"The Los Bagels"

Originally, these earrings were dubbed "The Golden Girls" when created last summer, but it just didn't fit so I'm changing it up. Hey, don't judge! It's totally allowed - there are no Greebling rules. Besides, don't you agree that the layered brown-gold tones bear resemblance to an Everything Bagel or some Baklava? Mmmmmm, Baklava (Homer Simpson doughnut voice).....

And so it is that these rescued-button earrings are now a shout out to the rad Northern California bakery, Los Bagels. Just one of the many things that made growing up in Humboldt so great. Be sure to like their FB page and stop by for some Chango Bars of you're ever in their neck of the woods!

Greenbling Tale

"The jewelry game" is what my daughter has named it. At my home in Southern California, I sprawl piles of vintage trinkets, old buttons, and broken jewelry across our dinning room table then attack it with pliers until something new emerges - something recycled, handmade, and original.

The style of each piece is as varied as the materials used to make it. One week will produce large, flashy necklaces full of funky colors while the next week will be all about monotone dainty bracelets. After all, no one design fits all. The fun of jewelry is that it can capture endless moods and styles. Whatever it may be, each item represents something I loved making and am proud of. Wear it however you want, make it your own, and enjoy!
