Iowa-based Kristin Vaughn lives in a world full of color, sparkle, pattern, and gemstone. She describes herself as the designer, creator, bookkeeper, shipper, and photographer extraordinaire behind Hillside Studio. Her main goal is to transfer her happiness into unique and handmade jewelry.
A mom of three, executive assistant by day, and a crafter by night, she likes to lock herself into her little basement studio on Hillside Drive and create magic. If you scroll through her Instagram account, you’ll notice how bright and colorful her artwork is.
Her enchanting masterpieces are done with a variety of materials. These materials include polymer clay, and all the metals she uses are nickel free. Also, she mentions that her earring posts are usually surgical stainless steel, while all the gemstones are real.
All of her products are available on her website, but selling her art isn’t the only thing she does. She also films tutorials on how she makes the jewelry, with step-by-step details that are easy to follow. You can watch the videos on her Patreon and have a monthly Zoom meeting with her!
If you like to stand out from the crowd, then owning a pair of unique and colorful earrings might be a good option for you. See anything you like?
