Studio Sweet Steampunk Ball Costume Contest Loot Donation

Studio Sweet provides a great variety of polymer clay work along with excellent chainmaille and jewelry! I cannot get over how awesome the little steampunk hats with goggle earrings came out, and she is just getting started on some of her steampunk creations!

Cthulhu lovers unite, check out her Cthulhu and Mrs. Cthulhu pieces on her facebook page. While normally focusing on anime and game related material she is branching out, and excellently, into the steampunk and HP Lovecraft pieces.

Who is Studio Sweet?
Jen Sweet, owner of Studio Sweet is located in San Antonio. Jen makes handmade jewelry out of chanmail and charms out of polymer clay. Her charms are mostly video game, anime, and comic inspired and can be added to necklaces, bracelets, earrings, keychains, cell phone straps, bookmarks, etc. Watch her updates for more Steampunk geared chainmaille pieces as well. I am really excited to see how she develops the new pieces. I had a sneak peek of some earrings that looked perfect.

Keep an eye on her work at:
