Thank you so much Galene <3 It makes me so happy that you got a piece I put so much work into ^_^
Awesome! If you want any lose barnacles for tops, ect, let me know! I plan on selling them loose like that, I just haven't gotten around to making a listing. (I cold combine shipping if you want to order any in the next few days.)
Thank you! I wish! Sadly the portion of the Puget Sound I'm in doesn't have much in the way of shells. The barnacles are the only thing locally I've been able to salvage for use, and those I made a mold of (can't use real barnacles for accessories, they stink to high heaven :P). Everything else I buy from shops or order online.
Hey Iona, I saw the custom listing you made for me and I will pay for it as soon as I can. I'm working a temp job this week and just paid off the last $300 I needed for the extra fins on my Merbella tail, so I'm tapped out at the moment. But I will pay for it; promise, mer's honor Hopefully my check will be in by next week.
I want the barnacle earrings soooo much...but no international listing
I would love little mini sand dollar post earrings. Not sure if you could find a sand dollar that small to make a mold, though. One interesting thing about rigid neoprene, as opposed to resin, is that it shrinks 10% when cast. So you can start with a larger object and then make successive molds from each cure-shrunk cast until you get the size you want. It's a tedious process, though.

No worries! Your pendant hasn't arrived from overseas yet, so no rush
As it says in the listing "If you need international shipping, please contact me before purchasing." I have to go to the post office and have them give me a shipping quote for international orders so I don't over or under charge. Just PM me on Etsy with what item you wish to purchase, and your City and Country and/or postal code and country- I'll get a shipping quote then add it to the shipping options on the listing
I'm having some 1/2inch sand dollars come my way this week! If I'm successful in molding them, I should be able to make some nice little post-based earrings. Meanwhile I'm working on some double-sided dangle earrings too
Iona, I got your package
Stupid Etsy still didn't update the tracking thing though
Yay! I'm so glad it arrived okay Yes, I think that once it departed the LA facility it was handed over to international shipping companies, and they chose not to (or couldn't) update the tracking. That has made it clear that I need to update international shipping info for my listings.. was a bit unnerving for both of us I think!
Must have missed that part...whoops, sorry >_<
I would love a pair of seaweed earrings <3 since mine are crap lol How mutch would it cost shipping included?
Iona, today I offered the content of your package to my friend Claire who is a French professional mermaid in Paris and she LOVED it! She said it was perfect
It was a great birthday present. Thank you from both of us. We love what you do

I WANT those barnacle and sand dollars! I'm using my first paycheck for those! I love my dangly earrings, but they catch in my hair too much, I LOVE the idea of studs, and these are way too affordable not to get! I hope you have LOTS, I plan on buying a bunch!
Yay my head dress and earrings arrived! They look stunning xx

Been slowing down lately, and after I list some more things this weekend, I'm taking a bit of break. I'll also be taking down my sand dollars and possibly any other made-to-order products. This is becuase 1) my best friend is flying next week for 2 weeks, and since I very rarely get to see her I'll be spending all my time focusing on her. This may or may not involve some down time with crafting, so I may have some more items to list, I may not. 2) I have several projects that need more attention for a bit. I have a trade project that is overdue for finishing up for one that is very time demanding. Also a local healing fair that I'm helping organize, will be volunteering at as a fairy (need to work on that outfit as well), and also need to make items for the raffle. Lastly I need to start preparing a new tail and other details for Faerieworlds in July.
Again, only temporary, but I thought I'd give you guys a heads up!
Also I have a limited number of sand dollars available for purchase on the listing, and after they're done I may not be relisting them. I may just sell them on my accessories, or possibly throw up a grouped listing (selling in a set lot, not individually). Turns out they're WAY too much work for what I'm charging, and I found myself hating it after several orders. They just need so much detailed work, and I've cut my fingers up tons doing that. So just a heads up on that!
One more thing- I can't find the pearl strands that I've been using any longer. I got more, but they're much smaller. There's one pair of seagrass and pearl earrings left- after that those with that particular pearl strand will be done. I'll be listing the seagrass and pearl and the baby kelp and pearl made-to-order earrings again after things slow down, but they'll have the different pearl strands.
