Jewelry & Recycled Pop Culture Accessories Handmade in RVA

I have always loved to craft and long dreamed of starting my own handmade business. One lovely spring day I was outside on my porch listening to my favorite band and ripping up old paper to make handmade recycled paper. The song "Ripping It Down" by The Rushes came on my iPod, and it seemed like the most perfect name since so much of my crafting involves taking old objects and ripping them down, up, and sideways, to repurpose and recycle the materials. RippingItDown was born!

Over the years, I have found my niche in geeky recycled pop culture accessories and quirky jewelry. Now I can share my obsessions with the world, and so can you! Outside of etsy, my work can be found at craft shows, music festivals, and sci fi, comic book, anime and horror conventions! I LOVE this job!

    I have been an avid crafter as long as I can remember. I am a dabbler, a jack of all trades, but recently I have focused on quirky jewelry and recycled pop culture accessories.

Additional policies and FAQs
Because many of my items contain recycled or vintage parts, I cannot guarantee all the materials used. When I know specifics, they are included in the item description, otherwise I honestly don't know what specific material types my items are made of. Thanks to the CPSIA, I have to state that NONE of my items are intended for use by children.

All of my pop culture paper goods are made by recycling previously existing items. I do not reproduce images and no copyright infringement is intended. As such, all of my items are one-of-a-kind, although I have a large magazine stash and am happy to try to accommodate custom orders!

If you have an questions or concerns about anything, or you'd like to discuss a custom request, please do contact me. Thanks!
