Jewelry, primarily earrings, using various materials, including copper and sterling silver wire, semi-precious stones, glass, polymer clay, and shrinkable plastic.

Flowered and horned headbands/crowns. Each headband is hand wrapped with ribbon, then decorated with flowers and hand sculpted polymer clay horns (or left plain, in some cases).

still not a photographer; also, it's really hard to take a picture of something on your arm. I mean, I would've gotten a picture of both of them, but...not enough arms. Anyway, these are some arm warmers for tiro, because they're always cold! I lost the tag for the yarn, but it's wool, and a hand dyed single ply sport weight in a colorway called Earl Grey (which is why I decided to use it for tiro ^_^). Gonna make more of these, now that I've figured out the pattern. Also going to try making lacier ones in cotton, for spring, and for sale.

Current Caramel Collections

Right now hand made caramel sales are CLOSED! To order, send an email to solaciola at gmail dot com. The following flavors are available: Sea Salt The sweetness of the caramel is tempered by a fine dusting of sea salt. Coffee The equivalent of at least two cups of espresso in every batch! If you like your coffee super strong, you can request extra strength coffee caramel and I'll up the espresso flavor for you. :) Honey Chai A delicate honey caramel flavored with black tea and spices. Apple Cider First the sweet caramel hits your palate, followed by a nice, juicy flavor of apples and spices. Tea with Honey The subtle taste of Earl Grey enhances this honey caramel. (If you have another tea preference, just ask! Our tea cupboard is overflowing.) Gingerbread Made with molasses and spices, like a gingersnap in caramel form. Mexican Chocolate Dark chocolate with a lingering spicy kick. I'm also currently experimenting with a butter rum flavor, and various other chocolate caramels, but until I perfect them, they're not up for sale. Each flavor is $5 per quarter pound, plus shipping; orders of more than a quarter pound per flavor get discounts! It's $9 for a half pound, $12.50 for 3/4, and $16 for a full pound of one flavor. I ship by parcel post for up to half a pound, and then US priority mail for anything over that.
