Non-traditional Locket

"The original Anatomical Heart Locket, by Peggy Skemp, is an intimate sculptural scientific illustration that invites exploration. The necklace features a 1.5"x .75"x .5" anatomically correct human heart which opens to reveal a meticulously detailed interior. It is pleasantly solid in cast and fabricated recycled sterling silver. The silver has been assayed for purity and guaranteed to contain no heavy or base metals. The locket is held shut by the trunk of the aorta, which acts as a snap. It hangs on a 18" wheat chain, the fine striations of which mirror the beautiful musculature of the heart. The chain attaches to the pendant by threading through the superior vena cava and left pulmonary vein, causing the heart to hang slightly anterioinferiorly, as it does within the human body. It is a conversation piece which delights the anatomically-inclined wearer.

Each piece is entirely hand made with care in Chicago, IL by the artist, with occasional, greatly appreciated help from a few other local artisans. The hinge and snap are entirely hand fabricated, and the piece is carefully tested and hand polished before shipment to you. It comes brightly polished (not antique finished as shown in the picture- because that will happen over time.) You will receive the locket with a small yellow polishing cloth so that you can keep it brightly polished for years of wear. There is a small silver tag on the end of the chain with the makers mark PS.
If you would prefer that I antique finish it for you, as shown in the picture just make a note at checkout, otherwise yours will come brightly polished"

Hubble

"The order is for Toms canvas shoes painted to look like a galaxy.
This particular design is to match that of an outerspace Galaxy formation, however we also do customized shoes of any design or any shoe! (click here-- http://www.etsy.com/listing/92904411/custom-designed-shoes)
Shoes can be order in kid's, women's, or men's.
The process is as follows: once the order is place (don't forget to include shoe size) we order the Toms, they arrive at the shop within 3-5 business days, where we do the custom painting then ship them out to your address (typically the next business day). The process takes no more than two weeks from order to shipment! We work our hardest here at infinite inspiration and love what we do! If you ever have a question about a design, or a shoe size don't hesitate to ask. We are happy to serve you! click here for the customized shoes--http://www.etsy.com/listing/92904411/custom-designed-shoes"

Adorable Energy

"Caffeine... It's what fuels the world's productivity levels. Why else do you think there is a Starbuck's on every corner? The Caffeine Redundancy Mandate ensures that if there is a failure of one Starbuck's to open, there will be at least 15 more to serve you within 2 square miles of where you work. But, do you know what is in that caffeine? Glorious nitrogen atoms. Sparkling oxygen atoms. Throw in some sassy hydrogen and stoic carbon... shake vigorously and you have yourself the wondrous caffeine molecule. Delicious. Enjoy.

All of our Fuzzies are hand embroidered and will vary slightly from item to item. Each one is truly unique."
