Featured Designer: Birdie Num Num

I was wandering around on Etsy today and came across the work of Tati, a desiner based out of Valparaíso, Chile.  Her shop birdie num num is quite the catch.  I love how she works with the jersey fabric and twists it beautifully together to make awesome necklaces and headbands.  I mean seriously, who knew jersey fabric could look so stylish?!  I am currently drooling over the nautical knot necklace.  It would be just perfect paired with a bright colored dress or a tank top and jeans.  I'm also loving the cute ways you can wear the longer necklaces pictured above and the simple touches of color to brighten up any ensemble.

Head on over to Tati's Etsy Shop to view more of her creations. 

Discovered on Etsy: Handpainted Jewelry

As of late, I've been really thinking that I need to dust off my jewelry making supplies and make some new jewelry; mainly for myself and some to possibly sell (I've also been thinking about getting my etsy shop up and running again, but that's a whole other story).  In the hustle and bustle of moving, I still have yet to locate most of my necklaces and earrings that I used to wear and I've been longing for some new statement pieces to add to my collection.  So, in the interest of my bank account (and my marriage, lol), I think it's about time to bust out the beads, chains, and other jewelry supplies sometime in the near future.   

As I was clicking through Etsy today I stumbled upon a few inspiring shops with handmade and hand painted jewelry.  It's crazy how the thought of painting a simple silver/gold pendant never even crossed my mind!  What a great way to take something so plain and simple and transform it into a unique statement piece!

Some pieces I love.
