Just dropped a new bunch of winter themed earrings! ❄️ I'm sure #queenelsa would love some of these.

Either I'm doing an amazing job at social media promoting my pieces...

Or #Etsy is doing me *little favour* right now.

Could it be a matter of #SEO -perhaps I'm outdated in that? 🤔

Don't know, it's always been the other way around!

Revisiting some #ballettiara designs to update my Etsy shop 👑 Refreshing designs allows me to refine them, and also allows you to know more about them ❤️

The face of someone who's filling up takedown forms for intellectual property infringement instead of creating beautiful wearable art pieces 🫠

Drafting my new #Patreon feels like prepping to apply for a whole new job. A completely alien self-employment job.
All I wonder is if I should be trying to build my following up more on SM & YT before launching, or if it's fine to work on both things at once...

"Fallen Aurelia" has four styles of earrings -I've got my personal fave already 🍂🍁

I'm so happy I decided to include them, I never thought I'd sell a single pair. And here we are, one of each already gone!

There's no better feeling than having tools that make your work easier ✨ I use #GIMP to edit my pics: it's similar to #PhotoShop -but it's open!
& it's fine for what I need to edit (mostly colour and brightness, the eventual skin textures... Letting the displayed piece speak for itself).

Fallen Aurelia is officially almost one week old!🍁

Pre-sale is now active & I truly was not expecting to receive a #pre-order of *two pairs* of earrings in the first half hour after publishing 😱😱

Now it's your time to pick your fave among the 4 new designs -or wait until official launch on Thu 30th to see what else is coming ❤️

I hear you!
I know my most popular #crowns & #tiaras are costly for many.
So despite the jewelry market oversaturation, I'm now trying to find a middle ground -offering little pieces with my signature style. Budget-friendly treats with a bit of my soul ✨

In a world craving for more #handmade, the stories behind items and how they're crafted, I'm wondering if I should widen up my range of creation to formats that don't actually sell a piece, and allow you to experience it regardless...
Thinking YouTube and Patreon 🧐

USA Customers!! 🇺🇲✨

Shipping to the US is back! Every parcel will be shipped to the States via DHL with DDP as a standard for the time being -to ensure top quality customer experience and grant a smooth customs clearance in these uncertain times.

🔸It's overwhelming, you're not overreacting. It will be ok
🔸Sales & SM don't reflect your worth. Your work is beautiful, you haven't found your tribe just yet
🔸Your unique artistic vision matters, it enriches the world

You got this!

The Dreide headpiece is back!!✨

Many who've been following my work for a while remember this design from the Dracula's Brides collection.
I've got a very limited stock of crystals for each colourway. First come, first serve!

New customs tariffs to the USA are a nightmare for all small biz's exporting there 🤦🏻‍♀️

How am I dealing with this new level of uncertainty?...

💅🏻 I'm making myself a costume!

No plan of action. Scraps only.

Shall you join me on this adventure?

⚠️Shipping to the USA is temporarily suspended.

European post companies have all suspended their service to figure out how to proceed when the new US importation tariffs are implemented on Aug29th.

This is going to hurt all small biz's, not just mine. Let's hope it's all solved soon 🫂

... It happened! ⚜️ My customers do have a specific #medievalcore taste 😎
I hope I did my research well enough to accurately name this type of Ottoman inspired headdress.

If you know more about Ottoman hotoz headdresses -or Ottoman headwear & costumes in general- I'd love to know!!

And just like that she's gone! This limited edition cute wreath will be unavailable from now on.
Now I wonder if I should be making more pretty little crowns like this! 🌱✨

I just reached 12k on Instagram -never in my life did I think I could reach so many people with my passion! ❤️✨

The constant push&pull between filming/photographing stuff for social media so you can keep having a job and actually working on the pieces you make as a job.

Scripting a reel to explain the differences between 'custom' and 'bespoke'. While some people use them interchangeably, the differences are huge!

Illustrating 'custom': comparing the custom version of this ballet headpiece in silver/white Vs the original in gold/indigo.
