A note from Liz: I have been a huge fan of Yellow Owl Workshop. foryears. I'm delighted to now carry their lovely creations in my shop. Presented in glass vial packaging, these unique earrings blend a sense of gold glamour with a charming feline twist. These Cat Earrings are perfect for—you guessed it—cat lovers, whether they own one (or two, or three, or four...) or simply adore kitties. The mismatched yet perfectly paired cloisonné petite studs are gilded in 22 karat gold and have hypoallergenic posts. Each earring is .5" (1.3 cm) or slightly smaller. More about the artist: Yellow Owl Workshop is the brainchild of Christine Schmidt, whose art career began in primary school when she won a bike at the local grocer's coloring contest. This bike was red and had ten whole speeds! After a youth spent on the plains of Kansas City and art school in Washington, D.C., she and her now husband Evan moved west to a little place perched atop windy Bernal Hill in San Francisco. Fueled by too much black tea and public radio shows, she spent nights creating hand-printed cards and gifts. Seeking out local suppliers and working with fine, momma-earth loving materials, she began honing her line of wares. In 2007, after steeling her nerves, Christine took a box of her goods to some local stores, they placed orders, and Yellow Owl Workshop was born. Current day Yellow Owl Workshop now bustles with a team of hard-working humans in a sunny Mission district studio. Though the company has grown and can be found in stores worldwide, the original values of expert attention to detail, ecological awareness, and premium U.S. made materials are evident in every product. Legend says if you hold a stamp set really closely, you can still smell the Earl Grey and hear a "Radiolab" episode.
