Community: Young America Creative
Young America Creative (YAC) has been on my radar for a while — I set up beside them at many of the west coast shows I’ve participated in, and friends have had their seasonal prints hanging on their walls for years. YAC is Brian Friel and Meghan Dorria, both formally trained...
Forma, Spring 2016
For Spring 2016 I focused on simple geometry and the interplay of shape, proportion, and negative space. Forma is the result of a conversation between these ideas. Our classic hammered texture adds interest and dimension, allowing these pieces to shine in their simplicity. True to our core, each piece remains extremely lightweight, encouraging...
EPICfail – It’s oh so good!
That’s right, my new collection in 14k gold and diamonds is almost here, and its EPICfail! It is the grander & bling-ier older sister of the fail jewelry you know and love, so it seemed only fitting to name it EPIC! The collection will launch on a brand new failjewelry.com...

So, it’s been a while since my last post! I have been doing a lot of organizing here at the studio, prepping for holiday, and took a few scouting trips to Dallas and New York. I went to NYC as a participant in the Martha Stewart American Made Workshop Series...

fail – Behind the Scenes
As some of you may know, my journey over the past 3 years has been pretty amazing, crazy, and not at all expected! When I was laid off, 3 1/2 years ago, it wasn’t necessarily a surprise, but getting a “pink slip” isn’t easy, no matter how prepared you are. ...
Renegade Craft Fair – San Francisco

Danielle Wright {Designer}
I was gooing over MissMoss today and pinning like crazy, when I became intrigued by the jewelry of designer Danielle Wright. With a little more investigation I realized that Danielle is also one half of another designer favorite, Falconwright. I found Flaconwright’s clutches a while back and fell in love...
Handmade Roundup {Renegade Craft Fair Austin }
At this years Renegade Craft Fair in Austin I had a little help from Katie and Maggie, which allowed me to finally take time to check out the show, meet new makers, and grow budding friendships. I found so many great new artists and I wanted to share my favorites...

Renegade Handmade Roundup
I stopped by the Renegade Handmade Holiday Market here in Austin a little over a week ago. For the first time, I wasnt there selling with fail and I was super excited to walk around, chat with friends and colleagues, do a little holiday shopping, and deliver coffee to some...
Wiksten s/s12
I was perusing Miss Moss today when I found a preview of the new Wiksten s/s12 collection and wanted to share. Wiksten is a small quantity line, with designer Jenny Gordy designing and making each garment by hand in her Iowa City studio. Jenny’s aesthetic is simple, utilitarian, and definitely...
We are making jewelry now…
Natalie forwarded me this sketch last night and I just had to share! I recently started watching Portlandia on watch instantly and of course, I love it! Honestly, the show could be called Austinia {yeah, it doesnt work as well} and it would be just as appropriate! Even though someone...
