Here you will find all sorts of things created by yours truly, Mattie, aka Matrinka. Mostly it is jewelry, and I'll add pictures as I can. If you have questions, please feel free to email me via the link at the very bottom of the page. I'm also happy to take commissioned orders, so if you don't see what you're looking for, but like the overall style of my stuff, drop me and line and we'll work something out! I'm always up for a challenge, which explains the wide array of goodies you'll find listed here. From tie dye to fine art and everything in between, I love to create things that are beautiful, fun, practical and bizarre.
Please note that at this time I'm set up to take PayPal. If you want to order and can't pay via PayPal, please email me and we'll work out alternative payment, okay? Thanks.
Note that the pictures with some items, such as the torc, are examples of the sort of work I do. Since many items are handcrafted specifically for the buyer, no two will be the same, thus the pictures are provided to give you an idea of what to expect.
