Katherine's creations are made from upcycled and recycled goods. She loves finding cool items to use in local thirft stores. In her store, you will find cufflinks, earrings, necklaces, and hair pieces here. She says her inspiration comes from urban fantasy such as Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" (book and mini-series), Charles De Lint's Newford stories, and the Borderland Series (Terri Windling et al.)

She combines p-poc, steampunk, and a little something of her own in each piece. When she's not making this cool wearable art, she is also the proprietor of Irving Place Photography (also on Etsy!). Find more about her at the links below.
