This was a fun custom color combination for an Etsy client last month - Neon uv pink pvc with silver pvc accents and pink tassels! ๐Ÿ’– Everything is awful and it feels wrong to post. Which is part of why I haven't been. But I'm still here, still making things with my hands. I guess I should share them while I still can.

LAST CHANCE // I'm retiring a few styles. Some because I think they've run their course, others because I've reworked the design to improve it and will be introducing the new version in 2026. This weekend will be the last chance to order them in their current form. Link in bio to view all the "last chance" styles.

Sometimes you just need a leash. An iridescent one. With a Nice. Thick. Strong. Chain. For no reason at all, of course ๐Ÿ’–

I'll post about my sale this year, because I always do a sale. But I'm also going to have a few things that are "last chance". Every time I design something I make it and photograph it and put it on the site and its been very hard to let go, but for my own sanity I need to streamline things. This crystal drip choker is here to stay though! Thank you thank you thank you โค๏ธ

Itโ€™s been a while, instagram. I just havenโ€™t been able to post anything since my momma unexpectedly passed away back in April. Dealing with her estate, and traveling to help my sister care for my 95 year old grandmother a few hours away (caregivers are amazing - if you have one in your life, send them ALL the support and love!), plus every new horror in the world to process. Any time I thought about posting or sharing, it seemed impossible, and I just started to cry.ย  Working on orders has been one of the few grounding things in a sea of uncertainty and sadness, and Iโ€™m extremely grateful for each and every one.ย  Itโ€™s been a struggle to create new things, but I do believe they make their way out of my brain and into the world exactly when theyโ€™re supposed to. Here is a sneak peak of my new armor-inspired pvc on the brilliantly talented Stephanie of @silversarkofficial - in a time when we need to be strong more than ever.ย  On the days when it all seems too much, and maybe I want to give up and close up shop, your support means more than you know, and Iโ€™m so grateful!

A rare personal post. The past few weeks have been full of absolutely devastating losses for my family. My uncle suffered a bilateral stroke after open heart surgery and will likely never be the same. The following week, my momma was diagnosed with 4 types of aggressive cancer and the world took her from us less than a week later. My mom is my best friend, and words cannot describe the pain from this loss. My mom and sister lived in a tiny town on the the Olympic Peninsula of Washington called Sequim, about 2.5 hours away from me in Seattle. Mom was the full-time caregiver for my grandparents and my sister moved in with her to help about 4 years ago. Grandpa passed away December 2023. Now we have to make hard choices about the care of my grandmother and her future with my sister. It is very likely I will be splitting my time, at least in the recent future, between Seattle and Sequim, to help with my family. I anticipate this will not impact my work too much other than I have to be much more selective with rush requests and studio visits will only be available for part of the week. I haven't even begun to approach the impacts these bs tariffs will have on my prices. I keep a large stock of supplies on hand, so at least for now, my prices will remain the same. I'm going to trim unnecessary costs as much as possible before raising prices (such as eliminating some of my more frivolous packaging). I may be discontinue some styles and eliminate some product offerings. I'll make sure to share any updates as they come. Thanks for reading โค๏ธ

Sometimes it takes me years to get an idea out of my brain and into the world. This is a sneak peak of the final version of my face harness. It has one millions buckles/points of adjustment for a really custom fit, and once all the buckles are set exactly how you like them,pops on and off with a single snap. Cat ears optional ๐Ÿ˜˜ Paired with the Jett Harness Bra ๐Ÿฆ‡ #blackpvc #catears #harmanphoenix200 #filmphotography ##gothgoth #darkfashion
