Most of our earrings combine several thoughtful materials: polymer clay for lightweight, durable shapes; nickel‑free metal for comfortable wear; and a UV resin finish for lasting shine and protection. If you have questions about a particular style or would like a custom option—such as plastic studs, a different metal color, or upgraded materials—please get in touch. We’re happy to help you find the perfect pair.

Surface pattern design is the creation of repeatable artwork used to decorate products and surfaces — including fabrics, stationery, wallpaper, home goods, packaging, and more. Designs are composed with consideration for repeat type, scale, colorways, and end-use requirements so patterns look seamless and attractive across large or small surfaces.
I hand-illustrate original patterns that can be licensed for a wide range of applications. Each design begins with a small sketch, linocut design, or photo sketch, then is refined digitally to create clean, tileable repeats and multiple colorway options tailored to your product needs.
Typical uses:
Apparel and soft furnishings: apparel fabrics, bedding, curtains, upholstery
Paper goods: greeting cards, notebooks, wrapping paper, planners
Interiors: wallpaper, wall murals, decorative surfaces
Product design and packaging: boxes, labels, accessories
Licensing options:
Exclusive or non-exclusive licenses
Single-use or multi-use agreements (by product category, territory, duration)
Customization and colorway revisions available on request

About Me
My name is Sarah Murphy, and I live in Nashville, TN with my supportive husband and two sweet, fun (and tiring!) daughters. I have a love and enjoyment of all - or at least most - things art.
As a surface pattern designer, I’m inspired by the beauty of everyday life, nature, and timeless vintage pieces. From watercolor botanicals to hand-drawn fine-line and block print motifs, my work blends warmth, storytelling, and thoughtful detail to create patterns that feel both joyful and enduring.
My jewelry work is slow batch-made, as it’s a one-woman show (with immense help from my loving husband when we are creating the coasters). While my family and day job take much of my love and attention, each order and inquiry will be treated with urgency and care. Thank you so much for your support!
Whether it’s jewelry, surface designs, home decor, or something else I make, I pray that each piece brings a smile to someone else’s face every time they wear or use it and that the art piece serves as a reminder of the greater beauty and intricacies of God’s creation.
Summarized History
In middle school, I participated in a few art classes with my talented, artistic Grandpa Dutton, and I loved learning a few drawing techniques with him. During a period of high unemployment rates after college, I invested time in developing my skills.I had a friend who invested in buying me giant canvases and commissioned custom pieces, encouraging my artistic development, stretching me, and helping me grow my skills. This allowed me to learn more about my style and technique while also creating some beautiful paintings for someone who would appreciate them.
I have found great enjoyment in the creative process through various artistic projects such as making DIY cards, gifts, illustrated wall art, woodwork, and more. Most recently, I developed an interest in hand-making jewelry when I needed more stud earrings to wear around my toddler. This has turned into a peaceful activity for me and an honor to share with you!
