trio of spinnerettes.

obviously, i'm now obsessed with my spinnerette line (thanks, anne-marie!  see what positive reinforcement will do to a girl?).  today i listed the trinity set - three spinnerette rings, one sterling, one 14K gold fill and one 14K rose gold fill, each with their own little spinner.  i wear mine every day now and love the feeling on them on my finger!  i wonder if anyone in the office has noticed that i am now spinning them like crazy...

want your own set?  check out the listing here!

jewelry for anxious people. (insert trademark here)

it's funny how you can connect with people over the internet - for a unabomber like me, it gets me my quotient of socialization without having to struggle with the nuances of going out.  and this example just rocks my world.  anne-marie, the fantastic bloggess making that amazing traveling red dress (check out her blog about anxiety, depression and conception here) had ordered some stacking rings from me last year and via the power of the twitter-verse, email, etsy and instagram (damn you, why is there not an instagram for BlackBerry???) we've slowly built a connection. 

i love anne-marie's blog because it is frank and honest and admittedly, she is pretty darn funny.  and now, she is the owner of one of my spinnerette rings - check out the gorgeous pictures above!  she has written the loveliest blog post connecting my ring with cognitive-behavioural techniques (CBT for short) and her own struggles to deal with panic attacks.  not only is it totally relevant, but it resonates with the art therapist/mental health worker in me.  THIS is why i make things.  THIS is why i melt metal.  take THAT, thesis advisor!!!! 

i sense an entire new line of anxious people jewelry. rings, bangles, earrings, necklaces.  because we rock like that, right, anne-marie???
