source of some of my feathers, despite my best efforts.  Now the cruelty free items have their own gallery, which will make things less confusing for customers seeking cruelty free feather earrings.

I have posted a few more of my new items below.  They are for sale in my etsy shop.

This piece, modeled by Jeana Marie, is entitled "duchess".  I love this piece because it is so simple and yet gorgeous.  Trimmed peacock feathers are paired with peacock swords and affixed to a backing.  The clip is easy to wear and is suited for all hair types.  I can make this piece, or any of my hairpieces, to be worn on either side of the head.




 This piece is entitled Shakti Fire and features orange, red, and black and white rooster and pheasant feathers.  I don't normally create items in these colors, but I love how these earrings turned out and I will definitely be making more pieces like this in the future.

As always, all of my items come with a pretty teal blue gift box for storage and giftgiving.


Have a great upcoming weekend!

A jewelry discovery...

I recently discovered the most beautiful metalwork artist named Jade Gedeon.  She sells her jewelry in a shop called 'We Dream in Colour'.  Here is her artist bio:

Jade Gedeon's influences range around the world. Owing much to her family's nomadic lifestyle, Jade enjoyed extensive exposure to a myriad of nations and cultures growing up. Born in the United States, raised in Trinidad and now living and working in Essex, Massachusetts, she had most recently made her home in Australia. A graduate of the Pratt Institute, she decided to put her art background to work in 2002, and has been making wonderful jewelry ever since.

I absolutely adore the begonia necklace and earrings. 

This is the type of metalwork I would like to do in the future... A ginko leaf would be lovely in this setting, wouldn't it?

Today's etsy offering features teal/turquoise colored beads and brown/black/white pheasant feathers hung on sterling silver ear hooks. They are about 2 inches in length. Very dainty and pretty!
