I've done it. I've gone and set up an Etsy account (and started a twitter)

I can't believe myself! It took this long to come up with something creative I could produce in reasonable bulk to hopefully be sold. I started making leather earrings and pendants for a pretty fair price of around $10 a pop. WoolenNickles is open for business! The idea for the first pair, 001, came to me in a dream. I wanted to make a present for my sisters 22nd birthday and in my sleep state came up with that first pair. I've been brainstorming for the other designs, using various shapes around the apartment as inspiration and circular guides.

Oh and I probably won't get used to tweeting for a while, but shoot me a tweet or ideas @WoolenNickles .

For now, here is a pic of my sister enJOYing her new jewelry.

The latest edition of Anna "jewelry" hand crafted wooden button, and leather band cut from a discarded chair I harvested some time in high school I still have bits and pieces of.

presents this year

Finally Christmas is over and I get to show all you out there on the Internet what I made for my close friends and sisters this year.
Earrings! hand crafted from a branch that used to belong to the tree in our back yard. These are already gifted, but I'm experimenting on a few new designs, and if anyone is interested I'd be happy to sell you a pair (let's say five bucks plus the price of a stamp these days). You can find my contact information somewhere on this blog, email me peeps.

Edit: I forgot to tell you, I traded a pair of these to Stacy Kirages, of Modernizm, for the latest issue of her self-published zine. Check out her Tumblr, she's a pretty cool cat.
