New Kintsugi China Jewerly In My Etsy Shop!


 What is Kintsugi?

Kintsugi, or "golden joinery" is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with a lacquer mixed or dusted with gold powder. 

The philosophy of Kintsugi says that the pottery's breakage and repair are seen as a part of the history of the object, rather than something to disguise. 


This is the entire philosophy that I have built Dishfunctional Designs around, so I am very excited to offer some Kintsugi pieces as part of my line of broken china jewelry. 


You can find these pieces and many more in my shop!


Here's what's new!

























All pieces shown here are available for purchase in my Etsy shop, Dishfunctional Designs



Be sure to check out my new book!

Whimsigoth Painted Furniture: Whimsigoth Bedrooms & More



A wardrobe well suited for a woodland faerie queen

Hi friends - today is all about Whimsigoth style - a little dark, a little woodland, a little faerie land, and all about that deep, dark background and rich jewel tone colors and mystical motifs. Enjoy!

Shades from dark plum to deep purple to fuchsia lend Gothic charm to this chest of drawers








An ornate hand-painted bed headboard lets you personalize it to perfection


A chair fit for a butterfly queen! 


Go wild with your favorite colors and motifs on a small coffee table




My personal fave, the painted mirror. I may have to do a YouTube video project!


Art Nouveau-influenced painting with delicate scrolls and tendrils


Fabric coverd walls and ceiling are out of a dream


For the diehard whimsigoth fan; mystical Snow White vibes chest of drawers

Upcycled fans will love this one; an upcycled painted treadle sewing machine


Hand-painted headboards are number one in my book. 

This piece has kind of a celestial or nautical vibe


I love a fiery whimsigoth paint finish!
