Bark at the Moon - Wolf Fringe Earrings

Not quite the Three Moon T-shirt but this is just as cool. Wear this on the next full moon while listening to some Ozzy and basically bark at the moon. Good times.
layered silver vinyl(moon), blue plastic sheet (night sky), wooden wolf charm, and bronze vinyl for some fringe action.

Team Salvage article

Here is the article from Tonic, written last year (feb 2009) on Team Salvage.

"Team Salvage, made by jewelry designer Lena Kim and neighborhood friend Jenny Senungetuk, salvages “pre-loved apparel” from a wear-less fate by adding graphic appliqués that hearken back to simpler days"

Ride The Lightning Earrings -niceLena




Pure awesomeness happening over here. These earrings remind me of jr. high and my head banging days. Those were the days, when i used to daydream about men in spandex with long flowing hair and more costume jewelry then grandma. it was great. I miss it. 

Blood red metallic lightning rides on top of green ice vinyl wings.

Super Fantastic Fringe Necklace - niceLena





From feb10

This necklace has the right about of toughness and feminine details. The use of the vinyl creates a look of leather without all the guilt and it adds softness to the whole look while adding the right amount of contrast to the metal chains. The center pieces is an applique that was cut out and added to give it that last final touch. Love it!!

The chains are copper and gold plated heart shaped links.

hangs 24" adjustable

it is superfantastic!

Hungry Like The Wolf Earrings

"In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd.
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf....."

sing that every time you wear these earrings. hammered copper link with wood wolf head charm. gold plated ear wire. 2"
