Be My Anti-Valentine
The month of February brings Valentines Day, with all its saccharine sweet candy, roses and cupids. Um, forget that! As you probably know, I have a slight obsession with hearts and make a few dark, creepy pieces of heart jewelry. Some of my fellow Etsians seized on the anti-Valentines theme, too, and they’ve created some awesome treasuries. Had to share these with you. I’ll be posting several over the next couple of days.
In the “Bitter and Twisted” Valentines treasury you will find my Bitter Pills Beads. Side effects include dizziness, euphoria, and very cool jewelry projects.

Hello… I make jewelry.
And I am a multifaceted beast! I currently sell my work under two pseudonyms. My Gearbunny line is where I express my punky, industrial, cute and morbid side. Here you’ll find polymer clay jewelry and accessories. I mainly focus on necklaces, charms, pendants, bracelets, and earrings, but I have been known to branch off into hair accessories and brooches. My inspiration comes from club and music culture and weird, quirky thoughts that pop into my head. I have been creating jewelry as Gearbunny since 2006.
My jewelry alterego is LapinJade (ooh la la, that’s jade rabbit, in French). Launched in April of 2008, it’s a newer endeavor. My LapinJade jewelry features sterling silver wire-wrapping and original silver pieces that I’ve forged myself using metalworking techniques. The versatility of silver is very inspiring. I also use various gemstones and precious materials. Overall this is a more elegant, classically beautiful line.
Gearbunny and LapinJade are both equally ME, so you’ll find updates for both on this site!
Currently I sell my work on Etsy, a fantastic virtual marketplace for all things handmade. Visit Gearbunny here, and LapinJade over here.
