Aloha nui kākou!
Been a LONG time, hasn't it? About 2 years or so since I put jewelry making on hold. I missed it! And in times when I thought maybe I should just end that chapter in my life, it's been nice having people from friends and 'ohana to other artists ask about it 😅 love you all!
It's still a slow start as I realize how rusty I got, and oh geez, bifocals are definitely approaching on the horizon😩😝
My website is still closed, and I may convert it to a gallery only. I'll try to keep the chocolate shop stocked with a few things as I can get them made. And if I'm only making a few pieces here and there, just switch to posting here and accepting Venmo payments instead of paying website processing fees.

But anyway! I'll be hanging out with mom at the Mahi'ai Made shop this Saturday, May 2. Come say hi! Bring any pieces that need a fix or refresh.

‼️ I'll also be accepting pre-order lei for .and.needle ‼️

Mother's Day is just around the corner...👀

A teaser.
And a notice.

After over a decade (has it really been that long??🤯) of being a vendor at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel Merrie Monarch Craft Fair, this is the first year I can't make it back.😔 I went through a few stages of grief over it, and I'll be honest, there's still a little bargaining trying to happen in my head before fully accepting the reality.
But fear not! Jewelry will be making its way down and showcased in some form or another.
Now, my mom Cecily will be in charge of this so I have no control over how she'll be handling it. I'm extremely grateful she offered to do this for us, but I also know even if she asks me how I want it done she's gonna do whatever she wants to do anyway!😝
You may have to go in and request to see it, and it may be in baggies, not be on displays.
My obsessive perfectionism is really getting test here, lol, but I won't be a choosy beggar about it!🫠
I will give a heads up cash will probably be easiest, but if it needs to go through the chocolate shop register I'll figure that out.
If I post a picture and you want something before it's in Hilo, comment or DM me you want dibs and I'll send a payment request and I can either ship it to you or mark it on hold for pickup from the shop.🤍🩶🖤🩶🤍

Aiya! I got so swept up in 2023 just tumbling right into 2024 without any pause and forgot to MAHALO PIHA you all for your orders this holiday season!
I'm forever grateful for your continued support and kindness, especially after I have been known to disappear and reappear randomly for quite some time. This whole jewelry venture is based on being my mental health outlet/art therapy, and I'm unashamed to say I'm still very flawed! But I hope at least the jewelry has been getting better over the years!🤣
I'm trying to get a blog going on www.mejirobyom.com, but I think I've been taking on too many tasks for a long time, so it might not happen. Also trying to work through my perfectionism over starting anything. Even when you know it's never perfect, it's still hard to get over that mental hump!🤪
•
One big update though is that we are finally COMING HOME!🙌
Still no set date yet, but we're working really hard to get our Oregon house ready to list in March. Because of that timeline, I've made the extremely hard decision to not commit to Merrie Monarch this year. But I will be sending jewelry to in case I can't make it personally!

Getting through the final stages of a gnarly sinus flu!😷 and decided to take the downtime as an opportunity to play with AI.🙃
Very interesting to see how advanced and integrated AI has become, for all sorts of very user friendly functions!
I'm still a purist when it comes down to it. I love the tangible quality and the patience and skill that goes into doing things "IRL."
BUT, time is often a luxury we don't have these days, and I'm excited to see if I can better express the emotion I'm trying to convey behind each piece and get them out there faster for you than I've previously been able to do. Especially as I move into more one of a kind pics that take more individualized attention to photograph, edit, list, etc.
