BIO: Honestly, I just wanted to make weird earrings. I wanted them to be different, for the "different" kinds of earring wearers all over this diverse earth. What I came up with is a wide array of earrings for all kinds of people. My earrings feature things such as recycled ipod parts, doll baby eyes, beautiful Czech glass flowers, freshwater pearls, semi precious stones, glass beads, dyed shells, random silver plated or pewter charms, and even conversational beads that can tell people that you are "spy-ful" or a "little devil". They have been fashioned together with either silver-plated earring findings (earring hooks and head pins, or earring stud backs), 925 Silver, antique brass, copper, and recently I have started using rose gold.

BIO: Alice Teeple's background is Integrative Arts. She currently works as a photography instructor and freelance graphic designer. Her classical training in drawing and painting took a wild turn sometime in the late 90s. From there, she started focusing primarily on design and collage, utilizing these skills in all sorts of forms. Right now she's working on fun stationery, jewelry, and upcycled clothing. Previous clients include Morpheus Interior Design, The Penn State College of Agriculture, Firebrand, and area musicians. Her stylistic theme generally reflects her passion for retro aesthetics and fondness for bizarre twists.
