Psysub Original & Unique Handmade Hemp Jewelry For Individuals

Jessie Matheny, designer for Psysub Hemp Jewelry, has been designing various types of jewelry for over 14 years. She has been specializing in hemp jewelry for about 8 years. Living and growing up in Montana, she spent her days learning every type of craft from painting to sculpting, beading and sewing. Soon after moving to a more cultured northern California, she discovered that many young people made money by selling their jewelry in the busy summers. Noticing that many of them were making hemp jewelry, she was inspired. However, she noticed a lack of differing styles in the hemp jewelry around here, even in stores. Her goal quickly became to make hemp jewelry in many different colors, styles and genres. Especially for the counter culture. She then began vending her original designs on the Santa Cruz boardwalk in the summertime, and has been doing so since 2001. She still continues this creative sharing every year.

I'm Jessie.. About 8 years ago I started specializing in hemp jewelry. I had been looking around at the designs people were coming up with, and although I was inspired and always appreciative of their artistic talents, I realized that something was missing. With something as versatile and ecologically sound as hemp, it doesn't make sense to only appeal to one genre of style.

My aim is to take every style of jewelry from every mind-opening social genre and make it ecofriendly and durable with hemp. Many people think that hemp jewelry has to be boring. We are all used to seeing run of the mill natural hemp in the same knots and styles. This jewelry can be fun, but it just isn't for everybody. I like jewelry that makes you stand out, that shows off your favorite color or something you enjoy. Maybe even something you believe in.

The only personal style that I like to portray in each piece is the need for expression of individuality. I have been inspired throughout the years by the more rebellious genres that have both created social change and great artistically expressive style. I have created hemp jewelry for styles of fashion like gothic, punk, fantasy, rave, retro, and hippie; and often even fused some of these styles together for something new and inventive.

Some of my favorite medium to work with however, is the blown glass and lampwork glass. I like to combine high quality handmade glass pendants and beads with hemp for a beautiful outcome.Lampwork and blown glass mushrooms, flowers, and other artistic pendants are often combined with spiral and multi-colored lampwork glass beads.

In the more traditional aspects of hemp jewelry, I feel as if I have imporved on while still keeping the original feel. In combination with my self hand dyed rainbow and tye dye hemp jewelry, I have also created colorful intricate macrame designs with grateful dead steal your face and dancing bear pendants, cannabis hemp "pot leaf" hemp jewelry, different than usual peace sign hemp jewelry, and more.

I also like to create pieces of jewelry that when worn can express a belief or idea that the person might have. Along with the need to use more renewable resources, I've noticed that many health and earth concious people also share the older and wiser of holistic spiritual practices. I have created lots of gemstone hemp jewelry, some with healing crystals or gemstone beads, along with magnetic properties. [some examples of gemstones I use are magnetic hematite, magnetic rainbow hematite, quartz crystal, rose quartz, amethyst, jade, tigers eye, and much more...]

We take our crafting very seriously, paying close attention to detail and spending hours coming up with the best designs before making our final creations. We use only the best in high quality materials, and guarantee all of our products durability, but if there were ever to be any problems we would fix it at no extra cost to the customer. We are extremely happy to be able to share our designs with the world; and very appreciative that people are willing to support our business by not only purchasing items, but also by inspiring us with comments and new ideas that keep our creative juices flowing. PsySub is about helping cultivate the creativity and individuality in everyone, and I hope by showing everybody the potential of art we can inspire other people as well. Big thanks to everyone who has been a supporter of PsySub for helping me have a job that I truly love!
