We are prepped and ready for the Poulsbo Art Festival this year. Stop by and see our inventory, say hello, and maybe try on our newset Hauberk!

We had a great time in Kingston this past weekend – your next chance to see all of our products is coming up August 17, 18, and 19 at the Poulsbo Art Show.

We’re gearing up for the Kingston Art Show!

It’s bracelet season!

These little guys are the result of experimenting with Aspect Ratio, which is what determines which rings you can use for certain patterns.  Some sizes and thickness are completely unsuitable for some patterns, but we still like to play.  One day we were trying to make a Helm flower using completely incompatible rings just to see what would happen.  The result was a bowed cone instead of a flat flower, and as we studied this bowed cone we couldn’t help but imagine it as a Jellyfish.  So we whipped up some European 4-in-1 in an increasing pattern around a center ring, draped it over the bowed cone, and a Jellyfish was born!  All it needed were Jelly-tendrils and a little chain in the center for hanging.  This school happens to adorn a little cubby decorated with some Kraken run, seashells, a pirate treasure chest and some gold coins, but they are equally adorable swimming from the rear view mirror of a car, over your desk or dresser, or just about anywhere they can chill and hang around.

Just like people, earrings come in all different shapes and sizes.  We’ll let these pictures speak for themselves!

 

Now through February 14th, enjoy Free Shipping, anywhere in the US from our store:   The Velvet Zebra. Who doesn’t deserve some color in the midst of this Winter’s doldrums?

 

Why wait for someone else to do it – tell yourself how special you are with a new pair of Valentines earrings, or maybe our brand new Blackheart Valentine necklace. Now featured in our online store www.Squareup.com/store/the-velvet-zebra and soon to be available to purchase directly from our Facebook store (once they get that figured out!).

Made with Frost Anodized Aluminum and Colors that remind us of Holly Berries, Evergreen Trees and long, dark winter nights, these necklaces and earrings are the perfect accessory to that Winter Holiday outfit.

 

Our love of the Japanese style knows no bounds, and once you master the general idea, it’s impossible not to want to play with it.   First up we used copper 3/16″ rings and connected them with 1/8″ Anodized Aluminum, then used the little rings to make swoops connecting each triangle. Then we decided to go purple with an all-Aluminum version. And following that up is a Fall combo in Brown and Green. These designs are now available in the shop: https://squareup.com/store/the-velvet-zebra
