A Large Order of My Handmade Leather Jewelry Off to Beirut!

I've been so busy with wholesale and am so proud of this order.  I got it done in record time, 4 days! It's off to my stockist The Oddfish in Beirut. It was a really tight deadline but I worked really hard on it and am ready to start another wholesale order to Germany.

I love wholesale orders and now they make up more than half of my yearly revenue.  It is such an exciting thought that these stockist believe in your product so much that they place such large orders to sell in their shops.  It's like they really believe in you and your product and that feeling is amazing!

New Fiber Art Fringe Leather Necklaces in the Shop!

I've been experimenting with making more three dimensional handmade necklaces and created this series of furry shag fringe leather necklaces! I love how the texture and color really pops.  They have an organic form, almost like coral wreaths or sea anemones.

Here's a few I've made.  I'll be making many more!

You can find them here.

Boo and Boo Factory Handmade Jewelry: A Look into my Studio and a Little About Me and My Process

I wanted to share some photos I took for Etsy's merchandising team.  They show a little glimpse of my world, my workspace, packaging, materials and behind the scenes look at me making leather necklaces and leather pouches.  I am so honored to be included in the Etsy Blog for their Instagram series #adayinthelife series.  For a whole day I took over their Instagram feed and met a lot of amazing crafters, artist and handmade enthusiast.  This spring is starting off with a bang for my shop and I'm so thankful!

I've been getting ready for the summer season creating bold neon leather statement necklaces in a variety of different colors.  The necklaces feature different materials such as goose feathers, Italian leather hides, wood beads and even my new holographic leather.  It may seem that this Chicago winter may never end.  However, inside my studio is filled with bright blinding color to get me through.
