😥 May 21st Cancellation - Celestial Closet at R

😥 May 21st Cancellation - Celestial Closet at Rose Street 😭

Unfortunately, I’ve had to cancel my stall at Rose Street on Democracy Sausage Day 🌭 (May 21st). I voted last week, anticipating that I would be at the market on Election Day.

My next market date is June 18th, but before this date, I’m hoping to finally do an online shop update. Thank you SO much to everyone who has signed up for the waiting list restock notifications on my website for your patience 🥰 this time around I am making the stock before I list it online, so I can work at a pace that I’m comfortable with, and not injure my hands and arms for the tenth time following a release 🙌

In the background, I have been working through probably the largest restock I’ve ever done for my online shop, including a new batch of @metamorphia.recycled pieces made from my offcuts and scrap material. I’ve probably shared less on socials than I have previously - but I’m enjoying the space and freedom to experiment, create and unplug, without needing to post about every single thing I do online. At night I’ve been reading some new books before bed instead of doomscrolling, and I feel much more at ease 📚 🔌

In the last month, I’ve had a few medical procedures and been at the doctors/specialists office almost every week. Currently taking seven different medications, and am likely going to the hospital again in the next few weeks for a surgery I was not expecting to have to have for the third time. 🏥👩🏻‍⚕️💊

My guilty Netflix pleasure is binge watching a (rather trashy) social experiment show called “The Circle”. It’s a bunch of eclectic folks who go into separate apartments and network with other contestants using written-only chats using “The Circle” network in order to try and gain popularity and not be voted out. The catch is, that some of the contestants are not who they say they are! In the current season, there is a 30 year old guy catfishing as his 62-year-old mum 👵🏼 and JP is a buff firefighter dude who all the ladies are fawning over 🙄 it’s light hearted and doesn’t require too much brain power to watch! 🤣

Market day @therosestmarket today! 🌞✨another

Market day @therosestmarket today! 🌞✨another sunny one, I’ve been really lucky so far this year with market weather!

First outing for the new table and displays! Everything is solid as and nice and polished (and no longer scrap wood with hooks) and I’m not worried about wind at all for the first time! Big thank you to @c.w_joinery for making the stepped riser stands 🥰

I also have a new extra tall camping directors chair that is the envy of many of the other stallholders today - far more comfortable than a hard folding chair (I’m unable to stand all day), and tall enough for me to be seen above the centre display. It also has two drink holders 😜🥤🧋

The tall side arch pegboards weren’t quite 100% ready to come to market, and I didn’t want to stress out over bringing them today. It’s definitely a process!

Last night, I 3D printed some pegboard hooks for the centre pegboard and plan to design and print some pegboard-compatible earring hangers so I can display more earrings without cards, and hold the carded and packed stock behind the table. I’m still relatively new to 3D modelling, but good at spatial thinking so I’ll see what I can learn over the long weekend!

P.S. The sign says “Magical Wearables and Otherworldly Curiosities” because by the end of 2022 I’m hoping to launch some bigger laser cut products that are not wearables 🏺🔮

🍄 Which mushroom world is your favourite? 🍄

🍄 Which mushroom world is your favourite? 🍄

💐 The Rosy Rambles 🌷
A dreamy meadow of pink and burgundy roses where these rosy toned mushrooms pop up below. Warning: these rambles might be a little thorny 🌹

🧜🏻 The Whimsical Waters 🌊
Underwater mushrooms grow in clusters amongst the colourful corals 🪸 the blue, purple and white spotted mushrooms are reminiscent of bubbles and the fish love to nibble at them 🫧

🐌 The Moody Marsh 🦆
This marsh looks gloomy and muddy to most, but it is home to a little ecosystem of birds and small land animals. These purple and brown moody mushrooms are of the poisonous kind ☠️ but are safe once they are out of the ground and hanging from your earlobes.

🐞The Crimson Fields🌹
Vast green hills are home to large oak trees, hundreds of years old. At the foot of the trees in slight shade, the red-capped spotted mushrooms are growing. If you stay for a while, you might encounter some woodland friends 🌳🐿

These will be available online in my shop in around a week’s time - there are a few pairs already at @incube8r and @theoldauctionhouse and these are also coming to @therosestmarket this Saturday 23rd ✨✨

The delightful Mengting (@miss.broochie) is wearing the Plum Blossom Tree Brooch and the coordinating Plum Blossom Stud Earrings 🌸🌸

Plum blossoms, not to be confused with their close botanical relatives, the cherry blossom, bloom in the cold of winter, a symbol of perseverance, resilience and hope as the seasons move into Spring.

Selected pieces originally from my January 2022 Lunar Harvest collection will be re-released in mid-2022.

🌸 it’s blossoming season 🌸

According to forecasts online, it’s just about time for cherry blossom/sakura blooming season in Japan! (In Australia, it will be around September)

The flowers usually only bloom once per year, while usually shown in illustrations as pink, they can also come in white and red.

I was so happy when I found this lovely pink glimmery material - it cuts very nicely with no burnt marks on the edges.

Thinking of adding a bib necklace similar to the earring design the next time these are released. It’s been a while since I’ve designed a large statement necklace! 🌸

🧗‍♀️Dealing with overwhelm and growing pa

🧗‍♀️Dealing with overwhelm and growing pains as a creative💥

I’ve been asked more and more in the direct messages recently about when I’m restocking my shop.

The truth is: right now, I can’t confidently set a date. I’m just so overwhelmed. And I know from messages and restock request emails that there’s now quite a lot of folks patiently waiting for pieces that are out of stock in the online shop. Thank you again for being so patient 💚

In 2020, when I pivoted my business to laser cut jewellery, I could have confidently set a restock date. Even one year ago, I could confidently set a date knowing I only had a small amount of items that I needed to produce and so I’d cut a certain amount plus a few extras.

Then I started working on more intricate designs. That’s the direction I wanted to go following my rebrand. With more detail, and multiple materials in designs, comes longer assembly times and often multiple stage assemblies. Even these gradient earrings, while they look simple, are quietly complex. They require careful peeling and sealing as well as forward planning of the location of the cuts on the sheet.

In late 2021/early 2022, things went boom in a good way - more orders, a new stockist, lots of new customers and folks coming along to follow my laser cutting adventures. I left my full time day job to only work 4 days per week.

Funnily enough, I feel busier now, than when I was working full time. My body has still not adjusted to being back in the office, and it’s taking a lot more energy to do daily life things like cleaning, cooking and laundry.

Also waiting patiently for my new, bigger laser cutter (the @flux_inc #fluxhexa) which should be arriving at the end of April. The quantities of pieces I am currently making to ensure I have enough stock for my stockists, markets and my online customers are extremely time-consuming to process on my current laser cutter, which I probably outgrew sometime last year.

Think of it like trying to make a coffee - you’re trying to make an espresso but you’ve got a tiny little low powered machine that takes a while to come up to pressure and make a coffee - that’s how I feel using my current laser cutter ☕️

It’s very sunny at @therosestmarket today! 🌞🌞🌞

Lots of magical mushrooms 🍄 and moths 🦋at my stall today ✨I have a small range of the rainbow gradient Liquid State earrings as well 🌈

There is not a cloud in sight (except for my swirly cloud studs!) ⛅️

I’ve been off the feed for a while due to dealing with multiple injuries - so taking it easy, sitting and doing a spot of making today. Then dinner in Fitzroy with some friends 🥰

For the last three months, I have been barely able to keep up with ensuring my stockists have stock, let alone my own online store because my pieces keep selling out - a good problem to have!

But slowly, slowly I’m building up stock for my online shop again including some new rainbow and weather themed designs. Feeling more settled in my new day job now (it is intensely busy!) but I can’t wait to share my (now belated) birthday release soon 🎂🎉

🧝‍♀️ Greetings lovely folks! It’s time

🧝‍♀️ Greetings lovely folks! It’s time for a story about my magical maker journey 🪄

✨ I’m going to try to take part in #marchmeetthemaker 2022 with as many prompts as I’m able to respond to with my current level of time and energy 😌 so here’s day 1: you and your work!

⚡️What do I do in a nutshell? I send magical shapes via the interwebs to my laser cutter Zaphod Beamobox, and ask him to help me zap magical shiny and shimmery materials so I can create my otherworldly acrylic jewellery 💫

🦋I also squish bits and pieces of my scrap material into abstract colourful irregular acrylic pancakes, and create one-of-a-kind recycled acrylic jewellery - mmmmmm, pancakes! 🥞

🦚 My designs are far from ordinary, but they’re also not loud with colours or large amounts of glitter, because that’s not a reflection of who I am and it’s not my voice. My jewellery captures people’s attention when people look closer and see the details! 🔍

✂️🪡👑 I have a background in theatrical costume, cosplay and millinery (which was where Celestial Closet started in 2017). I’ve created a lot of fantasy worlds for myself in the past, through the process of getting into costume and escaping real life for a day! 🎵

🌌 Since moving to my current medium of laser cutting (and getting older!), I’ve refined this process into creating little magical worlds that can be worn by others as a form of self-expression, in everyday life. My millinery work from 3-4 years ago was definitely more dramatic, but elements of that have carried over into my jewellery - I love metallic, pearlescent and iridescent finishes 🪲💫

🍄 Whether you want to imagine you are walking through the lush forest, travelling through cosmic dream portals or taking a trip to another world - I love to create magical wearable adventures that you can take with you. 🏞

🌿 I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this little bit of insight into my work!

💫 The magic of plastic recycling 🪐

Here is a small selection of my @metamorphia.recycled wearables including some more recent necklace additions (that haven’t made it to the website yet) and the newest recycled sheet I’ve pressed - a dreamy galaxy mix! ✨

These pieces are created from my acrylic scraps and offcuts and some bits and pieces sent to me by other makers! Today I took some nicer group shots of these pieces as I’m submitting a few applications for larger markets, which I’m hoping to take part in later in 2022 🤞🏻

I’m getting ready behind the scenes to reopen my online shop (hopefully next week). Yesterday was the first day that I didn’t immediately feel pain in my wrists - need to take good care of my own tools! 💪🏻

I also have been away from socials for a bit - I do have a backlog of message requests, but I will reply to these when I’m ready. My shop is still closed, and will be closed until I’m confident I can physically and mentally cope with the workload.

There’s a lot going on in my world (with my new job) and a lot of hurt happening in the world, so I’m being mindful of how much time I’m spending reading the news and consuming media online.

Tonight I’ll be watching Eurovision: Australia Decides, and I am absolutely rooting for the Western Australia based progressive metal band @voyagerau, because they are so different to the same-samey boring pop singers that we see every year 🤟🏻 my favourite entry so far from Australia to date has been Kate Miller-Heidke.

🍄 New style! Amanita Mushroom Hoops in Crimson

🍄 New style! Amanita Mushroom Hoops in Crimson Field (Red) 🍄

My take on the popular Fly Agaric mushroom. This ink blot acrylic lends itself perfectly to mushroom tops! Like nature, every pair will be unique! ✨

Also available on stud hoops, or stainless steel hooks.

I’ll have a few pairs available tonight at the @madfashionshowcase 🍄🍄 they will eventually be listed on the online store, when my arms and wrists heal up enough for me to do a bigger restock of my shop 💪🏻

🌄 End of an Era 🎆 tomorrow (Saturday, 19th F

🌄 End of an Era 🎆 tomorrow (Saturday, 19th February) is the final @madfashionshowcase annual alternative fashion and artisan market event.

It’s on from 6pm until 11pm at the Meat Market in North Melbourne and will feature 10 of Melbourne’s best alternative fashion designers and labels as well as the artisan market (I’m only doing the market this time around).

Originally the brainchild of @lyrisdesign and @clockworkbutterflyfashion, the event has been a space for all us designers whose work was perhaps a little too left of centre for the mainstream fashion world. I’ve made so many long term friendships through this event, both with other vendors and customers, and I hope to keep them up 🌻

🖤 The Melbourne Alternative Designers community has been a pretty huge part of my life the last six years.

🌹 I first attended the second showcase in 2016 at the St. Kilda Town Hall and purchased a handmade gothic antler headdress made by @theobtainery (formerly Asylum Dollz).

🌲 I wasn’t able to attend in 2017 due to a clash with another event, but in 2018, I took part in the market at the new venue - The Arts Centre Melbourne. This showcase was particularly significant as it was a) the first time that I sold laser cut jewellery at a market event and b) was a key talking point on my first date with Hunter about two months later, it turns out he had attended the event and had probably walked past my market table! 😅

👑 In 2019, I put on a runway event at that year’s MAD, the first one at the Meat Market. It was a huge amount of work coordinating nine models, making all the headwear and running around like a headless chicken backstage 😅

🦋 Due to the pandemic, there was no event in 2020 or 2021 - I’ve missed this community so much. So even though I might not have as much stock as I would have liked, I’ll be bringing what I can tomorrow night and will enjoy some time with my beautiful magical, weird and wonderful fashionable friends.

🌙 Celestial Closet is closed until late Februar

🌙 Celestial Closet is closed until late February (so I can rest!) 🛏

🤭 Oooooops, I did it again. I didn’t properly pace myself in my making and working, and overworked myself producing the Lunar Harvest release. My forearms and wrists are very strained from the intricate hand positions required to finish and assemble my designs to get all the tiny pieces painted and glued in place.

🧑🏻‍⚕️ At present, I’m not as severely injured as I was in 2020 (when I needed scans, months of physical therapy, and an arm cast) but I can tell that I’m exhausted and I need to put down the tools for a few weeks. I have exercises from my physio, but only time and rest will ease up the pain.

👐 Without my hands and wrists functioning fully, I can’t design my jewellery. I can’t operate the laser cutter or prepare materials. Painting and inking details is extremely painful and my hands will shake when I try to assemble components.

🦾 I bought some adjustable arm braces from the pharmacy (one for each arm) to put on my arms as a visual and physical reminder to stop making and look after myself. They are moderately supportive with a removable metal splint, and prevent unnecessary movement.

🖐I’m a creativist at heart - I just have an innate need to be hands on with stuff. Since my injury two years ago (caused by my jewellery making) I’ve really had to consider how I spend my time working so I’m not doing the same tasks repeatedly.

💎 Last year, I tried to get stock assembled ahead of time, and I want to move to an in-stock only store model going forward - my only problem is that I don’t have much stock on hand (a good problem to have). I’ve constantly been chasing my tail to keep up with items selling out, particularly with my stockists.

👩🏻‍🎨 While I now have a little more time for Celestial Closet because my new job is only 4 days per week - it’s going to take at least 6-8 weeks to fully settle in,

🪄 I can’t magically produce masses of pieces to restock in a short amount of time - especially when my body is saying no to more stress. So I ask kindly for your patience, I’m a one lady operation, with one pair of hands 🙌 thank you! 🥰

🏞 Following My Passions 🌌 😁 It’s hard

🏞 Following My Passions 🌌

😁 It’s hard to hide when you’re happy inside…but that’s what I’ve spent the last two weeks doing! 🤭

🏙 Yesterday (Friday) was my final day at my full-time corporate position in the data privacy software industry. My team was really lovely, but after six months, I knew it was not the right fit for me.

🌅 In the days just before my Lunar Harvest collection release, I was offered a new job that’s an absolute dream - working as the Marketing and Website Coordinator for a local company selling laser cutting machines!

⚡️It will be a position where I can really use my geekiness in the areas of web design, eCommerce, and online store tech support - AND I’ll get to write about and talk about laser cutting most days - I’m so excited! I start in the new role on Monday 7th February 😍

🗓 I requested for the work hours to be 4 days per week instead of full time/5 days per week, and the company accommodated my request ☺️ I will be in the office from Monday to Thursday, and Fridays will be free for me to define my schedule, and have time to practice health and wellness.

🔥 For the last 4 years, I have operated Celestial Closet, in parallel with working full time. Late in 2021 I got to the point where constantly working 9-5 during the day and then 7-11 at night was burning my candle far too much at both ends🕯and so I set out to make the move to part time hours in early 2022.

💯 Why not go 100% into Celestial Closet? Well, we’re still living in uncertain times, and I would like the financial stability to be able to support paying my rent each month, and put some in savings, and have enough to cover life’s emergencies.

📦 Due to my new work schedule, and the position being 100% in the office until I get settled in - this will have a minor impact on my order shipping timeframes and parcel collections. I am exploring possible options here, and will update my store policies this weekend.

🧘🏻‍♀️I need the space in the next few weeks to establish a new working routine - so I may take longer to read messages and reply. Please send an email if your message relates to an online order! 💚

Today it’s the start of the Lunar New Year! 🎇

Today it’s the start of the Lunar New Year! 🎇🐅🧨🎊

⛩ Here’s the full Lunar Harvest collection, which I released on January 21st and which has now mostly sold out (restock of selected items late Feb).

Still working my way through processing all of the orders (there were a LOT!). The festival goes for a fortnight - some people take a whole two weeks off work! I’m still at work today though 😅

🌊🐯 2022 is the year of the Water Tiger. There are five elements and twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac - my year, 1991 was the Metal Sheep 🎸🐏

🍜🍲🥢 On Sunday evening, I had an early reunion dinner with my partner and my family.

🥟🥮 I went to our local Asian grocery yesterday, and picked up some noodles, frozen dumplings and char siu bao (bbq pork buns) to have at home…a big part of this celebration is food. I’m craving yum cha from just writing this post!

🧧❤️ My Dad sent us a virtual red packet (hongbao) this year (via bank transfer, because cashless is safer during these pandemic times.

🎇 Didn’t see or hear any fireworks in our suburb, but I’ve seen some pictures and videos of celebrations from others!

👩🏻‍🎨 behind the scenes at Celestial Closet ✨

🪄 welcome to my revamped home studio where all of the magic making happens!

🔨I am currently working through around 50 orders, most from the Lunar Harvest release. There’s a lot of tiny pieces to cut, paint and glue, and doing them in larger batches is different to making a single sample piece!

💎There are several pieces which are now showing as sold out from the initial allocation of items that I was comfortable producing in the processing time of 7-10 days I had set, but a waitlist is available.

🐅 Tiger pieces will not be restocked in their current colourway as the acrylic used to make the main body of the tiger was a one-off in my stash. If I find another suitable acrylic, I’ll bring them back in the future, but I like to keep my limited edition items truly limited edition in fairness to the folks who purchased in the initial release.

🎁 I’m on track to ship most current open orders from release day, by the end of this week. They will be shipped in batches, according to the order which they were placed. Keep an eye out for your order tracking email!

👩🏻‍💻 Except for weekends, I can only pack orders and work on Celestial Closet in the evenings as I work full time during the day (currently 5 days per week), and I also only have one pair of hands and one body which I need to look after, because my health often takes unexpected nosedives.

💁🏻‍♀️ I know I keep emphasising that I need rest and that I work on my jewellery with limited hours - this year I’m being a lot firmer with my boundaries because it’s healthier for me to practice them. Knowing when to stop and rest has been something I’m getting better at to protect my health and energy.

🙅🏻‍♀️ With an influx of new customers and followers recently, I’m going to say again that I don’t take customisation requests to existing styles (aside from changing earring findings where it is practical to the style and possible without compromising the design), and I cannot put extra pieces aside for somebody, when pieces are sold out. Such requests really disrupt my workflow, they add additional stress for me that I don’t need, and are simply not fair to others.

🌅 d r e a m s c a p e s 🌌 returning mid-late

🌅 d r e a m s c a p e s 🌌 returning mid-late February!

The Dreamscapes collection has a current estimated restock date of mid to late February 2022 ☀️🌙 the last of the pieces in this collection that I made up last year sold out in early January. My stockist @theoldauctionhouse may have a few pairs of the Dream Doors remaining 🏠

If you would like to be notified via email when sold out pieces are back in stock, you can visit the Celestial Closet website and add your email to the waitlist for the style that you would like to be notified about ✨

Due to the level of detail in these designs, it is not simple to make these designs up to order, which is why I try to make small to medium batches up at a time. I’m a one lady operation, and Celestial Closet is a part time job for me 🪄

Creating content such as social media posts, reels and video is also time that takes away from me directly working on my art 😰 so, it’s why I show up more often in Instagram Stories with short little snapshots of life in the studio and glimpses into the design, preparation and assembly of my wearables ⭐️

I don’t like wasting materials or having excess stock left over that won’t move for months, so the way I’m trying to operate going forward is by doing monthly restocks of selected sold out items/collections. Recycled wearable pieces from my @metamorphia.recycled range made from my offcuts will be restocked in larger batches every 2-3 months 💫

I had tried to pre-cut and assemble a number of Lunar Harvest components prior to the release date, but the current heatwave here in Melbourne is really limiting the hours in the day where I can run the laser cutter safely without it overheating and damaging the laser tube. It also makes it uncomfortable to work in my studio in the heat. 🥵

If you’ve read this far, thank you for listening and reading - there is a rough design sketch for a third Dream Door design (Dusk Rainbow) at the end of this carousel, that I did over the weekend! It will be a limited edition design as part of Celestial Closet’s 5th birthday collection (late February release) using a wonderful pastel sky acrylic I recently purchased from overseas 🌈☁️

😳 *peeks head out from underneath yesterday’s avalanche of orders, comments and follows* 🙇🏻‍♀️

🙋🏻‍♀️ hello, I’m Christine, the owner, designer and magic maker behind Celestial Closet! If you’re new here - welcome to my world of magical wearable adventures!

👩🏻 I’m 30 years old, and have lived my entire life in Melbourne. My jewellery designs are inspired mainly by nature, magic and fantasy, with a dash of geekery, and most recently, my Chinese heritage.

🧝‍♀️ Through most of my late teens/early twenties, I attended several comic and anime conventions per year (in costume) and always loved the Artist Alley. My first event tabling as an artist was in 2017.

👸🏻Celestial Closet started as a business specialising in dramatic and fantasy headwear. I sold my very first laser cut earring designs in mid 2018 (I’ve gone WAY back in my photo library to find some of my oldest designs to put in this post).

⚡️At the end of 2019, I purchased a desktop laser cutter, the Flux Beamo, from Kickstarter, and then pivoted my business 100% towards laser cut wearable designs in early 2020. When the pandemic started, I also had to change my focus to selling online. I’ve worked full time in IT and eCommerce for the last 7 years 👩🏻‍💻

🖌I studied digital media and graphic design at university, and had prior knowledge of computer aided design software (Adobe Illustrator). I taught myself how to set up laser cutting files. While my first designs started out as really simple shapes, I made it my goal to teach myself to create layered earring and brooch designs with lots of details. Having my own laser cutter has helped so much, and I keep learning every time I do a new design or experiment more with the laser cutting process!

✨Here’s some fun facts about me not related to Celestial Closet!

🎲 I enjoy tabletop and video gaming, and once baked a playable and edible cookie edition of The Settlers of Catan 🍪

🎵 I was trained in classical voice at high school, but LOVE musical theatre, and have performed on stage in a few amateur productions in Melbourne including Wicked and The Phantom of The Opera, as well as doing costume and backstage work.

🌸☁️ Can’t do a major collection release without some matching stud earrings! 😍

There are two styles - Plum Blossom Studs 🌸 and Cloud Studs ☁️ to pair with the Plum Blossom Tree Brooch and the Lunar Tiger Brooch, or to just wear for a little sprinkling of everyday magic ✨

I haven’t made stud earrings for a very long time - I’m more of a dangle wearer myself and it’s probably the style I’m more known for because of my love of all things dramatic.

However, in these current mask-donning times, a smaller stud earring can be a very small way to say “I still am wearing fun earrings today” without the worry of getting those pesky ear elastics caught on your majestic dangle earrings 😎

Do you like a dainty and neat stud earring or are you jingling all the way with dangly earring things? Or do you like a length somewhere in between?

Available 8pm AEDT, Friday 21st January 🥰 on both the main website and Etsy 💚

Slide 1: a photo on a black and white stone background with blue cloud stud earrings, a tiger brooch, a plum blossom tree brooch with pale pink flowers and pale pink blossom stud earrings

Slide 2: a close up of the blue cloud stud earrings and the pink plum blossom stud earrings

Slide 3: a fair toned hand, palm side up, holding a tiger brooch with a black circular moon background

Slide 4: a photo of Christine, wearing a khaki dress and the lunar tiger brooch

🐅 Lunar Tiger Necklace 🐅

The necklace and brooch of the Lunar Tiger design will be available under the same listing in tonight’s release.

I’ve only got enough of the golden tiger material to make between 12-15 of this design (either necklace or brooch), as I’ve allocated the other half of the material sheet to earrings. So for this particular coloured tiger, it’s a limited run.

I will be making this piece to order, as the necklace requires a different backing piece to the brooch. Necklace is stainless steel, approx 45cm with a 5cm extension chain.

The processing time may be up to 10 business days for this item, as I’m a one-lady operation! Delivery by Lunar New Year on February 1st is not guaranteed, but Year of the Tiger goes for all of 2022 🐅

The brooch, which I’ll put in its own post this afternoon, has two brooch backs, as it’s a fairly large piece. Love a good double brooch back to make sure your tiger doesn’t run away! 🐅

Happy shopping - please be nice to each other tonight! There’s been lots of lovely feedback leading up to this collection release and it may be my first release night where items sell out on the day.

I try not to do limited editions too often because I don’t like missing out either - so hopefully I’m able to find a similar material in the future, or the tigers may reappear in a different colourway at some point.

All other items in the collection, aside from the Lunar Tiger earrings and Lunar Tiger Necklace or Brooch will be restocked mid to late February, if they sell out tonight. Please don’t panic (and find a towel if you’re Arthur Dent) 🛸😅
