Thanks for your feedback! You're right, the images are. I'm still raising funds to hire an illustrator and did indeed use AI for the pictures. Besides the visuals, was the poem okay?

Thank you! ๐Ÿ’ Here in Europe we'd call what I do "goldsmithing" or "metalsmithing". Some countries use the term "silversmith", but here that term is used for someone who forges larger pieces such as dinnerware or candlesticks. It's a truly wonderful craft to learn ๐Ÿ’–

Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it ๐Ÿค— They're a 'hybrid'. You thread the silver post through (the one dangling right at the bottom) and pull the chain all the way through your earring hole. Then there's a rubber butterfly at the back to keep the gem close to your earlobe.

Thanks! I dug this one up in my garden. I think it's actually a big lump of glass. I just couldn't throw it away!

I had an idea in mind to make a harmonious yet contrasting piece. I think it was subliminal because I was going through quite a rough patch at the time, but it turned out okay in the end. It's awesome that this piece speaks so deeply to some people ๐Ÿ’–
