Here are a few of my favorite pieces from her beautiful shop!!!

 Here is what she had to say about her shop:
I learned to draw and paint at a very young age -- even before I learned to read. And ever since then, I've been compelled to create. I was living in NYC and working in advertising at the time I decided to pursue Ragpie, a concept jewelry project I wanted to share with others. Inspired by the heaping masses of waste glittering the city sidewalks and my own personal collection of used grocery bags and magazines begging for an afterlife, I sought to transform would-be waste into functional art.

...Thus, Ragpie.

My jewelry is meant to make a statement and to garner questions like "What material is that?" and "Where did you get that?" because since you're wearing it, jewelry ought to be expressive and help convey the wearer's own uniqueness.

Eventually I have plans to build out my product-line, adding pieces of varied aesthetics and mixed media to meet broader needs and wants. I love making things for people and look forward to seeing Ragpie evolve.
