A PopSocket, an accessory for a cellphone/mobile phone, done in floral beadwork by artist Jennie Kappenman.

It is decorated with a floral design, created with glass beads sewn onto a leather covering. beads used for the decoration are green, pink, gold, white and blue in color. A light mylar barrier covers the adhesive layer on the back of the popsocket. The adhesive is used to adhere the popsocket to a cellphone case.

Portals created in the case provide access to phone buttons and plugs.
