This jewelry set is designed to be convertible and versatile. The necklace can be worn several different ways — either with both strands together or by wearing one necklace on its own for a simpler look. The necklace can be worn with or without the leopard skin jasper pendant giving it versatility and a unique look. The bracelet adds grounding earthy detail, while the earrings bring balance and movement to the set.

When I opened the Serengeti Safari box, I was instantly inspired by the beauty and spirit of the Serengeti. I wanted this jewelry set to reflect the rich earth tones, natural textures, and wildlife-inspired patterns that make Tanzania’s landscape so unforgettable.

Using warm copper tones, weathered textures, and touches of blue-green accents, I created a collection inspired by the colors of the land, sky, and water. The design also draws inspiration from traditional natural materials such as wood, clay, bone, copper, and brass.

This collection is my personal artistic interpretation of the Serengeti’s beauty, wildlife, and natural energy.

Current situation:
Trying to bead something delicate, precise, and intricate…

Meanwhile…
A 60 lb emotional support wrecking ball has decided my lap, my arms, and my entire personal space are now under her management.

Every time I pick up my needle:
👀 “You’re really doing this instead of petting me?”

Every time I try to focus:
💥 face. in. my. workspace.

I’m over here counting seed beads…
She’s over here counting how many seconds I’ve ignored her (the answer is unacceptable).

At this point, this bracelet is about:
40% Czech beads
60% chaos
100% supervised

⸻

Send help. Or treats.
Actually… send treats. She’s clearly in charge here.

Every good book holds a moment you don’t want to lose.
A line you reread.
A page you pause on because life interrupted—but you’ll come back.

These bookmarks were made for those moments.
Hand-assembled, bead by bead, finished with small charms that feel like quiet reminders—stars, wings, little symbols that live between the pages until you’re ready to return.

Because some stories don’t end when you close the book 📖✨

Hey y’all! I want to ask a big favor.

I’ve officially started a YouTube channel for my creative work. Right now there are only a few videos up, and they may not be everyone’s style — totally fair — but it would mean a lot if you could subscribe to help me start building an audience. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for the support. I’m not sure exactly where this will go yet, but I’m giving it a shot and planning to have fun with it along the way.

Here’s the link if you’re willing to help out:
