Announcement    Shipping Update: All new items posted 7/16/17 and later will show an increase in international shipping (outside the US) to a $10 flat rate. I found that I'm paying on average $9-14 just for postage (not including supplies) to ship to Canada, the UK, and other places. I know stitching supplies outside the US are generally more expensive, so I'm willing to eat any additional shipping costs over $10, but I can't afford to pay an extra $6-9 out of pocket for international orders. Items posted prior to 7/18/17 will still have the older international rate of $6.50 plus $1 for each additional item. US rates have not changed.
Thanks!

Or, visit my sadly outdated website for a look at some older items-
http://5thdimensionstudios.com - stop by to view a small selection of my digital art (not for sale atm) and some pieces that may or may not make it to Etsy (I've gotten rather attached to them, lol).

All my sales are done via Etsy, NOT my personal sites. If you see something you like on my personal website or on facebook convo me and if I still have it I'll list it for you here. :)

About my Artwork and my Jewelry:
I have two personal rules regarding my items.

The first is that I'll never make anything I wouldn't want to wear or display myself. I realize different people have different tastes, but if I'm not proud to wear or display something then why on earth would I try to sell it to someone else? This occasionally makes it hard for me though- I've often had to physically restrain myself from walking into my display room, picking something up, and putting it on, or in the case of my paintings hanging them on my wall or carrying my ATCs around with me all over the place. Sometimes I just can't help myself. ;) (This also means I'll be kinda sad to see some of these things go.)

My second rule is I'll never make the exact same thing twice. If you see something that's been sold and want one "exactly like it" then I really am sorry. :( There are several reasons for this. The biggest one (and I feel like a horrible person saying this) is that I get bored *very* easily. I also appreciate the fact that everyone wants to feel special and own something that is 100% unique and beautiful and completely theirs. Call it selfishness if you want, but I prefer to think of it as a little piece of well-deserved happiness.
For jewelry, one look at my paintings will show you that my "technique" leaves a lot to chance- I couldn't paint two of these exactly the same even if I tried.

If you see something you want and it's been sold, do not be discouraged! I'm more than willing to work with you to create something similar- but something that will be just for you! Just ask!
