Owner and Artist, Kristine Cherry, has been creating jewelry and wearable art for as long as she can remember. In 1993, she designed bejeweled ear cuffs to sell at the 51st WorldCon in San Francisco, CA. The response was huge; she sold out her entire stock of specialty ear cuffs inspired by the Bajoran ear cuffs worn on the popular Star Trek t.v. show, “Star Trek: Deep Space 9”. Luckily, she had brought all her jewelry making supplies and spent the entire 5-day convention hard at work making custom, on-the-spot ear cuffs for anyone and everyone who stopped by to watch her work.
Realizing there was a large audience for such cosplay (“costume play”) accessories, she sold her designs in dealer’s rooms at conventions from San Francisco to San Diego. Then she went on to submit her designs, now expanded to accessories (jewelry boxes, hair picks, fans & cosplay masks) in art shows. In 1996 she won “First Place 3D” at the Gallifrey 7 convention in Van Nuys, CA, for her “Snowflake Obsidian” necklace.
An ever-restless, creative spirit always has her working on new & unique side projects in various art and crafts. In the past they have included parasols, trinket boxes, cosplay masks, handmade Book of Shadows binders and peyote stitch necklace bottles.
