colorful trio earrings

A pair of earrings made with three (3) Rexlace circle stitches dangling from silver chain. I have three (3) color schemes to choose from: Bruise is blue, indigo, purple, and black; Toxic is pink, yellow, neon green, and white; Rainbow is pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

These earrings are straight out of the arts & crafts gazebo at summer camp. The vivid, shiny twists absolutely radiate a fun and funky energy. Also you'll be a smash hit under a blacklight!

black and white with charms

A pair of earrings made with black, white, & glittery clear Rexlace twist stitches accented with two colorful translucent, plastic charms each. One has a green cherub holding a bow & arrow and a blue alarm clock, the other has a red daisy and yellow/orange yin-yang symbol. The charms dangle from silver chain on either side of the twists.

I have a wealth of craft supplies from many, MANY years of just living my funky life, collecting things, and holding onto what speaks to me. These little plastic charms come from a DIY jewelry kit that my mom got me as a wee preteen. I remember it so vividly, it had these silver memory wire chokers with hook clasps that you could string colorful beads onto and customize to match your daily outfits. The Rexlace came in a big neon variety pack and was a gift from my dad just this past year because he saw it and thought of me (and probably thought I could use the distraction from, y'know, life). While I've definitely made little keychains in the past, as I'm sure we all have, I have since really latched onto this material and it's become a part of my regular creative practice; soothing my hands and my brain at the same time.

I think these earrings are super cool, funky, and they make a bold statement about staying playful and creative.

rainbow loopies

A pair of earrings made with a Rexlace circle stitch surrounded by six (6) plastic translucent ring beads stacked vertically dangling from silver chain.

In any given toy room, on any given day, in any part of the world, you're likely to find at least one of those little rainbow stacking ring sets. Now you can flaunt that aesthetic on your ears to accessorize your #Toycore outfits.

I've had these little plastic rings for ages and guess what! They fit like a dream around a two-lace circle stitch. Just snug enough to stay put, with a little bit of give so they can be fussed about if the mood takes you; please note the rings are not glued or attached to the core.

pink & purple

A pair of earrings made with two (2) shades of pink & purple Rexlace square stitches woven together into a circle* dangling from wire hooks.

One day while sitting in a pile of craft supplies, as one does, I had a vision: a funky pair of square stitch Rexlace earrings woven into hoops! HOOPS! What could be cooler? I have worn the first tester pair I made for myself out in public and gotten so many compliments! These are real head-turners and I will definitely be making more. My quest to utilize this oft dismissed "summer camp" material in new & creative ways continues!

neon orange & yellow

A pair of earrings made with neon orange, neon yellow, black, and white Rexlace alternating square and circle stitches woven together into circles* dangling from wire hooks. You can choose between black or white accent colors.

The hoops are back, baby! Well, they never left, but I'm making more. I like them! I hope you do too.

I was inspired by a neon orange/yellow under construction aesthetique; very transportation chic, darling. Very orange cab, yellow cab. Accessorize your crossing guard vest with these cool statement earrings and show the world your flair.

clear glitter

Another pair of my signature Scoubidou dangly hoop earrings, this time with clear lace infused with flecks of silver glitter. They evoke a scene of snow glittering in the sunlight as they dangle and sway.
