I am so excited about ACID EARtH. I have finally started to create a cohesive body of work that I'm proud of and feel represents me. For the past couple years I have been taking steps, sometimes backwards, to making this shop a reality. I've struggled financially and moved a lot so its been difficult to even find the right environment to create. I learned so many great techniques in college but after I graduated in 2013, I lost all the tools and equipment to make what I was taught. A week after I graduated, I also lost my father. It's taken time, but I've finally found the strength and motivation to realize my true purpose.

I am a maker. It feels like I'm doing what I'm supposed to. Working with my hands helps me stay positive and focused. I take pride in my work and enjoy the different creative processes that jewelry making uses like sawing sheet metal, illustrating, etching, cutting lace and wire wrapping. The colorful crystals and stones have such a calming energy and look beautiful with brass and copper.

I love feeling like a mad scientist when I'm etching with the acid and using chemicals to patina the metal. I'm always experimenting and challenging myself with new techniques because it's what makes me happy. I'm determined to make high quality, one-of-a kind jewelry and look forward to making you something special ♡

If you have any questions, I'd love to talk. Don't forget that you can customize almost all my work. I can switch stones, ear wires, and cut just about any shape out of brass and copper, so you're only limited by your imagination ☆
