THE GALLERY

Small beginnings. More possibilities.

A look at the evolution of my kandi charms, from early prints colored with Sharpies to hand-polished metallic resin. Every version helped shape the next.

01 / WHERE IT STARTED

Early prints & Sharpie

An Ender 3 Pro, some Sharpies, and a few ideas. These first designs were simple, but the encouragement I received made me want to keep improving.

Refined designs

Cleaner shapes, more detail, and new color combinations. This stage brought the designs closer to the charms I had imagined.
