😳 *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

🐅 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) 🛸😅

🦜 A bird in your hand is great, but a pair of birds is even better 🦚🦚

In the game of mahjong, 14 tiles are required to win the round - usually four sets of three, and one matching pair. Often towards the end of the game, you’re looking for one particular tile to complete the pair.

I’ve dealt this pair of majestic peacock earrings here (based on a vintage bakelite 1 Bamboo mahjong tile) so you don’t have to go searching! ☺️

The groups of three can be either three of the same tile (called a ‘Pung’) or a sequence of three sequential numbers - eg. 1,2,3 (called a ‘Chow’). If you’re super lucky, you might be able to make a set of four of a kind (a ‘Kong’) instead of a set of three.

There are 3 suits in a mahjong tile set:
🎋 bamboo/sticks
🟢 dots/circles
🔢 characters (usually represented by the Chinese numerals 1-9)
…and then there are Honour tiles including Winds (based on the four compass directions) and Dragons (red, green and white).

Mahjong is a fun game that is going to take me far too long to explain in just a few short paragraphs so I’ll stick to talking about my jewellery for now.

The earrings are the same size as the brooch/necklace and I’ve made them super lightweight by using a thin white plastic for the backing.

Each earring takes 7 minutes to engrave to capture all of the fine lines in the design, and has been carefully inked with acrylic paint markers. Scroll through to see the inking process through to peeling the masking!

Videos show Christine’s hands colouring in the design on the earrings with green, blue and red paint markers, then polishing with a blue cloth and peeling off white masking tape.
