It is best not to wear your earrings in torrential downpour or to swim in them--this may cause the thread to stretch or shrink. The best way to store your earrings is by hanging or lay them flat them so the fringe or flat stitch can move freely. If your fringe earrings start to bunch up slightly, lie them flay on a padded surface (I usually use a thin towel) and gently roll your hand over the strands. Please do not sleep in your earrings.

To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your stickers, please follow these care instructions:
Application Surface: Clean the surface thoroughly before applying the sticker to ensure proper adhesion. It is best to choose smooth, non-porous surfaces such as laptops, notebooks, phone cases, and water bottles.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: While these stickers are durable, it is important to keep them away from extreme temperatures. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause the colors to fade over time. That being said, I have multiple stickers on my car windshield that have not had any issues.
Gentle Cleaning: To clean your stickers, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals as they may damage the glossy finish and vibrant colors.
Handwashing Only: It is crucial to note that these stickers are not dishwasher safe. To preserve their integrity, refrain from submerging them in water for long periods of time or exposing them to high-pressure water, such as in dishwashers. Handwashing is the recommended method to clean items with the stickers applied.
Avoid Scratching: While our stickers are designed to be scratch-resistant, it is best to handle them with care to prevent any accidental scratches. Avoid using sharp objects or abrasive materials that may damage the surface of the sticker.
By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the beauty of your pansy stickers for a long time and ensure they remain a stunning addition to your personal belongings.

As the artist and owner of this business, I encourage everyone to approach my beadwork with cultural appreciation. Embrace the art with respect and curiosity, learning about its cultural roots and supporting the empowerment of Indigenous artists and communities.
Cultural Appreciation: Cultural appreciation involves understanding and respecting the significance of Indigenous art within its cultural context. When individuals from diverse backgrounds wear and celebrate my beadwork with genuine respect and admiration for its craftsmanship and cultural significance, it becomes a positive form of cultural appreciation. Appreciation involves learning about the art's history, symbolism, and the stories it conveys, while acknowledging and supporting the Indigenous communities and artists who create these beautiful pieces.
Cultural Appropriation: On the other hand, cultural appropriation refers to the inappropriate adoption or use of elements from another culture without understanding or respecting their significance. It becomes problematic when aspects of Indigenous art, such as traditional designs or symbols, are used out of context, stripped of their cultural meaning, or commodified without proper acknowledgment or consent. Cultural appropriation can perpetuate harmful stereotypes, disrespect the cultural heritage, and lead to exploitation.
