Maker Takes: Toketee

This month’s For the Makers collection jived really well with my birthday getaway to Lake Placid. Inspired by “epic waterfalls, precious minerals and endless hiking trails,” the Toketee Collection is all about getting back to basics and seeking adventures in our natural environment.

I usually stick pretty closely to the projects in the kit, but I can’t wear normal earrings due to my orbitals:
