What better way to celebrate the start of fall than with the Classic Autumn Stud Pack? 🧡🍄 These timeless designs are the perfect addition to a casual fall look. The pack features a brown acorn with a metallic bronze nut, a shimmery red mushroom with pearl accents, and a shimmery orange pumpkin.

It's ~finally~ the season for cool, crisp weather, cozy sweaters, hot coffees, and the delightful smell of fallen leaves.

Grout a pair of spiderweb studs with me! After the solid black clay is fully baked, pearl liquid clay is applied to the indented pattern and the excess is wiped clean with isopropyl alcohol. This is definitely a messy process, but the results are worth it! You can't tell, but I was sparkly all day.

Introducing the Orchard Stud Pack! The designs are inspired by our orchards here in northern Ohio. Featuring a pair of cherries on a striped background, a fuzzy peach, and a beautiful Honeycrisp apple! Despite looking tasty, these studs are not edible. Please don't gnaw on them. 🙂

What better way to get ready for football season than to pick up some new sports themed earrings? 🏈 I've got both studs and dangles available! Do you watch professional games, college, or high school games? Do you make a day of it or is it something that you turn on for background noise?

Well friends, mother nature sure hasn't been terribly kind to the outdoor market season this year. Unfortunately this weekend's event has been cancelled due to continuous rain. But my loss is your gain- I'm holding a flash sale! Through tomorrow, everything is 25% off online.

I don't know about you, but I just. can't. WAIT. to smell the fresh, crisp fall leaves! Taking a walk in the woods when the leaves are changing is just so special. I can't get enough of the fallen leaf smell! These leaf dangles are inspired by the pretty colors of the leaves as they start turning.

I can gush about my designs all day every day, but what REALLY matters is what you think about them! There's something so special about the moment of joy when you get to pick out your earrings for the day and see your outfit all put together. Making stuff with clay is fun, but THIS is my why 🫶

Isn't the Cutie Autumn Stud Pack just the sweetest? 💝 This pack features a teeny tiny red maple leaf, a delicious caramel apple stud, and the cutest orange bow stud! The leaf studs started out as a way to use scrap pieces of clay from the dangle leaves, but they're so stinkin cute they had to stay!

Ooooh, I keep forgetting to post here! Here’s a peek at what I’ve been working on this week!

A white ceramic tile full of small clusters of polymer clay blueberries. Each cluster has three berries that are a deep blue, with a divot with a darker purpley-blue color as shading.

A white ceramic tile full of cherry stud earrings on a black circle background. Each piece has two deep red cherries with two green stems leading up to one green leaf at the top. Some of the leaves face left and others face right, to make a symmetrical pair.

Three pairs of stud earrings on my palm against a background of blooming Black Eyed Susan flowers. The top design is an orange with a little bit of shading and a leaf; the middle design is a lemon with a leaf; the bottom design is a lime with a bit of shading and a leaf at the top.

A pair of purple grape earrings held up against a background of grass. There are three shades of reddish purple grapes, a green vine, and a green grape leaf. There are metallic gold balls at the bottom of each grape that hold the piece together.

Pssst, do you want the very first look at what I’ve been working on this week? 😉 I’ve made so many of these tiny heart-shaped strawberries!

A grid of 14 red polymer clay hearts, approximately 1 inch each, with a pattern that looks like strawberry seeds pressed into them. At the top of the heart, five green leaves are placed to look like the leaves on a freshly picked strawberry!

40 teeny tiny heart-shaped strawberries on an acrylic tile above marble. These strawberries are so small, only three leaves fit on each berry.

A look at the Pride Rose collection in direct sunlight, and the Tum of Approval from Spare, who *really* wanted in the photoshoot! 🐾 EVERYONE deserves to be seen, loved and honored for who they are. Wear these fun florals as a reminder that your pride is powerful! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💖 #pridecollection #pridemonth

A hand full of 10 unique pairs of pride-themed rose stud earrings, against a grass background.

Not pictured, but available, is the genderfluid flag.

The same handful of roses, against the tummy of a very grey kitty who rolled over for tum rubs! Kitty is happily rolling on concrete.

I spent some time making sure each color in my pieces closely represented the specific shades used in the pride flags. I’m really happy with how all of the designs look!

A pair of rainbow rose earrings, with a red center and working their way out to purple, on a walnut wood surface.

A pair of trans pride rose earrings, starting with light blue in the center, then pink, white, pink, and blue again, sitting on a walnut wood surface.

A pair of lesbian pride rose earrings, with dark orange in the center, followed by light orange, white, light pink, and dark pink, sitting on a walnut wood surface.

A pair of genderfluid pride earrings, with pink in the center, followed by white, purple, black, and dark blue. They are sitting on a walnut wood surface.
