Welcome

I hope you enjoy what I create…
Each piece is lovingly created using vintage and antique bits and most pieces are one of a kind. Head to my “Shop Online” page to see what’s available. If you’d like to discuss something custom or have questions about a piece please reach out to me via the contact page (link at the bottom of each page). I have recently added tallow balm to my repertoire. You will, also, find it on the “Shop Online” page. If the inventory shows none available, please reach out as I will most assuredly be making some more. Enjoy!

Look at these lovely options to adorn yourself for the Independence Day festivities! Wear one piece or layer them up. Any of these pieces would be great to wear any time of the year, as well!

If you're curious about tallow balm, this reel explains the benefits of tallow as well as the benefits of the ingredients I use in my blend. (Just hold your thumb on the screen to pause the reel if it moves too fast.)
I render pasture raised/grass-fed beef tallow that I purchase from @yonderwayfarmer in Fayetteville, TX. I use organic hexane fee castor oil, frankincense, neroli, helichrysum, & myrrh essential oils from Young Living (each with their own benefits for your skin). I make it in small batches.
Each jar is 2oz by weight (a little goes a long way)
$40 per jar
@thesource__la and @thewoodlandshealthmarket stock it, or you can purchase directly from me.

I am wondering if I should add simple, plain chains or add beadwork to the chains 🤔? What do you think?

Finishing steps...
1 - 4. Time to solder. First, I solder the bezel around the vintage opticians lens. Then, I solder on the vintage brass pieces.
5. Solder on the jump rings.
6. Clean all the flux off.
7. Patina the metal, then clean again.
8 - 10. Polish and protect the solder.
11. Ready for their chains.
Big drop next week. Who's ready for a live Meet the Maker? Let's say Thursday?
