sometimes I like putting bones on chains

ay peeps,

So I thought I would just throw some new pictures of the recent jewelry I did on my blog.

Everything is for sale that you see here, some are actually on my esty,

for those who may not know, it is here .

I do take custom orders in case anyone would wan't something specific.

I'm going to be doing a new line of necklaces soon

and I will also be posting pictures and links of those.

I'm going to try to keep up on this,

since I'm never posting anymore.

Being a college student is had.

Head cold

Shitty cellphone pictures

The final piece was entered into a

I will take better pictures of it then when I have it back. 

Until then, voila. 

I art things under a full moon

New drawings of mine..

Thanks to Hillary Johnson, 

who contacted me via deviantart.com, my photography has been featured on the cover of her novel "Physical Culture". 

I am so proud to be given an opportunity like this. Words can not describe how happy I am. I never thought I would get this far at this age. I'm so happy she liked my picture "no grip" which is now the cover! I hope I can continue to be apart of her website. I can't thank her enough.

Hillary runs an independent printing company dymaxicon and her novel is now up on her site for pre-order here.

Please support her and her company by purchasing a copy of her amazing book!

Here is a sneak preview of the layout. 

Bullet shells.

Well today I went off to the rifle range with one of my friends.

We were on a quest to find some gnarly used bullet shells.

Bullet shells you might ask?

Well when I was browsing tumblr the other day,

 I came across necklaces that used bullet shells. 

These  are the fantastic necklaces I wish to make. 

Our bullet shell quest probed fruitful.

I can't wait to acquire some nice gems and crystals to fill these bad boys with 

If anyone knows a good place to get a lot of gems or crystals for a good price, please let me know!

Stick with it

The other day I was feeling a bit down.

I felt as tho my artwork was nothing.

I thought that being a fine arts major was going to do nothing for me in the future.

I felt like I needed to do something like Social work, or Psychology so make it in life.

But I hated those things, they are not interesting to me.

So I sat down and decided to draw...

I was forcing it, I wanted to make something awesome but I only became frustrated. 

I got angry at myself cause the picture looked like shit. 

So I gave up and walked away feeling even worse. 

I got up into my room and sat down and an idea came to me.

But after what had just happened I was reluctant but I began a piece anyhow.

I spent a good time drawing it and it looked awesome, 

So I thought I should start painting and during that process I got really .. flustered.

I didn't wanna mess it up.

So I stopped and I have been working on it every night for 3 nights..

and this is the result...

I was pleased with myself,

and I no longer feel like I suck.

I just hope I can find that place in the future for me.
