5 out of 5 starsI love the bracelet the artist made and I love personal touches she added to the wrapping of item and notes on the receipt. Those are huge selling points for me. It envelopes the craft with positivity and love. You feel like your buying form a friend or a close neighbor, I love it. It makes the bracelet feel even more special. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsGorgeous and so much fun! Catt made this custom piece for me based on a necklace I saw in her Etsy repertoire. She posted it in a reasonable time and shipped it to me fast! Every time I wear this unique necklace, I get compliments from everyone, and I always tell them about Catt!

Olive Bites Studio - because biting's like kissing, except there's a winner
My name is Catherine (Cat) Ivins and I make really cool new stuff out of really cool old stuff.
I live in a little house at the beautiful Jersey shore.
I have one hubby, one daughter and one dog. My design studio is called Olive Bites (after my pup, who doesn't anymore) where I design and create 2 sustainable and recycled jewelry lines called Uncorked Jewelry® and Polarity Lockets®.
My Uncorked jewelry is made with cork bark that is hand-harvested in Portugal (without harming the cork oak trees) and is upcycled in my NJ studio into something handmade and beautiful and totally unique.
I also recycle corks for many bars at the Jersey Shore - luckily for me we have a lot of them! And people from all over the planet send me their corks - luckily for me I have alot of friends who really, really like to drink.
My cork obsession began with a wine cork hubs and I saved from the first night we spent in our new house. Being the crafty goddess I am I pulled out a super thick red magic marker I had used for our packing boxes and wrote NEW HOUSE on it (wasn't I clever?).
This NEW HOUSE cork was soon joined by PORTLAND VACATION and ANNIVERSARY and NEW BABY (well, truthfully the baby came first, but this way makes a better story).
Corks were soon filling every drawer and every closet and every nook and cranny until it was either make something or stop drinking wine (note- we did not stop drinking wine).
I want to deliver a unique view of something we have all seen before and hopefully get everyone thinking about new ways of seeing and using some of the other things in our lives. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed making it!
