These laser-cut acrylic charms are small bits of Nostalgia taken from shows and properties that I hold dear. Initially, it started as a vanity project to have done over winter break but it slowly became something more substantial as I added more works into the fray. I wanted to make jewelry that I would want to wear and since the start of this project, I have made it a point to wear the charms to school and out to several events, getting compliments and delighting in informing others that they are handmade. So far I have made 6 charm collections: The Weapons/Meisters/Witches of Soul Eater, The Treasures of Adventure Time, The Shen Gong Wu of Xiaolin Showdown, The Technology of SRMTHFG!, The Gem Arsenal of Steven Universe and The Jolly Rogers of the One Piece World, with more planned. This came as a synthesis of the obscure works with the knowledge that I gained from the laser cutter as my time here in Grad School progressed and I cannot wait to give life to other sets which make my inner child happy.
