i pulled this palette together from yellow jade, jasper, serpentine, and transparent gold-luster glass. serpentine can be hard to use — its chartreuse shades are tricky — but here it matched beautifully with leftover jade and glass beads. i strung it into a long continuous necklace, earthy with flashes of metallic light. while building it i thought about old rosaries i’d seen in my catholic school days — beads not expensive, but chosen and handled with devotion. i wanted to bring that same seriousness into a piece that could be worn anywhere, formal or casual. finishing it and seeing the palette click was deeply satisfying. materials/specs:  yellow jade · jasper · serpentine · gold-luster stained glass · ~50″ continuous strand  

still hot and dry, occasional humidity making everything feel thicc and stanky. the air’s heavy, the nights don’t cool down, and my stomach is wrecked so i’m living on plain rice and wawa 📦  cv called, this time about some missing shipment of props. i work there when they need me, but sometimes i’m swimming in texts. i’m rarely on some glamorous set with girls in velvet tho. usually clients pick their shit, set and forget. in cv i finally get my stuff shown how i like. buttttt in reality, i’m actually at my kitchen table with bits of twine and glue stuck to my hands and it won’t come off.  strangers be asking me if i still check my ex’s social media. no. just thinking about him makes my stomach turn and then i feel pukey. trauma is boring but that doesn’t make it go away.  somebunny i know is tangled up with a newly married ex of theirs. it’s making me crazy but i just bead, fuck it.
