Things that sparkle


Another lovely little "Guest" and im already in love with her shop.....

Hi, my name is Megan Thompson and I have an Etsy shop called Gamine + Gray. Let me tell you a bit about what I do and why I do it. The shop is a selection of my jewelry, art prints, and note cards. Every piece I offer is a labor of love. Everything is designed, created, photographed, packed and shipped by me to you, from my home in Sonoma, California, USA.



My works are for everyday life, to make a happy moment in your day. I love the mix of old and new, contrasting textures, colors and materials. I love using vintage, unusual elements in my jewelry. I love the tarnished or imperfect, objects that tell a story, pieces that evoke a time, a place, a memory. None of my jewelry pieces are identical, though I do have some recurring motifs in my work. I love the play of mixed metals and intricate chain work, asymmetric design, beading. I am inspired by nature, interior design, fashion, art, dreams and feelings. In all my work I strive to have a simplicity and balance.

I have a background in art and design, having graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA. I have a degree in New Media. But there is something about creating with your hands that is so compelling and which I continue to return to. You have a wonderful connection with the people who own the works you create. I love hearing from people that they are loving their pieces and that they feel a special connection to them too.

I'd love it if you checked out my shop and let me know what you think of it. It's gamineandgray.etsy.com
