New Asymmetric Hair Sticks

Our latest additions to our Etsy and Dawanda shops are asymmetric hair sticks, like this pair of Green Jasper Asymmetric Hair Sticks.


I started by making the cascade stick with fancy jasper chips, but thought that a pair of them would be a little much. So, instead of a matching pair, I made a more simple, dangle-less stick to accompany it. I love this combination, as the sticks can be worn together, or else individually for great versatility. Of course, if you would like a pair of the cascaded sticks, we'd be happy to make them for you! Fancy Jasper is believed to have meta-physical properties, encouraging mental clarity and relieving worry and depression.


I also made a version using the semi-precious stone Tiger Eye:


These hair sticks are available at Etsy and Dawanda shops so far, we're working on a major website overhaul and will have a variety of asymmetric hairsticks on our website when the new version is up.

Beaded Spiral Hair Fork Now on Etsy!


We're continuing to develop our line of hair forks, and love this beaded spiral fork we just listed on Etsy. It's hand-carved from red oak, which is a beautiful light red wood, but we wanted to add something. The spiral of dark green beads is a striking contrast to the red wood, and the edges of the beads have a blue flash which catches the light. The red oak is polished to supersmoothness with tung oil. We currently have poplar and red oak forks on Etsy, but are excited about working with exotic woods soon. We aim to offer a selection of woods to suit all hair colors. We'll then be adding forks to our website, as well as Etsy.
