Summer clearance sale!
20% off automatically applied at check out.

Heading up north in a week and thought I'd give y'all one last shot at some of these bbs before I close the store for the summer.

Current silver prices have skyrocketed since these were first made and priced, and I've never adjusted them to match inflation.

Get em at this price while you can.

Pheasant by the Fence Earrings
Officially posted to my website // available
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who entered/shared the raffle recently. I'm so glad we could raise some funds for the Mpls community together. 𖤓
Currently, I am trying to balance staying well informed with the horrors of the world, focus on my job, and somehow squeeze in the time to create more art.
I did the barbed wire portion of these earrings a few months ago, and then stopped. Originally they were going to go on some hoops. When I sat back down at the bench recently, I decided they should be paired with these prairie grass looking dendritic agates. I think I made the right choice, how about you?
I said it in the reel, but fun fact about pheasants: they like to hang out by the road near barbed wire fence posts because they eat the gravel to digest their food better.
That's why it's called road hunting.
Finishing these earrings reminded me I still have so many ideas I have yet to make real.
I doubt you see a lot of those ideas soon, but I promise they are coming.

𖤓 Exciting Life Update ⋆ ☾
For anyone who is actually seeing this due to my account inactivity~
I have some big news I'm excited to share, and it'll help explain why I've still been very mia the last few weeks (despite my promises).
So! the thing is, I'm going to be taking another, even bigger, step away from jewelry than even before.
I started a new job as a welding instructor at the local school in town where I live, and I've been really busy settling in.
Some of you know I was a blacksmith and welder before I started my silversmithing journey, and maybe some of you even know that part of that time in my life I was also teaching and volunteering as a welder for various community art projects and free community welding classes. All that is to say, I've always valued welding as a trade and I strongly believe in skill sharing as a tool to build stronger communities, and I'm really happy to be stepping back into that role more officially.
I love silversmithing and I plan to keep making new things here and there, but to be completely honest, putting myself in a capitalistic role was hard on my nervous system. I've learned a lot about myself the last few years and I know now that I'd much rather make art out of sheer want and not just plain necessity, at least for a while. And not depending on social media for any sort of livable income is a stress reliever in itself, to say the least.
I'm sorry for my promises of more to come the last few months. I was juggling a lot of life changes and trying to figure out my next step. I think this is a good path for me for now, and I hope y'all stick around for the few and far between things I do manage to make in the meantime.
There's still a lot of goodies in the shop, and if you've read this far, use code WELD at checkout to get 10% off everything in it.
Thanks for the support and understanding.
Love to you all. Xoxo
