Welcome to DOODLEWORM :)

Welcome here! My name is Naomi Hamel. I came from Japan to be an Art student in Texas in 1994. Then I met my husband Joe at school. In a year we went to the court during lunch time and got married! After two years later we were blessed by one daughter Amber. While working as a graphic designer, I desired to be home for my daughter. I decided to open my Etsy store. As an animal lover, I had the strong urge to make animal things… combining with my nostalgic childhood memory of shrink plastic... thus, the handmade animal shrink plastic jewelry was born. My first best seller at Etsy was Boston Terrier earrings! Since then, my handmade shrink plastic animal jewelry has been loved by many people. Finally in 2025 I have decided to open my own online store, doodleworm.com :))
