fashion giant




this week it's just rachelle and i. mike's been a busy bee at work and lora had a show and needs a day off.


this challenge was fashion giant. on pr, they had to deisgn for menswear for tiki barber. we decided to make jewelry for men. after years of making work pretty much exclusively for women, this was not so easy to wrap my mind around.


i still think mine's too dainty. i think i need thicker metal and a wider band. but overall i really like it.






rachelle used this opportunity to push herself some cufflinks she had in her head. i love them! and that's kind of why we wanted to do these challenges. to get out of our normal routine and make something we might not have without the challenges. and from doing shows, i often get asked for cufflinks, so i think these are perfect!

Love that brass tubing you've used in the past two challenges. So cool. And I think it looks very manly. ;-)
