About

MY STORY

I'm an only child and a mom of two, and creativity has always been my outlet — my therapy. Whether it's jewelry, drawing, resin, or some other craft I've wandered into, making things is how I process the world. My muses have a habit of going on hiatus without warning, but I keep showing up anyway, because even imperfect creating is better than not creating at all.

My pieces may not be flawless, but every single one is made with two things in mind: I want to make something that sparks a little joy in me while I'm making it — and I hope it sparks a little joy in you when it arrives.

HOW TEKCOMICS BEGAN

It started with a convention and a best friend.

Tekcomics was born when my beautiful friend — who is truly like a sister to me — and I decided to start attending artists' alleys at local anime conventions. We needed a name, and since we were both deep into comics and technology, Tekcomics felt right.

We created art rooted in anime, comics, and fantasy — fanart alongside originals. Life eventually made the conventions harder to keep up, but the creative spirit never left either of us.

MEET DONARIPOSA

The handmade heart of Tekcomics.

As Tekcomics grew, the handmade side of the shop found its own identity — and Donariposa was born. Named to carry its own personality, Donariposa is where you'll find everything I make by hand: beaded jewelry in glass, crystals, gemstones, and metal, as well as resin décor pieces poured in my home studio.

Donariposa lives within the Tekcomics family, just with a little more room to be its own thing. Think of Tekcomics as the home, and Donariposa as the creative soul inside it.

HANDMADE JEWELRY

Beaded pieces in glass, crystals, gemstones & metal — strung and assembled by hand in small batches.

RESIN DECOR

Handpoured resin pieces made in my home studio while trying to bring something a little different to each piece.


What you can always count on

  • ✓ Everything is handmade by me — no dropshipping, no mass production.
  • ✓ Small batches of jewelry mean limited availability — when it's gone, it's gone.
  • ✓ Resin décor pieces are made to be different between pieces be it color or added materials/textures.
  • ✓ If you have a question about a piece, just ask — I'd rather you know before you buy.

MY SISTER'S SHOP

The friend who helped start all of this is still creating too. If you love what you find here, you might love her shop just as much.
