Presenting this year’s pride pendant🏳️‍🌈. The first of a handful of pieces i’m making for @ferndalepride and @warrencitypride .

A true statement piece, this pendant incorporates most of the styles i do all in one pendant. A rainbow of garnet, sunstone, citrine, malachite, labradorite, and amethyst lays alongside a golden rutile quartz cabochon i carved myself on my @cabking @hitechdiamond equipment.

This very well may be my favorite pendant i have ever created. What do we think of her?! 🖤

A look at where to find me this fall:). Taking a little break from vending after this to restock from my busiest year yet. Thank you to everyone who has supported this queer and their art this year 🖤☺️.

I sold my big statement piece and have to make another one. I’m thinking in rainbows and huge sizes. I cannot wait to get to creating. :)

Three petoskey stones with three different vibes:). My dad had a co-worker who’s brother passed away this year. He was a rockhound his whole life, and when he passed on, i was gifted his collection of petoskey stones to make art with. These are some of those, carved and wrapped by yours truly and sourced by a michigander. 2 of the 3 are still attainable. 🖤

Come along with me to apply finishing touches to a handful of copper pendants:). This process is called applying a patina. I use liver of sulphur gel to oxidize the metal, and then i polish the surface wires. This adds so much dimension to each piece, and makes each look antiqued! I love seeing the effect it leaves behind.

All of these are carved and wrapped by me, and currently attainable! Thank you for supporting queer owned business. 🧡🤍🩷
