full moon energies and blog posts.

...the full moon last night was incredible.

full moon's can create intense waves of emotion in some of us. if things get too crazy, try to quiet your thoughts, and listen to your inside voice. it's guiding you all the time. the summer solstice is upon us, and the full moon is just prepping us to ride all of that glorious energy!



this is the view from our bedroom window w/ the moon shinin' brightly over DTLA (downtown la)


Petit Modele is an incredible artist and incorporated our "Get Down On It" triangles into her latest piece!



so f*ckin dope. i need this on my daughter wall ....when I have one.



the fly ladies over at Pink Grasshopper stopped by our table at Thread, and we shared some great energy. they gave me a shoutout on their blog, so check it (and them) out!
thanks to gorgeous Mimi and Saba!




The THREADshow love continues with Lilliam highlighting our pieces over at Mondette in an amazing write up!




Travis over at BloggingLA loved our cuffs and individuality in a sea of feathers and chunky necklaces at this seasons THREAD.

Never before have I felt that my individual style was so valued than at this year's show. From my pieces to my setup. Sometimes that validation is such a nice treat, right?!




and the UBER fashionable folks at Snakes Nest spent MUCH time at the table. while I was oogling their keen fashion sense, they were doing the same to my accessories! it was great and I hope to run into them several more times over next year.

aren't they cute?





Carlina always holds us down with the most heartfelt write-ups. Her post on the The Find was no different.
We'll be giving an agate ring away via Allergic to Vanilla in the near future -- I'll keep you posted via this blog!

I appreciate all of you SO much!

i hand delivered some "peaces" to our new downtown LA home, SixHundred LA.
the boutique run continues tomorrow with visits to 2 of our other local stockists, 8 Limbs and IVogue.

...and SERIOUSLY this time. No more new pieces til the Fall Collection drops. I swear.

in the groove.

...ass bustin. a lot of it.
I worked hard to make THREADshow all that it could be.
14 hours days to build up inventory,
working harder than I ever have. Ever.
It's a great feeling.



**love to Mr. DJ for taking the photos and offering so much of his precious time to make this happen.



you ever work so late into the night, you feel yourself get dizzy?
you feel confusion start to set in.
you forget things.

yea.



...it paid off.



because my table stayed busy !

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hi, made a purchase, grabbed a biz card, or flyer, offered encouraging words, reinforcement, support and love.

You never know who is standing at your table. I greet everyone with a smile to let them know how happy I am that they stopped by.

next up? THREADshow SF in the Fall.

omg.

the gold keys have made their way onto Dutch tv! Laise of Adlicious decided to rock a pair on the finale of the X Factor!! much love to Gwen over at Choco Loves for carrying my line in her boutique in Amsterdam! Check fly Laise out at the 1:50 mark in her keys!




and Kim Coles copped a purple agate ring a few months ago, and sent me a photo! She is glowing and we love this photo!

*shoutout to Felicia Leatherwood on the hairstyle



Carlina over at "Allergic..." showed us much love. Look out for more collabs between us soon :)


these sold so quickly at the show, I decided to make another pair. these will be in the boutique shortly and they are 1 of a kind.



my vision studs are available in gold now. not sure why I didn't do this sooner ...




i jazzed up these lightweight 3" brass arrows by wrapping them with wire near the head, and adding a stud to the back!

these were a THREADshow favorite, and I came home with only 1 pair left.




not much to say about this awesome brass piece.

find it in the boutique today as well!



next day off? Saturday.

"winter in America" Gil Scott Heron (we will MISS you)



we're playing with Kyanite slabs in the lab. (good for opening the third eye chakra, associated with the throat chakra, very calming and holds NO negative energy)

rimmed in 24 kt gold. i love how raw these look.
this is my pair. i might offer them to you in the next couple of weeks :)





the kid was featured on Soul Train yesterday. shoutout to my girl Ayara for this!!




here's some new goodies I made for myself, that will be listed in the boutique as soon as I can find the time to make more!

it, and the rest of my inventory, got rave reviews at UCLA.
that entire weekend was just as invigorating as it was tiring!
i made incredible connections,
and it was a welcomed change from being holed-up in the lab so many hours a day.

you start to miss the human contact.
who knew?!
working 8 hours a day for someone else, I was sick of that shit.



...and I found one of my shots floating around Tumblr this weekend...
they even added a fly effect to it.

i dig.

i think i may get some limited edition prints in the works.



PI Jewels also found a new home in one of best boutiques in LA, hands down.
I can't release the name yet... but soon :D4



Stay up!

whew!!!

i'm so sorry my blogging habits have sucked so much lately.
it's been one show after another.

i work on five orders,
then prep inventory.

work on five orders,
more inventory.

i'm challenging myself hard, and loving every minute

low end theory

Full Moon.

Keep those thoughts positive, and always be aware of the effect your actions, company and thoughts are having on your frequencies. If there is something you're doing that doesn't "feel" right, stop doing it.


the past ten days have made me realize that mr DJ and I are finally starting to get into our stride here in LA.


mr DJ in the foreground, Vandalyzm, Outasight and Cook backstage at the Roxy.


the crowd was EXTRA live .. Machine Gun Kelly's got some loyal supporters.

he played two of the most awesome venues, the Roxy and Low End Theory
and I've got 2 incredible vending events coming up this weekend, and next--
the following week at Artwalk, and the week after that.




PHEW!!

If you can't make it to any of the events, that's fine...
but you'll miss out on some goodies that will never be available online.


juicy druzy necklaces on plated chain ...perfect for Summer.


and several new feather earrings and ear cuffs that I've been working on this week in between orders!


i'm trying out some new display techniques too!
planning for live shows is MORE than a full-time job
if you're doing it right.

...and you KNOW I had to devote some time to some new items.. I can't list them all, but here are a few:




and much love to Amber over at AfroPunk for the fiece interview!!! LOVE that blog.
