🌹Thank you for supporting my business these past few years. (Business closed-see announcement post)

Decided to do a small drop of mustard seed necklaces! You can preorder them (website linked in bio) only for the next week and they’ll arrive in time for Christmas. Here’s some info on the history and meaning of mustard seed jewelry:
The mustard seed is a symbol of faith and luck. Mustard seed necklaces were first popular in Victorian times. Then in the ‘40s and ‘50s, they became popular again as good luck charms.

The mustard seed is used in the Bible as a reminder that even a little faith can move mountains.

“. . . if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 17:20

Dear friends,

I have made the difficult decision to discontinue my jewelry and bouquet preservation business. If you have placed an order with me, I will still be working on that, I just won’t be taking any new orders. I know that this may be a disappointment for some who had interest in booking with me. If you are wanting to have your bouquet preserved, I would recommend checking out Blossom & Rhyme. The Knutson Farms Flower Shop and Ashley’s Room will have my jewelry until they sell out.

I greatly appreciate the overwhelming support I’ve had for my business these past few years. I’m so thankful for all the people I’ve had the chance to create things for. I have been blessed with such an amazing community and poured myself into each piece I’ve made. Making pieces fulfilled my lifelong passion I’ve had for creating.

I have decided to focus on one thing, teaching piano and violin students. I still will create resin pieces for myself, as a hobby, and may share some of those pieces from time to time.

A fairly new addition I’ve added recently are ring holders! Which one is your favorite?

A few months ago, I made these “test frames” for myself. I am documenting how they age by taking a photo of them every month. As they start showing aging, my plan is to color-correct one and leave one natural. I made these pieces almost identical so I could compare how a color-corrected frame vs. a natural frame age. For those wondering what color-correction is, I shared a little about it in a recent post.

Happy first day of fall! Throwback to this pumpkin I decorated a couple years ago 🌸🌺🌼🪻🌿

Jewelry is another great way to remember your special day! I can make necklaces, earrings, or bracelets in either sterling silver or gold-filled. Flowers that work great for this are small ones like baby’s breath. For bigger flowers (like roses), they can also work well in a jewelry piece if their petals are torn up into small pieces like this necklace. Pendants are available in several sizes.

Here’s a 6” x 6” resin block I recently worked on. I love resin blocks because they can showcase flowers that are dried three-dimensionally (vs. flowers that are pressed flat). Flowers dried this way retain their vibrant colors and almost look like they are fresh! Florist:

A tray is a great option if you not only want something to decorate with but also want something that’s functional. Flowers can either be pressed flat for trays or dried three-dimensionally.

This is a 16” x 20” framed arrangement I recently worked on. I color-corrected most of the flowers in this piece. Sometimes flowers change color when they are pressed. The second photo shows what these pressed flowers looked like before color correction. Color-correction is a process where I use paint to hide blemishes and bring out flowers’ natural beauty, in a similar way to how foundation makeup is used on skin. The goal is to help them look closest to the colors they were when they were fresh. If you’d like to find out more about color-correction, don’t hesitate to ask!
