Suckers Treasury
nosperpectua has scoured Etsy’s depths for the best suckers to add to her latest treasury. Nope, not the sucker born every minute. This time we’re talking tentacles, cephalopods, nautilus, octopus – the suckers of the sea. She was gracious enough to include my Royal Blue Neon Nautilus Earrings (see top right) in her collection.

Nautilus Treasury Featuring Gearbunny Earrings
I made these earrings from blue vintage fan-shaped acrylic charms, matching glass cathedral beads, and silver components. Now, you might be a bit surprised to see a Gearbunny item that’s not polymer clay. Although I have a soft spot for clay I always keep my eyes open for other inspiring materials. When I spotted those vintage fan beads at a Chelsea flea market, I couldn’t resist and knew they’d make a kick-ass pair of earrings. The pair I created in hot pink already sold out! These are one-of-a-kind so grab them before they disappear into the deep.

Hello… I make jewelry.
And I am a multifaceted beast! I currently sell my work under two pseudonyms. My Gearbunny line is where I express my punky, industrial, cute and morbid side. Here you’ll find polymer clay jewelry and accessories. I mainly focus on necklaces, charms, pendants, bracelets, and earrings, but I have been known to branch off into hair accessories and brooches. My inspiration comes from club and music culture and weird, quirky thoughts that pop into my head. I have been creating jewelry as Gearbunny since 2006.
My jewelry alterego is LapinJade (ooh la la, that’s jade rabbit, in French). Launched in April of 2008, it’s a newer endeavor. My LapinJade jewelry features sterling silver wire-wrapping and original silver pieces that I’ve forged myself using metalworking techniques. The versatility of silver is very inspiring. I also use various gemstones and precious materials. Overall this is a more elegant, classically beautiful line.
Gearbunny and LapinJade are both equally ME, so you’ll find updates for both on this site!
Currently I sell my work on Etsy, a fantastic virtual marketplace for all things handmade. Visit Gearbunny here, and LapinJade over here.
