Altered Notions

With this being my first year of shows with a baby, I said I’d only do one per month. That isn’t holding true this fall! I’m hoping to add one more October show, and I have at least one November show on the books.

No, self, you cannot keep everything you make! I’m absolutely loving these beauties ❤️

I’ll have these upcycled tin rings and more at Clawson Fest tomorrow! Stop by booth 30 to say hi!

Not every tin I find is sweet and floral! I thrifted some fun Ninja Turtle tins recently and will have earrings, magnets, and pins featuring your favorite heroes in a half shell this Saturday at Clawson Fest

You’ll find me in Lansing soon! This will be my only show outside of the Detroit metro area this year.

Balancing work and a new baby means I’ll be doing a limited number of shows this year. Come swing by one of my summer shows and say hi!

Such a fun time making silver/stone rings with and last night at The class was so well organized and they let you do the process but are there every step of the way to give some helpful hands on assistance to keep things moving and safe for beginners. Highly recommend doing one of their classes! I had every intention of making an amethyst ring for my baby’s birthstone but the turquoise spoke to me. I’ll have to go back!

ART on the GRAND will be my first show post baby! Looking forward to getting back to it and seeing some familiar faces this spring!

Beth Jensen of Altered Notions will be at ART on the GRAND in Downtown Farmington on June 6 & 7.

Based in Ferndale, Altered Notions was created as a way to unite Beth's loves of creating and being eco-friendly. All of her jewelry is made from upcycled materials, primarily vintage tea and biscuit tins. Pictured here are Floral Tin Earrings crafted from a vintage metal serving tray.

If you saw me at an art show this year and I looked tired, blame it on baby! We’re so excited to welcome our first child, but it does mean cutting back on jewelry making and shows for a bit! You’ll likely see me back out there in June with a limited run in 2026. For now, you can get items on my website and reach out if you’re looking for something special.
Tomorrow 12/19 at noon is my last post office run until the new year!

Many thanks to for these beautiful photos! Give her a follow and get a session booked! My husband and I are super awkward in front of a camera and she made it so easy and guided us through a bunch of poses to make us look our best, even in freezing temps!
