So I’m almost out of mushrooms pendants, and I needed to grab some from new and old suppliers. The mushroom above is from a new supplier for me, FireLily and it’s a very cool looking boro shroom. Not exactly my standard enclosed fare, and that’s why I like it so much.
For a supplier that I’ve [...]

I’ve finally gotten through the reinventory process – something I probably should have done awhile ago. Ordering is back up on Phathemp.com, so if you were holding off by all means head on over.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I wanted to let you all know that I’m getting more mushroom pendants custom made for Phat Hemp Jewelry from the ever talented glass artist Duste.

I love working with multicolored and rainbow hemp, and it annoys the heck out of me when I can’t find a good rainbow hemp twine supplier. I’ve been at this for a year, so you’d figure I’d have wholesale suppliers all set up and ready to go. You’d be wrong – I tried to get [...]

It can be difficult to find beads that work with hemp, but over the years I have a few surefire sources for badass looking beads to go on the various thicknesses of hemp. This guide is divided up into sections so you can easily choose the thickness you’re working with – if you aren’t sure [...]
