Baby doll cries for the death of winter

Thank you Melody, for the lovely portrait of the crying Baby doll that watched over the specimen jewelry this Sunday. She had the best seat in the house. Oooh! Look at those pretty earrings!

Reminder: May 4th is the next time specimen will make an appearance at the Flea with loads of new trinkets and treasures for the people.

The NY Times just published a 2 page article profiling the Flea. Read it here.

Flea opening

The first Flea was a success despite the frigid temperatures and blustery winds. The people were excited to be out in the community post-winter, mingling and mixing amongst their neighbors. The specimen & Melody's addiction booth was filled with old friends and new acquaintances.

More things for this Sunday: Lots new of feather earrings mixed with chains and bones- Come check it out! Photos of the new goods are pictured in the "collection" slideshow.

This will be the last Sunday specimen will be at the Flea this month, and will not be making another appearance until Sunday, April 4th.

BFF Sunday

Brooklyn Flea is starting tomorrow and this is how I feel about it;

But actually, I'm not dead, there is no surf, and i'm really just making earrings today in my apartment.

Philly bones

Last weekend I ended up at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology while on a day trip to Philly. They have an impressive variety of native artifacts from burial trinkets to mummies to an actual sphinx. I got some great inspiration from the American Southwest, Mayan, and Inuit weapons and jewelry. The Inuit fishing hooks were my favorite.
