Studio Graffiti - Colorway Additions

The hand painted Studio Graffiti collection launched last year and was an instant hit. It’s the perfect combination of one-of-a-kind abstract brushstrokes and easy-to-wear styles. Plus, all items are $32 and under, so it’s easy to treat yourself or give as gifts.

This is the first time since the initial launch where I’ve added so many new colorways. What can I say? I was truly inspired! Introducing something bold & bright, something crisp & neutral, and something toned-down and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe.

All pendants and earrings are original paintings on acrylic, laser cut into bold shapes. No two are ever identical, even if they were cutout right next to each other. The material is lightweight, so the larger-scale earrings are still very comfortable to wear (and the wear wire is hypoallergenic). Choose from 3 different pendant styles and 7 earring options.

FRUIT PUNCH: a vibrant combo featuring coral, hot pink, orange, black, and yellow

Modern Matte Materials

Leather was the very first material I ever used to make jewelry. It was what started Once Again Sam back in 2009. I loved the material because I could cut by hand, it was lightweight, and you can get in any & all colors. Wood entered my handmade jewelry scene in about 2012, when invested in my first laser cutter. I’ve certainly combined leather and wood many many times over the years, but it’s been awhile since I added anything new to the collection. Time to freshen up my earring offerings!

You may recognize a few of these bold modern shapes from the hand painted acrylic series - the dewdrop and ozone styles both came from that collection, but then there’s some brand new shapes and designs as well, such as my personal favorite, “moondrop”. I had a really hard time narrowing the style and color options down - I truly loved all of my prototypes this time around!

For summer, I’m loving the lighter leather and wood color combos, but as soon as we get into Autumn I’m definitely switching over to the darker cocobolo & black. All 3 color pallets are neutral enough to go with everything, and there’s something beautiful about the natural wood as a color.

Sparkle is the New Neutral

Introducing the all new sparkle colorway in the laser cut acrylic earring collection! This rainbow of shimmer is cast in clear acrylic and laser cut into modern geometric shapes. All earrings are bold but light weight, my favorite combo!

One of the best things about glitter and rainbows is they put a little smile on your face, even as an adult. The other nice thing is they go with everything in your wardrobe! Who knew sparkle was the new neutral? I couldn’t resist adding this blast of shine & color to my offerings and I hope you enjoy the fun new pieces. Try out a pair of statement earrings or keep things dainty with a pair of tiny studs.

The Studio Graffiti Collection

I’ve been making a mess in my studio and it’s all for a good cause. The new “Studio Graffiti Collection” is a colorful combination of many materials, techniques and styles I’ve been working in for years, but never quite like this. The modern jewelry collection features hand painted acrylic which is laser cut into bold shapes, and no two pair of earrings or pendants will ever be identical due to the nature of the brushstrokes.

While developing this idea in the last few weeks, I’ve tested out several color palettes and landed on a few favorites to launch the collection. Some of these color combos may come back later if they sell well, and I certainly have ton of new ideas for upcoming colorways, but for now, here’s Night Garden, Carnival, Pool Party, and Urban Sky - all available on the website!

To shortcut your shopping on the website, you can type in “Studio Graffiti” into the search bar to see ALL items in this collection, and you can even search by colorway name if you see a color you like and only want to view jewelry pieces that come in that colorway.

Here’s a peek at my process. Watching painting done as a time-lapse video is kinda magical and you can really see how the pattern builds up on the clear acrylic from the backside. I never quite know what the painting is going to look like until I peel off the protective layer of film and man, that’s a happy moment every time! Enjoy this quick look at how this collection is created. The colorway shown in the video is “Night Garden” and is available on my website.

Clearly Abstract: Belle Armoire Feature

I’ve been dabbling and developing abstract painted jewelry for about 2 years now, and my latest version of this simple concept is combining paint, gold leaf, clear acrylic and walnut wood. As with previous versions of the abstract painted line, I’m still making a larger abstract painting (this time on clear acrylic) and cutting it up into unique pieces for the setting, but now I’m adding in gold leaf and making my own settings with laser engraved wood. I’m so thrilled with the direction this collection is taking!

Read all about my process and how this whole series got started in this month’s issue of Belle Armoire Magazine. All items pictured are available at www.onceagainsam.com in the splatter painted jewelry section.
