Most of our FaeryWear is made of the finest silks and silk velvets and has been washed and distressed to perfect softness before being sent out into the world. That means most of it is easy to care for and can be safely washed by hand or gently by machine. The chiffons can hang to dry and they dry very quickly! The velvets can be dried by machine with a fabric softener sheet and you will love how they feel! Please be aware that any tattered edges and other signs of being worn while sleeping under brambles are intentional because...have you ever seen a faery with a hem?

A cold join, metal, found object ring made in Susan Lenart Kazmir's class. I used many jewelry skills, lots of new ones, to construct this ring. I started with only a sheet of copper, iron wire, sterling wire, and four found metal objects (the metal for the band, the loop, the hand, and the bottom coin.) I had to anneal, cut, saw, patina, punch, rivet, and wire the rest. The metal loop just under the top lintel piece is loose and will spin all the way around the ring, under the lintel. It looked somewhat like a fertilizer spreader to me -- hence the name "Spreading Joy." The word "joy" is punched into the metal loop and the words "joy" and "gentleness" are punched into the metal just below the loop.

halter dress handmade by Sarah Johnson. this was made for sunshiny days and looks great with flat sandals. suede ties at the neck and back. the designer calls this a one size fits all, but I'd say it fits a very curvy small or medium to large best. the sizing is flexible due to the elastic back and ties at the neck and back.

These wooden chandelier earrings are a little more on the funky and ethnic side. The cylindrical bead in the center is a combination of black horn (on either end) and palmwood (in the center). Small round rosewood beads cascade down a gold filled chain to meet a Black Tourmaline stone (which sparkles like black diamonds) which is handcrafted into a custom hoop. Exquisite details make these earrings a definite standout. These earrings will fall 2" in length. All metals used are 14 karat gold filled metal.
