About Us

Hello!

I'm Abby, a mother of three little boys, photographer, occupational therapist, and the creator of Popty. I make these lovely, vibrant, and uniquely designed statement earrings from scratch by using polymer clay. It all started during the pandemic. I just had a baby during the lockdown. At that time, I felt that I wanted to do something positive or be productive...

That's when the idea of Popty came into existence. Designing and creating earrings serve as my creative outlet. I can do it all day because I simply love it!

What makes me proud the most is the positive and encouraging feedback I get from my customers! I am proud that my customers love my design and that it also empowers women. Lots of my customers have felt more confident when wearing Popty earrings. It simply brightens their day amidst the challenges we all have to face during the crazy pandemic times. I heard stories that even though they're not wearing any make-up and just wear the earrings, it made them feel better about themselves. I, too, feel empowered whenever I hear positive and encouraging feedback from my customers.

What Goes Into Popty Designs?

I love to play around with the designs. Everything comes from imagination and mixing and matching colors. I also look at Instagram for inspiration. Looking at other polymer clay makers is a no-no for me because it can cause a creative block. Another reason is that I do not want to duplicate other designs. Illustrators, patterns, wallpapers, or related accounts on IG can be an inspiration. Being a photographer also helped me come up with interesting designs, shapes, compositions, and color balance. I also try to look at simple and different things around my house for inspiration. At times, I do not like the output BUT still use and mix it into something to create something new. It's a trial and error. You just have to go for it!

abi's most asked questions about popty

which design is your favourite?

If I will have to choose which one is my favorite design, I will pick the neon design. I do not know what they are called yet but these are neons with a different style. They're fun to look at and wear. It's kind of my signature style.

do you have hundreds for yourself?

I keep one pair from each slab and I wear my earrings almost daily.

how do you do it all?

As a mother of 3, photographer, and business owner, time management was probably the biggest challenge I had. How did I overcome this? I think it's just accepting that it comes in waves. Making time for self-care is also crucial. It's not a selfish act but it's investing in your physical, mental, and emotional health.
