Hand Embroidered Michael Jackson!

I have been making Rock With You and I Love Michael Jackson iPod cases since 2004-2005. I will reissue these soon to fit the iPhone (current and new models), can't wait, now is such a great time! RIP The King Of Pop!




This was my first press ever! So jazzed because Lucky Magazine is one of my all time favorite publications!

DIY 'Converter Box'

Why spend time waiting for your converter box to arrive when you can still watch your favorite t.v. personalities without all the wires and waiting. Measure your screen, print out an appropriate sized newscaster, sports star or whatever and stick it on your boob tube with double sided tape! I chose Mia Lee, a popular Los Angeles area newscaster, as this was the sensible choice.


If you decide to make one, take a picture of your boob tube celebrity and send it to me at info[at]charcoaldesigns[dot]com!

Owl Pincushion Winner Is...

The winning name is HOOTERS!

Thank you everyone who entered! It was so hard to decide on a winner because the entries were all so good! In the end I decided to go for a name that was short, precise and can be taken out of context, which I love!

Close runners up were *even an owl needs a day job , *how many pricks, and *owl that hurts, well really the list goes on and on, they were all brilliant! Thanks again everyone, until we meet again at the next contest!

I came across these shoes via a twitter update from my pal Jennifer Perkins (of Naughty Secretary Club). There are many different designs on the same style shoes to choose from (sort of like Lesportsac bags), but I think these are my favs...

Promo Swap! Anyone interested?

Hey guys, Spitfire Interiors and I just had a ton of postcard printed up and our goal is to hand them all out by the end of the summer! I send out a lot of card with orders (and hand them out at shows) and I would like to include your business cards or postcards with my orders too, In turn I will send you my postcards so you can send them out with your orders.

If you are interested please email me so we can swap postcards/business cards and addresses!

My shop is more on the punk, rockabilly, cutesy, kitschy side, so I am mostly looking to swap with shops that are similar (it will work out better for both of us), if this sounds like your shop please drop me a line so we can swap!!

Btw, your shop doesn't have to be just jewelry, I'm looking to swap with t-shirt companies, artists, crafters, makers, etsy shops, etc.

Thanks!! -Laura Stokes-Estrada

P.S. Here is what our postcard looks like (double sided, front and back)...

A sample of one of our past promo packs! Send in your stuff so you can be included!...
