The Honey Opal

A HUGE thank you 💗

I’m completely blown away and genuinely grateful for those who made this little shop update so successful!

I hope you know I will never stop being amazed by the support I receive from you!! Thank you for all the likes, comments, shares, messages and orders that came my way the past few weeks.

I know this can sound cheesy but I truly poured so much of my heart into these pieces and for them to have been so well received is a dream come true 🥹

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUU!!!

I’ll just be over here packing up your orders. I can’t wait for you to receive them!

Some pairs really do hit differently 😭

This design came to me once we settled on our 4th babies name (due May 17th)

I’m so excited to include something so personal into this collection! Motherhood is truly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I wouldn’t be creating this passionately without the love and inspiration my children give me everyday ♥️

This will be a OOAK pair. It will also be somewhat customizable. You’ll have the option of making them into studs or dangles and your choice of gold or silver hardware.

Drop is tomorrow Friday, April 17th. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Blue tulips are extremely rare in nature. They are usually dyed or only exist in near-blue hybrids which give them the symbolism associated with uniqueness, individuality, and the pursuit of the unattainable.

My goal wasn’t necessarily realism but more of a whimsical, almost porcelain look. My inspiration was heavily influenced from Delft and Chinoiserie pottery 💙🩵🤍

These little studs will be available Friday, April 17th alongside the Monet and Van Gogh collection.

Thanks for all the support already. My heart is so full!

🩵🥀✨

Here’s the first sculpted design for the upcoming drop.

I’ve really been into blues lately. Recently it’s been such a calming and tranquil color for me.. or maybe it’s subconscious since I’m only 5 weeks away from meeting my baby boy 🥹 either way, I thought I’d translate that into some florals!

I showed you a little sneak peek of some tulips coming Friday as well! I’ll be sharing more on those in the next day or two.

Hope this week treats you well 🫶🏻

Last, but certainly not least…

Cliff Walk, 1882

There are several Monet paintings I wish I could just step inside of and this one is probably in my top 5. I admire his ability to have painted a scenery so calming yet possess so much movement throughout 🩵

It’s truly been an honor recreating some of my favorite paintings from my favorite artists. Every time I do pieces inspired by Monet and Van Gogh I get to study, appreciate and fall in love with with their work all over again 🥹

Thank you all your kind words on these impressionist and post impressionist inspired pieces. It fills my heart knowing you’re enjoying them as much as I am.

Which design from this series is your favorite?

I had a fellow maker and friend comment on the Monet inspired earrings. What she said I might not ever forget…

“Monet would be proud”

Whether that would be true or not, the fact that someone would believe he would is a huge compliment in itself 😭

I’ll be honest, it’s somewhat nerve wracking to create pieces inspired by such talented artists. I never want to feel like I’m doing them any injustices. So having your support truly means more than you know.

Over 80% of you voted for a matching necklace! Thank you for helping with this decision. If this doesn’t find a new home I might have to keep this one for myself 🥹

Hope this week is treating you well!

Roses, 1889 🥀

The Van Gogh and Monet series continues…

This pair was inspired by one of the many rose paintings by Vincent. I was immediately drawn to all the greens and nature inspired hues he used throughout.

The scenery was really giving cottage core vibes so I created a rustic “wood” frame to complement the tiny canvases 🤎

It’s like having a little rose garden for your ears 🥹

More newness to come plus I’ll be announcing the drop date this week! Stay tuned my friends!

Monet 🪷 aka the king of Water Lilies..

In this series there are 250 oil paintings of water lilies that Monet painted over the last 30 years of his life. To say he had a love for them would feel like an understatement 🥲💗

There were so many beautiful options to choose from but I kept going back to this painting for inspiration. The deep muted tones with subtle pops of color and the way he painted the light felt the most like “me”.

I keep going back and forth whether I should do a matching necklace or not. Would you be interested in a necklace version as well?

Thanks,
Ashlyn 🩷

Starting off this newest collection with some Van Gogh inspired pieces 🌸

Almond Blossom, 1890

It’s always such an honor creating something inspired by one of the most influential artists of all time 🥹

I thoroughly enjoyed bringing these to life and putting my own little touches into Vincent’s masterpiece. I will never be able to incorporate all the gorgeous details his paintings portray but I do my best to represent his original beauty with the tiny canvases I use.

Head over to my stories to learn more about this painting and symbolism behind it.

More sneak peeks to come later this week!

THANK YOU ♥️✨

All orders have officially shipped and are off to their forever homes! I’m so excited for you to receive these pieces and I really hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them.

I didn’t take pictures of all the incredible orders I received but please know that every single one made my heart skip a beat 💗 I will forever be blown away that there are people who spend their hard earned money on my art 🥹

I will be taking some time off for the holidays. I’m looking forward to slowing down and making these next few weeks of this year a bit softer. I hope you have the chance to do the same.

Thank you again for all your support this year! This corner of the internet has become one of my favorite places and it’s all because of you 🫶🏻

May your days be merry + bright!

Love, Ashlyn

Last but not least… 🏔️🌲✨

I haven’t done a landscape or mountains since finding my “painting” style. Well, I can honestly say this is exactly what I needed. It’s definitely going to be difficult to part with this one 🥲

Tomorrow the Holiday Collection goes Live at 7pm CST.

A few reminders…

• Everything will be very limited in quantity or will be OOAK.

• I plan on posting a try-on to my stories tomorrow for size reference.

• This collection consists of a handful of clay earrings, a couple clay ornaments, brass jewelry and a few brass ornaments.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for being here!
