Welcome to my new Etsy store! I am running it along with my bf, but I am the main one making all the items. If you're wondering about the name, that's because we also plan to sell snake babies on MorphMarket and wanted a name that also reflected that.
Ok. So this has been a while in the making and also probably a bit unexpected for anyone who's been following me. During the pandemic work-from-home craziness, I've ended up with more time to be able to experiment with new crafts and also I've been getting some new snakes. While those two things don't normally sound related, I have taken to learning how to craft the snake shed into custom one-of-kind jewelry and charms. In fact, I have a necklace I wear frequently that features the shed from Rhubard's face and is really cool.
I wanted to be able to offer that to other people, as well as have a unique item tied back to those original snakes. So I decided to make a store to feature custom items like this to anyone. Any items made from snake shed will be packaged along with the name of the snake that it came from. Also, in case anyone is worried, this does not harm the snakes at all. They shed their skin every few months as part of their natural growth cycle. If you want to learn more about the snakes they come from, be sure to follow my blog for more articles featuring my snakes. Here is a recent one about Madam Peppercake.
As I started my journey into creating jewelry out of snake shed, I also started learning about jewelry making in general. I have been constantly learning all kinds of techniques and trying to make new items, completely unrelated to the snakes. Thus were born things like the boba earrings and the snake eye necklaces. I have also dabbled into the world of resin pouring to make a variety of jewelry and other kinds of items. I currently have listed custom resin pendants, but look forward to more items soon.
My journey has only just begun with Etsy, and I have so many ideas for all kinds of things to make. In fact, I still have a lot of items made that I have yet to finish listing. So keep an eye on this store and check all the items I have to offer. Especially because a lot of them are one-offs that I may never make again. Happy shopping!
