🌊 As I package up orders from my recent sale, I see so many familiar names. Names that have passed through my hands dozens of times before, names like a song I could sing in my sleep.

🌊 So many of you have collected my work for years and have curated your own collections of pieces that are symbolic and unique to you.

🌊 And then there are the new names, cherished people who have recently found my work and chose send love and energy and money out into the ether, with trust that they will have a beautiful object in hand soon.

🌊 You are all such generous souls who show up for me: when the world looks grim and creation is a solace, when my bench is a whirlwind and I scarcely have time for tea, when I am unsure of a collection and who it will speak to.

🌊 When you buy the work of an artisan craftsman, small business, or fine artist, you are holding up a life above choppy, uncertain waters.

🌊 Which with all the gas-guzzling, indestructible tankers plowing through the sea all around us, is no small feat on your part.

🌊 And I know I say it a lot, but I am endlessly grateful for you, and am in awe of all the hands holding me out of the water. A thousand thanks from my heart to yours.

< Picture from several years ago: Dutch braids, local flannel, and the Atlantic sea. Not much has changed, still leaning towards open water any chance I get. >

Just focusing on gemstones and singing shapes out

Just focusing on gemstones and singing shapes out of metal at the moment. 😮‍💨

If you have a wonderful, distracting book recommendation, send it my way! I have loved reading all your recs. "I Called Him Necktie" was a particular favorite.

💫 Also, a quick reminder, the sale in the main shop ends tomorrow, the discount shows up automatically in tour cart. And then over the weekend I will shut down the shop and start moving things to Etsy at their regular prices.)

These rings though! There is something so darkly magic about autumn labradorite.

Wisps of gray smoke and layered crackled stone, like any rough quartz plucked from a riverbed. But then you tilt them just the right way, and they conjure up the most brilliant flash and swirl of color.

Something spooky this way comes! If I can get some good photographing weather, that is. 🫠

Soon soon though! And I will ship as soon as possible in hopes of pre-Halloween arrivals.

If you have some bright, overcast skies above you right now, push them my way please!

In addition to the little Memento Mori coffin ring

In addition to the little Memento Mori coffin rings, earrings, and necklaces, there will also be the tiniest handful of Arachnes!

With concentrated work and sore hands, I was able to finish these for you October souls.

If all goes well, this year's small Nocturne collection will release Sunday or Monday! Eeeee! 👻🎃💙

With a cup of midnight oil and equal parts autumn air drifting through the window, I am nearly ready to photograph these Memento Mori pieces for you!

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on the poll in my stories, it looks like it is nearly equal requests for necklaces and earrings.

I won't be able to make enough for everyone who voted in the poll, but I have the gemstones for about 10 necklaces and 8 pairs of earrings.

Keep an eye out for a preview on the blog/newsletter! I think this one will be a quick one without too much lead up, in hopes of getting these spooky little lovelies to you as soon as possible.

💙💀 Call for ring sizes, all you ghostly gals

💙💀 Call for ring sizes, all you ghostly gals and October souls! 💀💙

This year's only Nocturne design will be the petite version of the Memento Mori ring.

Crackling blue and soft green labradorite coffin gemstones set amidst a twining vine border and a single flower laid at the base.

Inside the ring band are the Latin words
"Memento Mori" which translates roughly to "remembrance of death" or "remember you must die." These serve are encouragement to not wast a moment of your life.

They are set atop a narrow rectangle band that fit true to size.

If you'd like there to be a ring in your size during the release, call out your size below and I will take a tally!

Hoping to ship before the end of the month, which with autumn vigor and jugs of cider, I should be able to accomplish. 💀💙⚰️👻🎃
