Parallel Jewelry

Hi friends! I am very very excited to share the news that I have been offered a 3 month retail storefront popup in Belltown, hosted by the Seattle Restored program!

Opening in late October and running through the end of January, you can come shop for Parallel Jewelry and handmade clothing at 2004 1st Ave at Virginia St. in downtown Seattle.

I will also be teaching sewing lessons and hosting fun events for the Belltown artwalk on second Fridays.

I’ll be a busy bee for the next few weeks, collecting shop fixtures and supplies, working on setup, and making naturally dyed clothing and jewelry for the retail floor but I’ll try to post progress updates as I go.

If you love buildout projects, have a truck and want to help me pick up furniture, or feel inspired to contribute to setup in some other way, please reach out!

I’m set up in beautiful Issaquah this weekend for Salmon Days! I’m in a different spot this year than usual so I’ve added a treasure map with my booth location.💎✨ Come find me on Rainier Blvd S and shop gems and handmade clothing.

No the rocks are not for sale! They are just for vibes.

It’s nice to be at Boise Art in the Park again! I’m back this year with handmade jewelry and my new project, naturally dyed clothing. I’m in a different spot than last year, come find me in space 98 near the Nut Hut, just follow the delicious cinnamon smells. I’ve seen so many new and returning customers already. We’re open until 8pm tonight and again for day 3 tomorrow, 10am-5pm.

I’m at Fremont Sunday Market today until 4pm today!

Here’s some more natural dye experiments from my studio. This color palette is so photogenic with the natural landscape here in Western Washington.

I was at a little overlook park at sunset taking this and a school teacher stopped to ask me what I was up to. And I said, I’m happy you asked! I could talk about natural dyes all day. I’ve always been fascinated by plants, their beautiful shapes and colors and scents. This feels like an exciting new way to work with them.

Here are some new things I’ve been working on with plant based dyes.

The long skirt is one of my own designs, I have graded it in a size range of XS-4XL It’s high waisted with a wide waistband, and it looks great on everybody. Carefully hand sewn and dyed by me in my little Seattle sewing studio. 95% cotton with 5% spandex.

I purchased the 100% cotton hats and socks as white and I am dyeing them as an experiment to offer some smaller, lower priced plant-dyed items.

Shown here are indigo and myrobalan. There are so many more plant based dyes I want to try so stay tuned for more colors!

Here’s a sneak peek at my restock on hammered and gemstone pieces for the art market at .of.art this weekend! Sterling silver, gold-filled, and oxidized sterling with amethyst, kyanite, moss agate, jasper, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and unakite.

See you there!

I’ve brought some lovely ocean colors to the Alki Art Fair today!

I have a full size set of naturally dyed tank tops in XS - 4XL, dyed with plants indigo and weld. I love the variety of color I got! Each one is a different watery shade of turquoise.

The gold-filled earrings are wire wrapped and hammered with natural gemstones, green jasper and amber.

Come find my booth by the water and help me look for mermaids. I’ll be here all weekend!
