Agnes Welcomes You...

Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.~The Duchess

Oh hey Haight...What's shakin Ashbury?

With big girl baubles come big girl craft shows.  We're going (going, back, back) to Cali (Cali, Cali)!  **Jeez, sorry, somebody shouldn't be blogging after listening to the 90's Sirius station**  

We'll be at this big bad craft smorgasbord (spelled that right the first time thankyouverymuch) come December!  Come see us pretend to be adults!


Don't forget, we're doing FREE shipping the whole month of November!

Bullet Jewelry...Be Gone...Off With You

Those of you that know me know that I am awesome. But also that I have terrible ADD, dislike most people, and have zero patience for doing something over & over again.  How to I maintain relationships, you ask?  Well...I don't really.  That's why I have a cat.  
ANYWAY...
In the crafting world, my hatred for repetition is both inspiring but also a pain in the ass.  Mostly because once something I make becomes popular and people want to buy it is exactly when I get sick of  making it.  Which is why I'll probably never be like SUPER famous.  Which is ok 'cause people freak me out.  
CASE IN POINT: BULLET JEWELRY.
I did it for a while...liked it...then lots of people liked it so I stopped making it because I am my own worst enemy.  BUT I made these instead.  Which I LURV.




These will be featured in the coming holiday season!!  Come & get em'.

Agnes @ Renegade LA!

Hey!  Looky!  Looky!  I was a big kid & went to LA to sell at the incomparable Renegade Craft Fair.  It was awesome.  In addition to feeling like a grown up I also learned some things:

1. I like driving...Alex does not
2. I do not like walking through Skid Row in ballerina flats...or at all really
3. They sell little baby turtles at convenience stores in Chinatown.

And this stuff happened too....
Not letting me drive...

Lotta Hardware, Very Little Hippo


Did this little shoot several months back. I like it. We went to the famous Hippo Hardware & of course it was awesome. There's brass & dust & lights & junk so I felt right at home.

I'm Secretly A Seamstress

Before I brag about my jewelry making skills, or my photography skills, or my model-finding skills or my blogging skills (incomparable) I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to Ikea. Ikea, you make really cool, shitty things that break a lot. The sheets I buy from you get stolen from the laundry room even though the buttons pop off & they have like an 11-thread count. However, despite your avalanche of short comings, you happen to make textiles that I inevitably end up turning into wedding gowns (see the dilapidated house photo-shoot below). This photo shoot is no different. BEHOLD, the Ikea blanket wedding dress. Which turned back into a blanket the second we took it off.

Pretty great right? I know. My genius knows no bounds. Unless you give me a story problem...then maybe notsomuch 'cause those things are super hard. Luckily none of the things I'm super awesome at have anything to do with story problems. Long story made long, here are some shots from a bridal-esque shoot I did to showcase not only some new baubles but also how hot my co-worker Mary is.
