I've got quite a few pieces looking for new homes! All pendants come ready to wear on a coordinating chain, packaged in a gift box with a velvet bag for storing between wears. Shipping is $7 extra in the US. Made from semiprecious gemstones, recycled and repurposed copper wire, some being 1950s radio wire.

It's weird sharing things like this when the world is so heavy and people are trying to just survive right now...but, the thing is....I am trying to survive too. Art is a form of resistance, and for a disabled American, it's also the way I'm attempting maintaining my sanity.

There's more I could say...but... I'm not sure I've got the energy for all that.

I made the cutest little bat for a friend of mine. I know I've become shit at posting, but have you seen the state of things lately? I mean...it's getting to be quite a hell scape and I truly regret never having the guts to leave the country.

I'm trying to find the passion to post new content on my oF site, but it's partly accepting the changes I've been going through.. which is totally normal, but it's not normal for me so I'm self conscious and struggling to pick my self esteem out of the dirt.

It took me nearly 3 weeks to realize my jewelry website domain had expired. That's how far in the dirt my head has been. I have over 30 pieces of jewelry to add to the site and I just haven't managed to get the photography done along with creating the pieces.

Still waiting for a hip replacement....i put it off to be available to my mom and dad after his knee replacement. It's been nearly a month since his surgery and he's been having a hard time getting back to normal. It's his right knee, so he can't drive himself anywhere and he's not great at taking care of himself either. It's made me think twice about having my hip done. Like, I don't wanna be fucked up for that long. I mean...i already am in severe pain. I don't want to do anything that makes it worse.

This was way more of an update than I meant to write.

I could use some help during the time I'm going through recovery from brain surgery. I know it's hard to just "donate" money to someone, but...perhaps if you bought a piece of jewelry, you'd be receiving something at the same time as you would be helping me pay my bills.

I have all of these, and more, on my website. I also have a whole bunch of stones, including uranium glass, that i would be happy to wrap up for you.

A gofundme has been set up, along with an Amazon wishlist including some of my favorite comfort foods.

I'm scared, but hopeful, that this surgery will make my life a little more livable. I need to make some accessibility modifications to the bathroom, but my goal is to make sure my bills are paid for the time I'm recovering from this surgery. It's going to be a while before I can get my hips replaced, but at least the pressure in my head will get better.

I cannot tell you how happy I am with how this beauty turned out. fit for a fairy princess.

She's perfect, and she's looking for a neck to protect, a chest to bless, a soul to soothe.

2 Moonstone, 2 Amethyst, Blue Topaz, and a flashy labradorite center focal. Wrapped by hand in recycled and reclaimed copper wire, no heat welds. Made to hang at the collar bones, accented with a matching satellite ball chain.

I also take custom orders. If you can dream it, I can probably weave it. Contact me for details.

Try this again.

Except, without all the fluff, since tumblr wants to eat my words as I post them.

My website: www.jadedinkdesigns.com

Go, please. Shop. Buy something, or get on my holiday commission list before it closes.

I'm in need of some groceries, and supplies for an upcoming vendor event, and in a week and a half, I'm having dental work done. The only way I know how to do it is by reminding people of the things I do.

I have afterpay on my site now, to make affording my work a little easier as well.

If you can share this, I would appreciate it. If you want to help a disabled artist with some living expenses, even just a little gas money or something-cashapp $6od3ss;venmo: jaded-ink or even Amazon gift card money- I'm not kidding when I tell you I would be grateful for any sort of support.

Elven Inspired Crowns!

If you follow me elsewhere, I'm not sorry for posting it here too.

Because it's AWESOME, even if I do say so.

3 new pieces, each with a different flair. All available.

1. A little free-form bouquet, with so much sparkle and color! Amethyst, peridot and rainbow moonstones looking like a handfull of fresh cut flowers.

2. Elven-inspired wrap with a bit of an old school pin stripe look in the wire form. Amethyst, blue topaz, and labradorite framed by recycled and repurposed copper wire.

3. A little "kosmic koin" about the size of a quarter, featuring blue topaz and moonstone.

So....

This amazing thing happened- Jaded Ink Designs handcrafted jewelry is now on display at a local jewelry store.

An ACTUAL jewelry store.

Pinch me. I swear I'm dreaming. 💜
