Made at My Bench,
a Few at a Time.
Bracelets, necklaces, small pieces and décor that exist a few times or once. New, made by me, made in small numbers.
Half of this shop is things I made. I work at a bench in the house, in the light from one window, and most of what comes off it exists a handful of times — sometimes once, because the stone or the strand I built it around was the only one I had.
What I work in, how long a piece takes, and what made-to-order really means here are mine to tell you, and I’d rather tell you plainly than have it written for me. [[CONFIRM: materials, techniques, turnaround]]
Every handmade listing says what it is made of, how big it is, and how to look after it. If it is made to order, it says how long — in weeks, the honest number, not the hopeful one.
What comes with a handmade piece
The same four things, on every listing, so you never have to ask.
Materials
What it is actually made of. Named, not implied.
Dimensions
Length, drop, width — in inches, with a hand or a coin for scale in the photos.
Care
How to keep it looking the way it did in the box.
How many exist
One, a few, or made to order — and if made to order, how many weeks.
Where it gets made
A bead board, a lot of small drawers, and one afternoon per piece.
