here are some new beaded earrings that i’ve made this week.
the colors remind me of fruit loops.
I saw this idea on cicada studio’s blog and thought I’d try it.
Here is a pic of my top 5 tools of the trade.
clockwise from top right:
1. sanding stick
2. rawhide mallot
3. steel block
4. nylon jaw pliers

marbles into pendants

right now i’m working on a design for these vintage marbles. they are going to be sterling silver wire wrapped pendants. i’m thinking of a really long tear drop shape on a super long chain. something sienna miller might wear if she wore colors. look out for those in the next couple of weeks. for now, the shop is pretty well stocked, close to spilling over into a second page, which is my next goal.
check it out here.

worked on a cuff today using this vintage ribbon.
it’s going to have turquoise thai silk lining and felt ball buttons.
here is a pic of my workspace. it’s a corner at the end of a hallway
near a freight elevator. blue tape on the floor marks my invisible walls,
just like Less Nessman on WKRP in cincinnati.
Star Baby

“There’s only one star in a Helen Larsen production, that’s Helen Larsen,
and that’s me, baby.” Does anyone recognize this quote? It was in 2 movies.
This necklace that I made recently reminded me of it.
With old-school attitude and glamour on my mind, I was also inspired to dig up this telegram. It was sent to Coe Glade, who was an opera singer in Chicago in the 1940’s. I scored it while working in a vintage store there.
