The Whimsical Design

My dear friend Tiffany Nelson is a hard-working 3D artist for many popular games (Guitar Hero, anyone). But the eye candy doesn’t stop there. She has a freshly launched online jewelry shop, The Whimsical Design, filled with elegant concepts. Clear glass pendants with secret messages suspended in resin — check. Antique clock gears and keys for that Steampunk glam — check. Vintage silver findings — check. Delicate Czech crystal beads — check. Unpolished quartz crystals strung to look like dazzling pieces of ice — well, you get the idea.

Tiffany is a super sweet gal and also creates wonderful custom pieces. I have sent her crudely drawn sketches, and she has turned them into beautiful pieces that fetch many compliments. Also, if you mention that it’s a gift, she will wrap it up all pretty and include a card. ~__^

Hand-made finds

I’ve been obsessively searching for hand-made hoodies on Etsy, and instead, I stumbled upon delicate, crocheted necklaces by graphic designer, Danielle Thompson. You can check out her Etsy shop here.

Oh, and it’s not an Etsy find, but I think I’m in love with this perfect Umsteigen hoodie.

Umsteigen also has some nice sweater dresses, too.


Umsteigen is Susanne Schubert, a talented, 29-year-old hailing from Montreal and now working in NY. All of her whimsical designs are limited-edition and individually hand screen printed. You can browse her shop here.
