On feeling like an Alien

How old were you when you realized that us humans are just flying through space on a giant magic rock? For me, it was pretty early. Soon thereafter, I discovered the mind blowing nature of Science Fiction and Fantasy… then, it hit me: there’s gotta be more people in the universe than just us… Otherwise, why all the space?? The Fermi Paradox asks just that- Where is everyone?? There’s a few possibilities, of course, but so far we are all just looking into the sky and wondering.

While growing up, I felt like an alien. Back then we didn’t know that I am Autistic, plus it was still the 90s so mental health awareness was still fairly esoteric. Somewhere along the way I began wearing as much alien art as possible, often in earring form. After loosing my favourite pair of little blue alien earrings, the devastation didn’t dissipate for several years!!

One of the first resin molds I purchased was a little plastic alien head. Then, found larger versions. My world opened up and had so much fun making big, bold and beautiful alien head earrings and keychains. 👽

These days am making more dice sets than earrings, but there’s always a few pairs at my table during craft fairs!! It just feels right to have these as one of my standard creations. Come to my next craft show to see what aliens are waiting for you to find them, as well as other handmade creations!
