Eve Earrings

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:37:56 -0500

$12.00
Like a piece of the garden of Eden dangling from your ears. They're perfect for summer, or for when you want to feel the spirit of summer.

These earrings are made up of small green suede leaves hand cut and attached to silver-toned chain. One earring has a bright red coral bead dangling at the end (the forbidden fruit). They measure a long and flirty 3 3/4", including the hook.

Button Ring

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:33:16 -0500

$7.00
A randomly cut and constructed metallic pewter ring held together with a lovely vintage button. The leather on this ring feels like a warm hug on your hand.

This would fit a size 8 best, but because of the nature of leather, you can probably go up or down a size with it. Even a slightly loose fit will stay on, and leather does stretch. It's about 1/2" wide.

Vintage Purse

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:28:40 -0500

$28.00
I'm not sure how old this is, but it is in pristine condition. It features leather in a gorgeous magenta shade, with a magnetic snap closure. The inside is a tan velvet material, and you can easily fit a wallet and other essentials inside. You can probably even get away with tucking the strap inside the bag and wearing it as a clutch.

Measurements:
8.5" h x 9.5" w
strap is approx 45" long (easily fits over the shoulder), and approx 1/4" in width

Saber Tooth Earrings

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:16:30 -0500

$12.00
The saber-tooth tiger was one of the great prehistoric hunters. They were one of a kind, and a force to be reckoned with. Wear these and tell everyone to clear a path.

These earrings are composed of white leather cut into tusk-like teeth, accompanied by a metal chain. They measure about 2 1/2" long total.

Keep Walking Necklace

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:30:28 -0500

$16.00
It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.
--Mother Theresa

One part preppy, one part feminine. This necklace features metal hardware used for men's loafers. This particular piece of hardware is a vintage dark bronze 3-linked chain which measures about 2" across. The rope is braided using a shoelace and torn fabric strips at a length of about 25", which is long enough to slip over the head without a clasp.

The overall effect is very euro/boho/preppy/original.

Sticks and Stones Necklace

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:29:44 -0500

$12.00
Earthy and lovely. The sticks and stones necklace is perfectly simple and dainty. It also has the added bonus of keeping you resilient.

It is composed of a brown leather 'stick' (cut into a random twig shape) which measures about 1 1/4" long, and a flashy labradorite 'stone' (labradorite is known to provide perseverance, strength and enhanced intuition). They hang from a 16" metal chain held by a lobster clasp.

The sticks and stones necklace is perfectly simple and dainty. It also has the added bonus of keeping you resilient.

It is composed of a violet suede 'stick' which measures about 1 1/4" long, and an aqua blue jade faceted 'stone' (jade acts as a ward against negative energies). I love these colours together. They hang from a 16" metal chain held by a lobster clasp.

SALE--Log Pin

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:52:18 -0500

$7.00
was $10

I saw this piece of leather, and it spoke to me. Yes, it said, "log", so that was that.

This is made up of a slightly distressed brown leather, with a little green suede leaf hanging from the side. A wood grain design has been sewn on. Dimensions are about 2" long and 1" wide.

Big Stud Ring - size 8 and 9

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:51:53 -0500

$11.00
This fall is all about the stud. This ring is made with a huge upcycled stud from what used to be a belt. It is basically a cocktail ring that you can wear all day, because it is so light and easy to wear. This would be an amazing contrast with a really simple and feminine outfit.

The stud is affixed to a small piece of black leather, sewn closed at the back. The stud itself is just under 3/4".

Added bonus: this can work on either a guy or a girl.

Please specify if you would like this ring in size 8 or 9 in the message to seller upon purchase.

Please note, leather will always stretch and conform to your finger, you can easily go up or down a half size, sometimes even a full-size. Convo if you have questions.

Big Stud Pin

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:30:19 -0500

$12.00
Sometimes a little goes a long way. This pin is made with a huge upcycled stud from what used to be a belt. On it's own, having a single stud adorn a jacket, hat, purse, or whatever you can think of adds just that little touch of bad-ass and sparkle.

The stud is affixed to a small piece of black leather, with a small pin at the back. It measures just over 1" square, and the stud itself is just under 3/4".

Added bonus: this can work on either a guy or a girl.

SALE--Futurist Necklace

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:30:19 -0500

$15.00
was $20

I created this on the fly, and I am quite happy with the results. It is named after one of the art movements of the early 20th century. Futurists were all about capturing movement and embracing the start of the modern age. This kind of angular pattern was a common motif.

This is composed of angularly cut leather pieces that have been painted gold, white and black, adhered and then sewn together. I attached a gunmetal chain that is 17" long to the leather piece that measures 4" across.

You will be the only girl on the block with this one.

Constellation Bangles

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:12:00 -0500

$16.00
The Constellation Bangles feature a pair of leather bangles (about 2.5" in diameter) held by a metal stud. I also randomly applied a second stud on a different part of each bangle so that they move around as you move. They are 1/2" in width, and will go with absolutely everything.

These are not heavy and clunky like regular bangles can sometimes be. The overall effect is something like a cuff, but more playful

P.S. My hands got good and dirty making these, so you know they are made with love!!

Torn Earrings

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 18:57:58 -0400

$11.00
I found some black leather with naturally torn edges, gold dusted them with gold leather spray paint, and looped them onto oxidized silver hoops. Dramatic. Simple. Lightweight.

1/2" silver hoop. Total length is about 2 1/4".

Button Ring

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:03:26 -0400

$7.00
A randomly cut and constructed dusty blue leather ring held together with a lovely white opalescent vintage button and orange thread. I liked the suede side of the leather better, so I decided to show that instead.

This would fit a size 8 best. Because of the nature of leather, you can probably go up or down a size with it. Even a slightly loose fit will stay on, and leather does stretch. It's about 1/2" wide.

Lady Macbeth Earrings

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:33:26 -0400

$13.00
Lady Macbeth...she's the original femme fatale. I saw this piece of rigid and sexy patent red leather, and immediately the idea of blood red daggers came to mind. These are the perfect thing to wear when you are up to no good. They are practically dripping.

These earrings are composed of two pieces of stiff patent leather (a scrap piece from my father's shoe repair shop), dyed black on the edges, and looped through handmade oxidized sterling silver hoops (the hoops were purchased through a seller on Etsy). I have enough leather for a few pairs, but once the leather is gone, so are these!

The longest leather piece is about 2 1/4". They will vary slightly with each piece, seeing as I have hand-cut them, but I think that makes each one special. Please note that the earrings may vary in length just slightly due to that fact. The hoops are 1/2" in diameter.

The earrings you see worn are my own...you will be getting a fresh, sopping wet pair of your own! Since I hand-cut every piece, your pair will be very similar, but not exactly the same.

Stud Ring

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:49:32 -0400

$6.00
A randomly cut and constructed buttery leather ring held together with a gold metal stud. This would fit a size 7 best, but because of the nature of leather, you can probably go up or down a size with it. Even a slightly loose fit will stay on, and leather does stretch. It's about 1/2" wide.

SALE--Queen of Sheba Earrings

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:53:13 -0400

$8.00
was $12

Who do you think you are, the Queen of Sheba? In this instance, you can say YES. You may or may not know that the Queen of Sheba was an actual person, queen of what is now known as Ethiopia. She may or may not have been romantically involved with King Solomon of Israel. Take her cue, and remember to always keep them guessing.

These earrings are made up of brown leather which have been spray painted a glorious gold, and cut in a classic shape. The full length is about 1 3/4", including the 1/2" oxidized silver hoops. They are a little more than 1/2" wide at the widest point.

Note: These earrings in the photo have sold. You will be getting your own very similar yet unique pair!

A Fine Perch Earrings--SALE

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:30:30 -0400

$8.00
WAS $11

Long, frisky and playful.

Much like the way a bird randomly decides on a resting place, I let my scissors do the talking when creating these branches, so no two are ever alike. Usually the best things happen when you go by gut and don't think about it too much.

These are made up of a rich brown leather I free-cut into twigs, and then looped onto 1/2" oxidized silver hoops. Total length is about 3 1/2".

Button Ring

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:57:15 -0400

A randomly cut and constructed rusty brown leather ring held together with a lovely turquoise vintage button. This leather is super soft and heavenly.

This would fit between a size 7 and 8. Because of the nature of leather, you can probably go up or down a size with it. Even a slightly loose fit will stay on, and leather does stretch. It's about 1/2" wide.
