Skull and Rose Earrings











These earrings, inspired by Day of the Dead artwork, were made from roses I crocheted from thread and some cool skull beads.

This will bring a little garden to your tea party.

Spike Bracelet




Punk rock, but soft edged. This was my own design/idea, I was inspired while on a run wearing a boring wrist sweat band.

Crocheted Skulls




In Mexico and here in parts of the U.S. we celebrate Dia de Muertos or Day of the Dead on the 2nd of November, it corresponds to the All Soul's day following All Saint's Day but it also has roots in an Aztec festival dedicated to the goddess of the underworld called Mictecacihuatl. These skulls are fashioned after the sugar skulls used to adorn the altars dedicated to the dead on this holiday.

New Tea Set







This is kind of a version 2.0. I made slight modifications to the teapot and teacups and added a serving plate, but mostly the new thing is the crocheted pink and white striped bag that carries it all. I made one out of fabric before but this is more functional and pretty cute, and you can use the bag as a tablecloth for the set, or as a bag  for anything or as a purse.
