Denali 2.0

For small business Saturday this year, I decided to bring back some OG OBD earrings. The Denali collection was an easy pick to bring back. I love the shades of blue with the pop of orange.

✨ Live for yourself ✨

The Little Library collection is me creating for myself. This past year my head has been in a book as often as I have played with clay—but I have also been craving to create something new. I combined two of my favorite things which makes this collection extra special to me.

Pride | KP X OBD

Pride is not just a month long celebration. It’s a year-round look, which is why this collection won’t only be available in June. These earrings are the perfect way to show support of the queer community or to express yourself! Is there a LGBTQIA+ flag you wish to see turned into a mountain-scape? Leave it in the comments so I can add to the collection!

Limited edition mountains

I love creating these limited edition earrings out of scrap clay! Not only is it a fun way to use up clay left over from previous earrings, but it also challenges me to pick colors I don’t normally gravitate towards. What are some color combinations you would like to see in this collection?

Looking for earrings to compliment rather than make a statement? Try the pink abstract earrings! This is an OG Oliver Bean Design (released in 2019!) that has been loved by many and is back once again!

Meet the Green Mountains collection! After 2 years of living in Vermont, I figured it was time to dedicate a collection to this beautiful state. These earrings are made of polymer clay (making them super light weight) and surgical stainless steel findings (great for sensitive ears). They are available now on the website (link in bio)!

Preorders will be open from 11/26 till 11/28. Once the order period has passed, I will make and ship everything by 12/15 so they can make it to you with plenty of time before Christmas.

Unfortunately I will not be participating in any markets and will not be in Alaska for the holiday season. This preorder will be one of the only chances to shop Oliver Bean Designs before 2023. If you are local in Anchorage, I will be restocking @dosmanosgallery very soon!

Thank you all so much for your support and desire to shop my art for your Christmas presents. Happy holidays!

It’s a lot of the same photo but slightly different that I save thinking that one day I’ll want them.
It might be time for a camera roll clean out.

Photographing these Aurora earrings doesn’t do them justice. The colors shift in the light and dance like they do in the sky.

Need a way to keep track of the clay recipes you use in your slabs?

I use tiles to keep track of my color recipes AND my slab recipes. I take a small section from the slabs I wish to recreate and write down all the names of the colors I used and where they are used in the slab.

This make it easy when I’m ready to come back to an old design :)

Original idea from @hellorobbo

I LOVE this sound, because I HATE making video content!

When Instagram switched it’s focus to video content, My desire to participate on Instagram disappeared and I took a step back from social media. I continued to create, but was mainly working on wholesale orders, rather than creating for YOU!

After a few months of not posting, I am going to try to get back into the swing of things. I am going to start slow with being present on the app, but I will be working harder to get new pieces on the website!

Stay tuned for more information on the restock happening later this week!

A busy day all cut down in to a minute long reel. I made this real the day before my June release (6/17) but never got around to posting it till now.
Since I spent so long filming and editing, so I figured I’d post it.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to run a small business?
I have always wanted to film a day in my life but halfway through the day, I forget to film. Today I tried my best to film a small part of everything I completed. It's really hard to film while I work since I spend most of that time deeply focused on my tasks, but I got a few good clips.
I started my morning off by getting ready and cooking myself breakfast. I ate in the studio while I mentally planned all the things I needed to complete. Then I got dressed like I was going to leave the house. This helps me feel motivated to get things done, but most of the time I wear sweats all day. I returned to the studio to create new spreads in my bullet journal for next month and worked on my computer.
Once I was finished with those tasks, I started working on clay. I created some new earrings for @dosmanosgallery and then I worked on a floral slab idea I have had floating around in my mind for a while. To finish my day I restocked clay and then cleaned the studio.
I skipped lunch so when it came time for dinner I was too hungry to film, but I then cleaned up the kitchen and finished folding laundry.
Finally, it was time to get ready for bed and I am finishing my day with a little more computer work and reading a book.
If you made it this far, please comment on your favorite smoothie flavors! Today I had blueberry, banana, and strawberry.

My favorite part about the textured mountains is you can take the beauty of Alaskan mountains everywhere you go.
