Squishy Sushi's Valentine Picks


Another holiday is sneeking up fast - here are some of my favorites for Valentine's Day!



Lucky Kitty: This recycled scrabble pendant features an image of an adorable kitty (neko in Japanese) on a fire enginge red background. It has gold metallic accents that looking like falling flower petals. Perfect for a young girl or anyone who loves cuteness!






Be Mine: This is one of our popular paper wrapped eco-bangles. This particular bracelet is wrapped with scraps of Japanese chiyogami paper in red and pink. The pattern is a traditional one of maple leaves.









Valentine Surprise: This scrabble pendant is made from a bit of recycled japanese chiyogami paper. This pendant shows a branch of pretty cherry blossoms in pink and red outlined in metallic gold. Sweet, Elegant and eco-friendly!







Scarlet Blossom: This is a vintage plastic bangle that has been wrapped with strips of an old decor magazine. The reds vary in shade from bright to dark and dusky giving it a neat gradient effect. The cherry blossom (sakura in Japanese) pattern was handrawn by me in between coats of sealant making a one of a kind piece of artwork.

Going Somewhere? Don't forget the map!

One of my favorite things to do is travel. I love visiting new and interesting places, the more exotic the better! So far I've hit 39 of fifty states and have been to about a dozen different countries. So, I am really excited about Squishy Sushi's new style of eco-bangles. These new bangles have are narrow (3/8") and are collaged with old maps. The width makes them great for stacking several on your arm at once. What better way to show off your love of travel or even your hometown than a bracelet with a map of your favorite place?
