Summer 2021: Taking Off.

The summer when the hard work started to show and things really began to take off.

By Summer 2021, I wasn't just experimenting with polymer clay anymore. I was finding my rhythm, refining my techniques, and watching Olive + Arrow grow into something bigger than I had imagined when I started playing with clay the previous fall.

The designs were becoming more distinctly mine: bold Kilim-inspired textures, rattan and botanical prints, Shibori-inspired patterns, geometric shapes, and warm metallic accents. Each new collection felt like another chance to make something more considered, more polished, and a little more adventurous.

And the glow up wasn't limited to the jewelry. This was also the summer when my product photography started leveling up. The presentation finally began to reflect the hours of work and attention to detail that went into the pieces themselves. Looking back at this chapter, I can see the shift, not just in my skills, but in the confidence behind the whole brand.

Here are all 22 original listings, preserved in their collection's best selling order. Consider this the summer Olive + Arrow really started finding its stride.

Better designs. Better photographs. Bigger ideas. Same girl making things at the studio table—and finally seeing where they could go.
