My fiancee's mixtape series was the inspiration behind this new line.

Classic hip hop will serve as the bridge :)

Museums....

I love them.
Every Tuesday, here in San Diego, you can find a different museum offering free days.

Yesterday at the Museum of Man, I saw an amazing Egyptian Exhibit.

I learned a lot, and felt inspired when I left.

I just want to lecture to you on everything I learned.. but who has time for that?

My new creations are inspired by what I saw yesterday. Take a journey with me....

Maat: The concept of order, truth, regularity and justice which was all important to the ancient Egyptians. It was the duty of the pharaohs to uphold maat.

Maat was most often represented by a feather in hieroglyphs.
These tiger feathers are bonded to brass chain, and accented by brass and gold.






Nu: A swirling watery chaos from which the cosmic order was produced. In the beginning there was only Nu.

How can you not observe these stunning faux South African baole beads (w/sterling silver accents) and not see water; feel its force.

These are 4" total, all accents are sterling silver.




...and here is an updated photo of the gorgeous feathers I posted yesterday. I don't think these will last too long on the site, so don't wait! I can only make 1.

adornments for toes....

a few new items....
asymmetrical feather earrings w/ carnelian and African brass

a vintage watch face on hammered brass, wide band, adjustable ring :)


















hand-coiled by me, in a variety of styles.
i use gold wire, sterling silver wire, gunmetal wire...

pewter ankhs, jasper, garnet.

i wrap mine at a minimum of 1.25" in length.
i love when the spiral extends up and down the length of my toe.

if you prefer a smaller toe ring, let me know. i'd love to do something custom, just for you.

play-errrrr....

1 of my favorite Dilla beats, and SV songs EVER.



RIP to Dilla and to Baatin.

...so yeah

Kiiiiiind of a scary movie addict.



Funny thing about a zombie movie happening in real life is that we'd be the cause of our demise. Not them.

Sex.





a custom request from a supporter.
the leather is of heavier weight so the earrings remain laid out in the midst of her glorious locs.

all components are sterling silver.

New New :)
