April 20th Painted Tree Sunset Valley opened and #tottemoii was right there with my first physical location! The space available was too big, so I supplemented my handmade items with imported items from Japan that fit the shop’s theme! <3 <3 <3 So cute! Retro! It was my little Kissaten Corner!
#tottemoii ‘s 2024 was marked by a lot of experimentation with #japaneseresin and how to mix colors, pieces, and mediums. I’ve improved a lot since then but it is important to look back and appreciate one’s progress!
Cute, pink phone straps! It’s really hard to believe these were all from a year ago!
They feel so girly and cute, and I’m grateful they all found good homes! #tottemoii
Bow hair clips! These all sold at the first event of 2024: Asahi’s DokiDoki market! I practiced making many kinds of bows but I did really enjoy the simplicity of these smaller ones especially with strawberries! #tottemoii
My moon and stars! Hahaha~ i loved making this necklace so much that I made two, and they were very popular! Combining resin pieces usually results in something extra unique! #tottemoii #handmadeartist #handmaderesinjewelry
#kawaiiaesthetic embodied in these cute cherries! #tottemoii made these cute cherry earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, and thry all sold out quickly. Should I make more I wonder? Looking back, they’re simple but so cute and sparkly!

These matching rings and earrings are made with #czechglassbeads and #miyukibeads from Japan! I loved visiting Miyuki in #akasakabeadtown in Tokyo. The store was beautifully organized and a dream to shop in! I’m happy I could make such beautiful, high quality items with Miyuki beads. #tottemoii
This natural stone set was outside what #tottemoii typically produces, but I wanted to make something that used abalone, stone, and glass in a new way. The result is something that evokes a natural feel while still appearing elegant and unique! Wouldn’t you agree?
These rings were inspired by the artists I saw in #shimokitazawa and #ikebukuro and have since seen at #designfesta . I wanted to do something complex from a very sinple base. The first one took 2 hours but it was satisfying to see how it turned out! #resinjewelry #japanesefashion #tottemoii
Cute strawberries! These were some of my favorite beads I purchased at #akasakabeadtown in Tokyo!
Soft and dreamy, the set makes a great addition to #sweetlolitacoorinates and any kind of #girly #jfashion styles!
What would you wear them with? #strawberryjewelry #tottemoii #independentartist
Pearls are a beautiful and elegant addition to any coordinate! These were inspired by #countrylolitafashion and #classiclolitafashion but they are both the retro feel I try to incorporate into most of my work. #tottemoii #handmadeearrings #phonestrap #bagcharms
When #tottemoii started out, I focused on making little sets.
But now, I’ve made entire collections, and I call that progress!

I loved making these little cloud pins in 2023, and all of them sold immediately! The ombre one is my favorite.
Should I make them again?

Tottemoii’s mini debut was San Japan 2023! : 0 I sold out of 80% of my stock in one weekend and then and there I finally believed, “I CAN design cute things that people may appreciate and feel cute using and wearing!” I will always be grateful for that opportunity. Thank you! #gratitude #tottemoii
How much is that ghostie in the window? Cute right? Earrings, necklce, and glasses chains! #tottemoii ‘s first ever sale was the glasses chain here! #handmadejewelry is very rewarding when people can feel cute and beautiful weating your creations!
Cute earrings! #tottemoii designs for all kinds of #japanesefashions or to be worn with any fashion! When making these, I was thinking of #egl of course! These were very popular at our premiere in 2023 at San Japan!
So proud of these that sold out at the premiere of #tottemoii ! All of our jewelry is 18k gold plated and nickel free and has been from the beginning!
As a #resinartist and #smallbusinessowner, it’s nice to look at how far I’ve come from the beginning. Let this account be a portfolio of progress!
#tottemoii is always focused on #elegance and a #kawaiiaesthetic . All of these have found homes over the last year with the first pair being sold just last weekend. It’s so fulfilling as a #independentartist to see your pieces finally make it home to a dear customer.
Ghosties! #tottemoii will always have #kawaiighosties in stock! These dangly rings all sold out as part of the Halloween series at our first event in 2023. These cutie beads were purchased in #akasakabeadtown in Tokyo, Japan! : >
The delicate balance of #padico resin pieces, beads, and rhinestones results in an intricate and unique ring! I’m happy to have delivered such a piece in my first event in 2023. : > #tottemoii #handmaderesinartist
It all starts with one piece! Tottemoii began in 2023 in July, and I have been improving ever since in resin, sewing, embroidery, and design.
I’m coming to Bluesky for fear of Instagram’s AI incorrectly pulling my art down without being given any way to fight it.
T - T wish me luck! #tottemoii
