Thinking about branding today. I’m starting with some jewelry display cards and redoing my logo text. I always felt the cursive was a little hard to read! And the blue feels a little more on brand than the previous pink. #smallbusiness #crafty #design #pdx

Thank you! I grew, collected, and pressed the yarrow myself!

This statement set will make an impact with the sparkly cut crystal pendant. Maroon freshwater pearl and dangle earring set available on my Etsy! #handmadejewelry #crystals #jewelry #gifts rainyferncreations.etsy.com/listing/4504...

Trying out a new way to keep my plant pressings stored. I think I need to pack some more paper layers in there to keep them tight but this looks good so far. #botanica #pdx #art #handmadejewelry #crafty #witchy #witchsky

Yesterday’s market was AWFUL. I only sold like $50 of stuff and I suffered every minute of it lol. The heat was terrible! #pdx

The set up for my final market and it 90F out omg. It’s so hot! #pdx #handmadejewelry #craftsky #crafty #witchy #witchsky

Tomorrow is my last Thursday market of the season, then I’ll be shifting to mostly online and custom orders except for a couple holiday markets. Here’s a small restock! #handmadejewelry #crafty #witchy #witchsky #botanica #pdx

Some new pieces this morning. I think I’d like to further explore this cut in half frond design. I like it but I think I can improve it with some background colors or borders. What do you think? #craftsky #crafty #witchy #witchsky #pdx

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I agree, there’s definitely pluses and minuses here. The hair consideration is a good one!

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Tried a couple different necklace chains to fit the set… I think the chunkier chain looks better but I’m still not quite sold. #handmadejewelry #craftsky #jewelry #pdx

Finally putting together some resin and plant gift sets. What do you think? #handmadejewelry #crafts #witchy #witchsky #botanica #pdx

Today it looks like the smoke is starting to get pushed east, but it’s too early to see big changes yet. Still gross outside. #pdx #pnw #fireseason

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Not yet, but I keep my eyes open!

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Aqi at my location is worse this morning but hopefully an easterly wind should start today and start blowing smoke away… we’ll see. #pdx #pnw #fireseason

Last week someone unfriended me because they thought I was a witch after I went outside to feed my crows… HMMMM. #pdx #witchsky

Did you know there’s a type of lavender called fern leaf lavender? I grow this from seed every year, and this year I’m pressing some for my resin work! #handmadejewelry #botanica #witchy #witchsky #pdx

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Thank you! I’m very happy with how the ferns are looking, and I’m excited to see the yarrow. Fern leaf lavender is next into the press.

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

YUCK. And market is cancelled this Thursday. That’s probably for the best. #pdx #pnw #fireseason

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Prepping some more plants for my resin pieces. The bracken fern and sword fern are ready. I’ve got some yarrow pieces in the press and I’m just waiting for them to fully dry. Exciting! #handmadejewelry #witchy #witchsky #botanica #pdx

The smoky horizon in every direction today fills me with a real sense of dread. #pdx

My mom requested some custom Halloween sets for her and her friends. Earrings, bracelets, and maybe a necklace. Here’s the earrings! #pdx #handmadejewelry #crafty #witchy

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Crystal sets, $12 for earrings, $18 with necklace. I finally posted another custom jewelry listing on Etsy! These are made to order and come in a number of color options. #handmadejewelry #pdx #gifts #smallbusiness rainyferncreations.etsy.com/listing/4547...

Some new pendant designs this week. What do you think, with or without bales? #handmadejewelry #resinart #pdx

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Here’s some earrings I’ve made with the kit! I’m a big fan of green and gold. #handmadejewelry #craftsky #crafts #pdx

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

This kit did NOT come with pliers or snips, so that cost isn’t included. Shipping was free! Final thoughts? I would use this for my $5 earrings or as a teaching/learning set. #handmadejewelry # 6/6

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Lastly, the colored beads! The crystals do appear to be glass and NOT acrylic, which is nice. No complaints. Multiple sizes not available in all colors. The stones? Low quality dyed. Ok for the price. 5/? #handmadejewelry #craftsky

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

The last metal component I got were the ear wires. Arguable most important for earrings lol. They said “stainless steel hypo allergenic” and 50 pairs each, which is a great price… but would you trust these? They SEEM right… #handmadejewelry #craftsky 4/?

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Next: simple metal spacer beads. I actually don’t have much complaint here, other than it’s difficult to gauge the hole size sometimes. These seem great for the price and I would buy again. #craftsky #handmadejewelry 3/?

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

First up: Headpins. If I’m making earrings, I usually like the 2” flat end head pins. The ones I got will get the job done, but there were SO MANY bent ones. Straightening them out can sometimes weaken them. #handmadejewelry #craftsky

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Not for the price, and not customizable. Everything you see here was individually chosen, so I could get whatever I wanted… but there are some quality control issues with some of the items. Pics incoming!

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

I wanted to see what kind of jewelry supplies I could order off of SHEIN for under $20, and how far those supplies would take me. I definitely have some thoughts. Pictured: my SHEIN haul for $17.11. #craftsky #handmadejewelry #pdx 1/?

Churned out a few chip bead pride bracelets this afternoon. After two days of migraine with a market event thrown in there, I really couldn’t sit at my work desk for more than an hour. Uhg what a weekend. #handmadejewelry #smallbusiness #pdx

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Great suggestion! Is there any particular material I should for scratch testing?

Help me identify these stones! I have some guesses but I’d like to hear what you think. There’s two types, here’s the first one. 1/2 #identification #geology #beads #crystals

Unfortunately yesterdays event was kind of a dud, but that’s ok. Not every event can be a winner. In total I made $250 at two markets this week. Not great, not terrible.

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

I used aquamarine, rose quartz, and white howlite to make this trans pride bracelet. I think the colors look pretty good but the blue is a tiny bit light. The search continues for the perfect stone. #handmadejewelry #pdx #craftsky

I still have a migraine today but I will STILL be at my neighborhood block party over in north Portland. I’m lucky my migraines aren’t debilitating but it still doesn’t feel great.

Erica Hernandez @rainyfern.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Gone be reppin some ace pride at tomorrow’s market. I think this stone combination looks great! Obsidian, labradorite, howlite, and amethyst. #handmadejewelry #pdx

Ive actually never seen one but they look similar to an invasive, so we’re told to watch out for them in horticulture.
