Cuz this is Thriller!

Leah is not just an artist and jewelry maker, she's also an archeologist of sorts.  Her "digs" are flea markets, yard sales and trash cans, and her finds are amazing artifacts from the vintage vinyl era. 


She recently came across Michael Jackson's Thriller...hardly a rarity.  At 110 million copies sold, it's the best selling album of all time.  


Still, a lot of those copies were later downloads, or cds, or especially cassettes, which were just eclipsing vinyl in popularity in 1982.  And those who did buy vinyl would tend to keep MJ's greatest album, with that iconic cover art, don't you think?

Leah gave it a spin for her nephew (teach your kids the classics!), but the platter was scratched beyond use. 


Gavin's history lesson on the King of Pop will have to wait, but Leah is admittedly thrilled to transform Thriller into some thrilling new earrings, a necklace or pendant, maybe a tie clip and belt set...as always, the shapes and forms are endless under Leah's careful crafting.  But with Thriller?  The results could be "Epic"!






Who wants to own a real piece of pop music history, that they can wear and enjoy and show off to their friends?  Leah is always taking custom orders so contact her now at leahcreation@gmail.com if you're interested in a piece of Thriller, or any of your favorite vintage vinyl artifacts!


As for Gavin, we suggest Leah include a music video or two in her lesson, since Michael did practically invent the art form.  Everyone remembers the zombies from "Thriller" and the gang dance-off from "Beat It", but for our money, nothing beats the leather tuxedo and light up sidewalks of "Billie Jean".  Enjoy!
