selling my jewelry // would you wear these??
all pieces are crafted from reclaimed vintage rosaries. one of a kind, made with so much care and love. I released 5 pieces on my Instagram (linked) with 10 more dropping 8/7. I‘d love all the feed back!! Do yall like this style? would you wear one? If yes how would you describe your personal style? If yes how much are you willing to spend? what would you like to see more of? If no— tell me all the critical feedback. MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS: After a jewelry intensive where I learned to form and solder and transform all sorts of metals I wondered what would come next for my new obsession. While refining my technical craft I was curious how to create a body of work that I felt moved by. as I’ve undergone my own rejection and transformation of Christianity I’ve still found myself pulled back towards religious imagery. My camera roll is full of illustrations of Jesus, and gaudy crosses make me feel like I’m home. thats how I found myself reinventing vintage rosaries into gorgeous jewelry that can be worn on the daily<3

these are stunning and i would absolutely wear multiple of these.. i think they're very reasonably priced considering the work that went into them but also affordability, i personally wouldn't be mad at having to pay more though. personal style wise, hard to pin down but a lot of 90s/early y2k influence, mostly all black, kinda sl*tty honestly.. i think one of these would fit in beautifully with the kelly bundy vibe i'm trying to curate.. i also think it would be nice to see some gold ones since not everyone wears silver but if you're working with 100% recycled materials then this can go ignored bc i understand that you can only do so much! i genuinely would love to buy one, not sure where u are but would u ship to canada?

forevercherry This is seriously the kindest comment ever<3 this made my entire day. thank you so much for all of your answers. Im always so hesitant on what to price!! I want to actually sell them and be accessible, but would love to make a little profit… LOVE your vibe!! my friend called these “hot & holy” and kind of obsessed with that juxtaposition.. gold is SUCH a good call. Most of the rosaries ive come across are silver, but I should def see my eyes peeled for gold. Im located in somerville, MA! i dont know enough about shipping USA to Canada, but will def check it out. Feel free to dm me on the insta I linked and I’ll let you know about shipping

ayanah pricing is so hard but imo considering the time & effort you're putting into it i think going a little higher is definitely fine!!! also hot & holy is EXACTLY the vibe and what i would hope to convey wearing one.. that's perfect i'm gonna dm u on ig and hopefully we can work something out but no worries if not :~)

Nitehawk Cinema
If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

Anthology/Moma/Momi/lincon/SPECTACLE/roxy
let me break it down… Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different. Moma is like 10 dollars too but if you’re a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museum’s section is also cute especially if you like the muppets. Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different. Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however 😭

The room
Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

Talk shit about systems… not people
sometimes you gotta talk shit to process but often I think we talk too much shit…. At the end of the day we’re all human beings who are trying the best with what they’ve got. if someone is annoying you/acting mean/unkind it’s most likely all connected to a larger system that did not set them up for success. Instead of shit talking the rude waiter, celebrity drama, your friends annoying partner— let’s break down systems that are holding us all back!!!! or the systems that are probably holding that person back! Let’s give grace to humans and question the larger systems that generate more trauma and disconnect! that’s how we generate more love and compassion and move things forward some of my favorite systems to talk about are: •industrialized food and food accessibility •consumerism/overconsumption (and the connection to social media & celebrity culture) •hustle culture •politics/2 party system •cars/walkable cities/big oil •big dairy •Christianity plz comment ur fav system to break down / talk about with ur friends i love this stuff….

Believing you *really* can do ANYTHING you want
what’s it gonna hurt!! you are power, you are a piece of the sun, you are as great as you believe you are! Fake that ego until it’s real. your inner voice is an insanely loving mother that only sees the good. it may feel silly at first… but you are as capable as anyone, so let yourself believe that you are! isn't that the first step in getting anything you want?
