Excitement!!!

Silja (http://www.5erg.com) was kind enough to send me a picture of herself wearing the Octopus pendant she won from my recent giveaway.

After the giveaway, I started looking at Silja's shop and really loved her work. I asked her if she would allow me to use her art to make some necklaces for my shop. She agreed, and I got to work immediately. Here is the result of the first set of pendants I made, using Silja's work.


I'm working tonight on getting more listed. So please check by with my shop to see all of the new items.

Please visit Silja's website and view all of her beautiful artwork.

New Rings in Sofa City Accessories Shop

I've continued my exploration into the world of shrink plastic. The fumes are hurting my head and killing all of my brain cells, but I'm having fun in the process.

Here a few examples of what I've made recently:

Rings are $5.95 each and can be found at

New Jewelry Shop

I was messing around with some shrink plastic and made some jewelry. I have only posted a few items, so far (too tired to list them all tonight). But I thought I would share and seek some opinions.

So, please, tell me what you think.

Necklaces are priced at $7.95 and bracelets at $5.95.

Life seems to have stopped recently for me. My beautiful little girl, Gizmo, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday.

It's all that's on my mind. So when I sat down to post a new blog entry, all I can think to say is how much I miss her and how empty life feels without this wonderful friend by my side.

Upcycled Bottle Pendant Light

I haven't updated the blog in a few days. With two jobs, this blog, the etsy co-op site, and my shop, I have been feeling a bit over-worked. I took a little bit of time away to work on some new items for the shop.

Today I made this light. It's constructed from a large plastic bleach bottle. I had considered adding a retro pattern to it to add some color. I'm looking for some suggestions. Leave it alone or brighten it up?

Please comment and let me know what you think.
