My studio is my laboratory…
“I thrive on experimentation in my creative process. Embracing new and challenging techniques is integral to my growth. When curating new collections, I strive to keep my options open, drawing inspiration from the intricate details of nature. Geometric petal patterns, the hues of an autumn landscape, and delicate insect wings are just a few things that fuel my creativity. My hope is that those who wear my pieces will be inspired to see nature through a fresh lens.“
Posting these to the shop this weekend, but 2 hair sticks are complete! I was trying to decide which one in terms of form I like best. They both work well and conform to the head. But I like the way the wings curve with my head. Let me know what you think?
2 last cicada pendants to go out tomorrow just in time for the holidays and a better shot of my new hair stick design! #makecicadatime
Just finishing some NEW hair accessories! Here’s my first hair stick…still needs polishing and forming #makecicadatime
New stones!! #labradorite
You all have seen me grow and I so appreciate each of you following my journey! Thanks so much for following me and I hope to see you at a future event! 💕 #makecicadatime
SHOP UPDATE: the plain cicada wing barrettes were such a hit during holiday shopping that they are sold out. I’ve just begun making a whole new batch, but they won’t be available until the New Year. I still have plenty of the garden wing variety so if you are looking for a unique and affordable handmade gift for you or someone you love, I can help you make those holiday dreams come true! And if you are in Baltimore, there’s free shipping/next day delivery. And you get $10 off when you buy two!
This show-stopper is officially under someone’s Christmas tree. When the buyer picked it up and handed it to me, we both just smiled. This is going to make someone special very happy. This was the first time I tried pliquing one of my origami cicadas and I learned so much from the process that I know I’ll be making more in an upcoming series… once I finish my Nocturnal Spring moth series. Oh who am I kidding? A series is never finished… I’m just getting started! #makecicadatime #handmadejewelry #smallbusiness #madeinbaltimore #cicadapendant #artdeco

I create unique custom pieces
Many ask, ‘Do you take custom orders?’ The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ I adore crafting unique pieces for clients and their loved ones. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Mother’s and Father’s Days, or any special occasion—you name it.
I also craft pieces to honor loved ones, including pets. My process blends mementos, old photos, and found objects to create cherished treasures. It all begins with a photo or a story. Curious to know more? Inquire about starting the process.
