One of jewelry designer Kristy Streicker’s most popular pieces is a delicate, lacy-looking cameo, representing a beautiful woman.
And then, a closer look reveals–the woman is a skeleton.
Kristy, who creates vintage-look wearables, crafts both more traditional pieces (her silver flower earrings are gorgeous!) and edgier ones, like the skeleton cameo and her Halloween zombie earrings. She started her small business, Kristy’s Custom Creations, in 2009, and recently ran a successful Kickstarter campaign with her cameo skeleton necklaces.
Kristy talked about her creations, the genesis of her small business, and her life as a creative entrepreneur.
