For Glory co.

Officially settled in Baltimore! Already have my eye on a few pop-up markets and ideas for new products👀

Story time// Like many of my products, I had my ideal vision of what I wanted these earrings to look like and so I got started on the process. My mind was set on faux turquoise stone details for these. I have to admit I really don’t love making canes(the process needed to get the faux stone effect) it feels time consuming, messy and often doesn’t come out the way I hope. I worked SO long on making this faux stone for various different pieces and it came out…not great. Slightly burnt and the shapes were not pairing well with the design I had in mind. I was so discouraged and kept the burnt pieces for like 3 weeks thinking I could still save them, was clearly in denial that they were unusable😂 Anyways, today I woke up and really wanted to get these earrings finished so I can finally share what I envisioned. As much as it pained me, I tossed the entire original batch of turquoise pieces (pictured on the blue tray) and ended up making a cute little baby cane just incase it didn’t come out good. Thankfully the faux stone came out perfect and I finally have the earrings I intended to make! A lesson I’ve learned multiple times and clearly still need to be reminded of is things don’t always come out great the first try. Any art form often requires lots of trial and error but in the end it was worth it to get a result I am proud of✨

The first picture is the finished product. Swipe to see how it started and the journey of not abandoning my idea lol

P.S. I give you permission to laugh/cringe at the earring attempt in the last picture…it was not good😂

All ready for Saturday’s Market! Someone got curious as to what I was doing➡️
