For the mismatched and summer lovers, I will have tiny starfish and seashell earrings available during the End of Summer Collection! These are teenie tiny and made with a ton of different colors to look iridescent. The starfish have tiny genuine Swarovski crystals in the center and hand painted gold details. I’ll have about 20 pairs available and once they are gone that will be it until possibly next summer! More details and previews for the upcoming collection will be on the way during the week. 🐚🪸
Here’s a little preview of things coming up next! I am actually pretty close to being finished with a good amount of the next collection, which is great because fall is coming and I need to get moving on that soon. 😂 I did not end up going with this exact version of the ice cream cone earrings I’m making for the End of Summer Collection, but I made two different versions and both are pretty exciting! The rest of the End of Summer Collection will be some other things I had hoped to get in this summer but never got the time to do it. I’ll have more to show once I get time to take some photos! 🌈🍦
One of my favorite collections ever, this is an old pic from last year! I actually do still have some drumstick cones still available on my website, and kept a pair myself. They are a little hint of some things in the End of Summer Collection, which will be coming soon! 🍦
A lot has happened since my last post, which was for my Birdie collection. We lost our 17 year old kitty, Jan, somewhat suddenly. Although we had many years with her it still never feels like enough. (Side note - I appreciate all of the kind messages I’ve received over the last week 🩷) Since then, I’ve been getting back into making more and I have a new collection started. It will consist of some things I’ve been trying to make for awhile, and things that were big hits last year, all random but somewhat in the summer/spring theme. 🐚🌸🍓
I also still have lots of birds remaining up for grabs! I will likely try to keep the best sellers in stock somewhat regularly, but I have yet to see which those will be! Everything sold pretty evenly and I have a link to them in stories, if you haven’t gotten your pair yet! 🦩
The NEW Bird Collection is FINALLY HERE! Get them on tinygalaxies.com 👉🏻 Shop 👉🏻 NEW Bird Collection! Did you get what you wanted and what birds do you want next time?!
Last up for this weeks NEW Bird Collection, and possibly my favorite, and also took me the longest to get how I wanted them, swans! I really wanted them to be super dainty, simple, but magical at the same time. It took me a bit more tries than usual, so it’s taken awhile but they are finally just what I wanted them to be! (I posted an additional pic that better illustrates their tiny size in my stories also!)
The official day for the release is this coming Thursday at 7:30PM EST. As usual, keep an eye on stories in the rare case something were to change. I will post reminders there as well! Which birdies are you hoping to snag? I will have roughly 20 pairs of each to ship, give or take a few. 🦢🦩
Perhaps my favorite of the new bird collection designs, the new chickadees are so cute 🥹. Swipe for scale! I’ll have these available along with the bluebirds and cardinals I showed in the last post sometime next week! Date and time are still TBD, so keep an eye on my future posts and stories! I will post the date a few days ahead of time.
As I work on stocking watermelons, rocket pops, and finishing up the new bird collection, I’m thinking of some things I may whip up somewhat quickly (as in, I don’t have to make new molds entirely from scratch as I’ve been mostly doing lately). I am planning another collection already, but may randomly sprinkle in some more summery things like these ice cream cone earrings that I made a few of last year. 🌈🍦
Thank you all so much for such a great release last week! I have been busy making preorders and also celebrating my kiddos 6th birthday (yesterday!) all week! I have rocket pops all out the door and off of preorder, so they are stocked and ready to ship! Watermelons have all shipped and I have a few in stock ready to ship now as well. 🍉
Rocket pops, watermelon slices, and stars are now available on tinygalaxies 👉🏻 shop 👉🏻 July 4th mini collection 🍉🇺🇸🌟🤩
Tomorrow! Rocket pops, watermelons, and stars will be available at 8PM est. Keep an eye on stories to make sure nothing changes in the meantime. There is a countdown you can also set as a reminder in my stories if you tend to forget things like I do. 😂😁
Here’s a sneak peek of the third earring option I’ll have available on Thursday night! I plan to have a mini release on Thursday evening somewhere around 8-9pm est. I will post the definite time sometime tomorrow in stories! In this mini release for July 4th, rocket pops, watermelon slices, and stars in red, white, and blue options will be available! 🇺🇸🌟🍉
I know I said birds were coming next, but I honestly don’t want to rush them and I had a sudden urge to make some summer themed earrings in time for the Fourth of July. I’ve been wanting to bring watermelons back for so long! These are a little different than my last version and actually a tiny bit bigger than most of the earrings I’ve been making lately. I have been into the mismatched look when it’s easily doable, technically speaking, so I loved making each one a little different! They will be available sometime this week along with rocket pops and one more pair of earrings that will fit the Fourth of July theme. Keep your eye on stories and posts if you’re interested in getting these. I do not have a date and time picked for the release yet as these pieces are still in progress! 🍉🌟
The CUTEST little rainbow earrings will be available this Tuesday evening at 7:30pm EST! I have twelve pairs ready to roll, and will be adding some presale listings after. These were a real process to make but they were need up turning out so darn cute I am definitely making myself a pair as well! I was really hoping to get a new design made in time for pride month, and also because who doesn’t love a rainbow? These were a real pain in the you know what to make but at least the end result is worth it. As always they are on sterling silver studs and arrive in a little box ready for gifting! 😵💫🌈
I finally can start showing some of the new birdie earrings that are coming in the next collection! I redid the birds to be a little more dainty, and hopefully also a little easier to recreate. They are very similar to the original pair, just made a little differently. The bluebird earrings have been one of my best sellers and I hope these will be too! I should have them available in about two weeks! 🐦
This is a photo from last year, but it seems like an appropriate day to ask if I should make them again this year with it being Memorial Day today! I was planning on making these tiny rocket pop earrings again this year sometime this summer, would anyone be interested?
PS birds coming soon as well. I’m close to being able to show some here once I get a batch finished up and ready to photograph!
I made soo many ice cream cones last summer, and though I probably won’t have time to again this summer, I do have a couple of pairs remaining of these two styles! I ended up making a few batches of these and they were both really popular last year, and I love both of them still! Are you more team drumstick or team soft serve? I like both but I’m a little partial towards the drumsticks. That said I kept a pair of each for myself last year which is something I honestly don’t do often - and soft serve were one of my best sellers last summer! I have two pairs of soft serve and a handful of drumsticks left! 🍦🤎
Yes I’m still alive 😂 I’ve been making FU earrings for what seems like years now and I have already sent out a good amount of preorders, and will continue to send them out within the next few days. Once I’m done with the preorders I’m going to work on some new things. If you purchased something in my last release, thank you so much! 🫶🏻 I still have some drink earrings left and I’m going to link them in my stories! 🍸
Martinis, FU earring, and tiny coffees are all available now on tinygalaxies.com! (Link now in bio)
Did you get what you were hoping for? Thank you in advance to anyone placing a order, I appreciate you!! 🍸🫶🏻🤍
This color is my personal favorite and one I’ll most likely be keeping for myself 😂. I will likely have my next release this coming Wednesday or Thursday evening, so keep an eye on my posts and stories within the next few days for the exact date and time! It will include FU earrings in a variety of colors, martinis, and two other drinks I’ll be posting tomorrow, as well as any coffee drinks I can complete by then! I am cutting things extremely close with this one but it should be worth it. 🖤💚🤍
I’m almost out of these Swarovski bunnies, which were definitely my best selling item this year for Easter! Once they are gone, I doubt I’ll get back to making them until next year. They will be back for sure, but if you wanted a pair before then, there are only a handful remaining! 🐇🤍
COMING SOON! Sometime before Mother’s Day, I’ll have a small Drinks Collection coming! The first piece I finished are these tiny martinis! The tiny olives are just too much for me honestly. 😂 I will have one other alcoholic beverage and two coffee varieties this time! If they sell well, I’ll likely do another batch of more fun drinks. I hope you like them! 🍸
There is only one pair of tiny cupcakes available and that makes me so sad because this was one of my recent favorites! I even kept a pair for myself. I do not know when I’ll get back to making them, usually things take awhile once they sell out. I am working on a ton behind the scenes as well and I’ll show you soon. 🧁🍸☕️🧋
Guess what?! 😂 Last week I posted a question asking you what you’d like me to make for Mother’s Day (even if you’re not a mother at all, I’m trying to make some cute studs that many people would like!). I had a ton of great feedback (thank you!!) and by far the most overwhelming request was more FUs. So for that reason I’m prioritizing a collection of FUs in several colors! I made an entirely new mold for this, and they are a little bit daintier than the originals, but I think just as good if not better (and they are a little easier for me to reproduce, too, which is key).
I will definitely have the classic black and gold pairs as well as several others, including this color suggested by my FU earring ambassador 🤣 which coincidentally I also envisioned when I asked her to suggest a color for me!
Go to my stories to give me feedback on more colors! I already have a whole batch of another secret awesome color I will show soon. Oh - and these should all be available in about two weeks. I’ll post the exact date and time a few days ahead of it. 💚
A few years ago, I made hand painted studs - the first three pairs I made were rainbows, pansies, and watermelons. They were a pretty big hit and lead me to where I am today, with a focus on tiny detailed studs of all themes and genres. One of the next things I did was make hand painted bird studs, which took things to a whole new level! These bluebirds and cardinals have been my best sellers aside from FU earrings and seasonal earrings for a few years now!
I’ve managed to keep them successfully stocked for over two years now up until very recently. I am focused on making new things every month now which is so time consuming I no longer have the time I used to to keep things stocked!
My new focus this year is to remake some of these favorites, but in a way where I am able to reproduce them a little more quickly and easily without upping the price. The style of my work will always remain tiny, dainty, with touches of sparkle - which has always been true to who I am and what I make naturally. I am also going to try to keep things more doable for myself as my health has been suffering trying to keep up with my business. I think some small adjustments like this will help me out significantly while still remaining focused on building my tiny business and making pretty little things!
That all being said, most of my hand painted studs will not be remade the same way they are now. They will all be available on my site until they sell out, and I’m going to remake all of the best selling items in a way that works better for me to KEEP making some of them and keeping customer favorites like these stocked as often as I can. I intend to make them better than ever as well (and I will keep them similar - just better and easier to make)! I will have new versions of both cardinals and blue birds in an update this spring along with many other birdie varieties. The previous versions will always be available as well until they sell out. Some of these pieces are already in progress and I hope to show you them very soon! ❤️
Not every part of my process is pretty, in fact most of it looks like this until the very end stages! When I finish a collection, I am always thinking about the next one. When I get to it, there’s usually a span of time where I have nothing new to share, because I’m working on a lot of the process that’s not cute or pretty and there’s nothing great to take photos of for social media during that time. (Side note, I do have a TON of stuff always available on my website, aside from collections)
But I thought maybe this part of the process is something I should share too. I’m working on two collections now, but I won’t have anything ‘pretty’ to show for at least another week. One of my next collections will be BIRDS and I’m feeling pretty inspired by it right now so that’s where I’m spending my time while the inspiration lasts. I do have some more things coming out either around the same time or before (I haven’t gotten far enough on any of that yet to show you). Here’s a peek of what I’m working on now! It used to take me a few hours max to carve out new shapes, but now l’m trying to make them both more detailed and as well as making one for each ear so they are facing the same direction when you put them on. This is resulting in a much more time consuming process (usually a whole work day) initially for earrings that require two carvings, but I think it’s worth it!
And yes, these will be flamingos! 🦩 One of the most challenging part of making these earrings for me is the part that comes next, which is deciding exactly what color goes where and what details to add.
So far I have three birdie sets carved out, any guesses on what the other two are? I still haven’t figured out how many l’m making or the exact list yet, so feel free to also leave suggestions in the comments! 🐦👇🏻
Orange and purple tulips are now available! The pink pair in my last release sold super quickly so I decided to make some more in other colors! They are now on ✨tinygalaxies.com 👉🏻 Easter Shop✨! I don’t plan on making these again until next year once they sell. 🙏🏻🧡🌷
After a few days, I’ve come up with tulip colors for the next tulip mini update! I’m going to have some orange available (these have a hint of hot pink), and lavender, as well as a few one offs! I honestly don’t know which color I like more or should make more of, so let me know which one you’d want to buy in the comments!
I will be announcing a time and date in stories sometime later this week for when I’ll be posting them on my website! 🌷
There’s still a little bit of time left to order some peeps or other Easter earrings! I have lots ready to go asap! 🐰
Thank you all for your great feedback in my stories over the last day as well. It gave me some things I know I’ll definitely be focusing on for the rest of the year now that most major holidays are over for a bit!. 🩷
