Maker Spotlight – Get To Know The Face Behind The Brand.
Meet Kandra from EyeKandy Handmade. Kandra resides in Poteet, Texas. She has been making jewelry using polymer clay since January 2021. She is inspired by nature (the color combos and patterns are unbeatable) and she is inspired by other talented makers. When Kandra is not creating her jewelry, she enjoys photography as a hobby. When she is creating, she enjoys sitting in silence.
EyeKandy Handmade specializes in polymer clay earrings and is dabbling in other creations such as pendants, cufflinks, tie bars, lapel pins, magnets and car charms. She offers a lot of different earring styles so there is sure to be something for everyone. Her website is located in her IG bio. Kandra happily accepts custom orders.
Here are some words from Kandra:
-What made you want to start creating?-
“I saw other maker’s amazing talent and had to be part of that! I actually LOVE making earrings to give away but I sell them to buy more supplies. It has also helped to add a secondary income during these crazy times. Finally, it was a way to add a little self care to my life. It is like therapy for me.”
-Would you like to share any family info? Pets?-
“I have an 11 year old son and have been married for 9 years. We have the best rescue dog named Chacha, because she dances with excitement when she sees people and we also have a chunky cat named Kiki.”
-What is your MOST FAVORITE item you have created?-
“I hope I haven’t made it yet. 😄 But every item that I make has a special place in my heart.”
-What makes your shop unique? What is your specialty?-
“Truthfully, I feel like most earring makers have a planned collection. I create as I go. So you’ll never get bored. 😁”
–What is the story behind your business name?-
“When you see something that is pleasing to your eye, it is called “eye candy”. My name is Kandra so I played on that and used the K to make it unique.”
