Hat: Newsboy Style With Steampunk Accessories
Why should the Airship Captain get to wear all the cool stuff? Here's a hat for the first mate with just as many cool gears and gadgets. It's a bit cocky, but you know, so's the first mate, and we like him/her anyway. Yes, this hat could be worn by either a guy or a girl-- go arm wrestle over who gets it first. I'll wait. I've trimmed this tweed newsboy cap with bits and pieces from an old clock along with some less functional but no-less awesome looking items. Gotta love that coil. I think everything is sewn or glued on securely, but some of the clock gears might be a bit sensitive to high winds, so don't wear it while catching lightning. I rescued the cap from the bottom of my hat bin where it had been languishing for a long time. I trimmed the tag out a long time ago, so I don't know the original brand. The inside band is approximately 22 inches around. Ships via USPS Priority Mail Medium Box.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Jewelry making and sewing are my hobby, and I am self-admittedly not a professional at this stuff. But I try my best, and if you are not in a hurry and see something you like, please feel free to contact me. I still occasionally make things!
Please give me 2 weeks to craft and ship, and 3 days for the shipping. Rushed ordered may attract more flaws.
Things such as awesome earrings, leather luxuries, and steam-powered sensations.
Every accessory is a good friend!
I always strive to live up to my name, which means Good Friend.
I am constantly tinkering with beads, baubles, wire, and leather, and a rarely make the same thing twice. I would love to make something that is your very own, unique piece!
The jewelry and accessories I create vary from simple, colorful bead and wires, to braided leather cord, to Steampunk gears and springs. My designs are based on natural forms, Celtic knots and spirals, and mechanics and clockworks. My stuffed letters are inspired by a gift I created for my sister when her first daughter was due. From there, I started making some for most of the little ones I knew!
My background is in landscape architecture, but I am always making things, braiding cord or spiraling wire or sewing, and my many hobbies inform my craft. I dance Scottish, I am involved in medieval re-creation, I make medieval costumes, and I am an archer. I also have attended Steampunk events and made several Steampunk costumes. Many my pieces work for either medieval or Steampunk, though some of the wire stuff is more modern. Mostly, I listen to the material and let it go where it wants to, drawing inspiration from the beautiful world around me.

For Stuffed Initials / Alphabet Letter Pillow Baby/Kid Gift4.3It was easy to work with the marketer. The price was a fair price but I am a bit unhappy with the finished project. It was not as seem less as I thought it would be for someone that has crafting experience. For what I needed the gift for it will be okay even with the flaws. The company overall always responded in a timely manner. Jeanette Z

For Stuffed Initials / Alphabet Letter Pillow Baby/Kid Gift5.0Amy did an amazing job on my stuffed letters projects. I wanted three stuffed letters to use as a decoration in my son's room. Amy was able to match the color of the room with the fabric she used, was a pleasure to communicate with, and delivered everything in a timely manner. And the final product exceeded my expectations in every respect!

For Necklace / Choker: Brown Braided Leather Cord With Copper Beads And Pendant5.0Amy was a delight to work with. She totally understood what I wanted. She sent pics of various options during the process. She was very kind and professional. I felt very comfortable working with her. It was a unique experience working with Bonnamie, I've never had custom made jewelry made, let alone over internet. I would definitely do it again and recommend to my friends.

For Bracelet / Anklet / Men's Bracelet: Braided black Leather cord with silver beads4.7Bought an anklet for a friend for his birthday. It was made really quickly and I received it within one day, once she had finished making the product. It looks awesome, but the length was 8" instead of 8.5-8.75" at the clasp, like I had hoped for. But it's okay because he can also wear it as a bracelet. The craftsmanship is wonderful, and I would buy from Bonnamie again.
