Mission Statement



↔↑←↑←↓→↨↔↑Mission Statement←↓→↨↔↑↔↑←↓


Every stone deserves a place to be. Especially when someone has gone out of their way to make it so, then, in doing so, later decides that something went wrong and the stone gets tossed to the side. Perhaps it wasn’t a stone at all, but someone thought it was, therefore it got cast out. Perhaps it is a piece of metal, borne of the scrap of 'ill refuse.'

Our mission is to show that each and every stone, no matter how mangled it is, no matter what it has seen in its better days, it shall have a place in our world, a place to show it’s own beauty before it returns to the big furnaces below where it will be melted, reformed, and remade into something new in the future; long after we are gone. After all, aren't we all living on borrowed time?


Just because it has been cast aside here, over and over, by hands searching for the perfect specimen; just because it has now become one of the “unchosen,” we have made a place for it in our world; because like stone, we, as people also have our own misfits and unchosen, and we are all here together in this world. There is truly a place for all.


It’s amazing when one thinks about it; the thing is: we have been led to believe that we are all perfect in our own way. The reality is that there are only a few absolutely perfect things in this world, and the rest of us?

Welcome to the MiSFiTS.

Introducing The MisFits - My cul de sac earrings

Finally, the Unnamed Earrings
got their tag! One night recently, I was just sitting there, looking around the room, watching the American Idol tryouts, and in between the drying of my eyes from my tears of laughter, it came to me. My copper earrings remind me of directions to get to that one friend's house. You know the friend I speak of, everyone has one in their circle. It's the friend that always holds the party, and writes the directions on a piece of laser jet printer paper tacked to the wall in the lunchroom. Turn left, go one block, turn right, follow it around...well, you know... So here they are:
My cul de sac earrings

Copper bent, twirled, folded, tweaked, rolled, then hammer hardened, hammered again and then little turquoise disks of 16mm (or so) were wire wrapped and lashed to the bottom of the copper. Brown niobium ear wires with copper balls were used at the tops, and these earring are long and pretty... hanging a full 3 inches.

They are very fun. You can read the fun listing at this location:

Happy January!
Also, The Drama Queen is now listed at Etsy too! YaY!
