Hi, we're still here. Both Endy and I have been suffering with massive pain flares. Things settled financially when my roommate got a job, but our ability to supplement our income suffered due to chronic pain. If you could help us, we're currently 500$ short on rent. You can help us through our kofi

We're still alive! I'm just really bad at social media. We've been incredibly ill and going through some not great things, but I'm hoping the summer will be more fruitful. Enjoy what I've been working on recently

Sorry I’ve been gone so long this time. Here’s the story of what happened while I was away:

Finished. Will take better pictures before sending them off to their new home.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. 🏳️‍⚧️

This is a print I've been workshopping, alternate text with be "Protect Trans Rights."

Was struggling with a very bad bout of anxiety. Feeling a little bit better now and hopeful, I'll be able to be more active on socials again. Might do a silly little creativity exercise where I make little beaded bracelets to break back into making other than commissions.

Progress of the day 🇹🇹❤️

If you have the means to help even a little bit you have no idea how much it means, whether that be 2$ or purchasing one of our prints, or a piece of beadwork that's currently available. I'm desperately hoping our roommate finds work by next month, but until then art & mutual aid are our options.

Right now our biggest concern is an <this is only for 2 months> overdue utility bill which is currently at 580$ our rent has been covered but this, along with car insurance, keeping our internet on and buying groceries is starting to give me more anxiety than reaching out for help. 2/?

Thing are rough rn, our roommate is still looking for work. I haven't been talking or asking for as much help as last month as it still fills me with a lot of anxiety to reach out for mutual aid. But we could really use some help getting through this month. 1/?

These little cuties are still available ~

Working on a commission of the Trinidad & Tobago flag 🇹🇹 Flags and straight lines are tricky, Overfilling can distort the edges and lines but underfilling can result in seeing the interfacing underneath. I'm still learning how to maintain straight lines in deceptively "simple" designs.

❤️❤️❤️ I can't wait to see it when you're finished, if you end up sharing it or feeling comfortable sharing it, I'd love to see it when it's done ✨️

My lines looked SO wobbly for what felt like forever! The thing that helped me through it is looking at examples of "historical" beadwork, looking at relatives work from 10-20 years ago really helped. They're work is gorgeous, and perfect in it's own way but it's different and it helps. ❤️

Thank you ✨️❤️ This was a really lovely and needed reminder.

Being a slow beader is frustrating sometimes, I've been beading for over three years now and while my time has improved. It still feels frustrating to do in two weeks what some beaders can do in a day. I know it's because of multiple factors, including chronic pain... but it's discouraging sometimes

Endy made these for me as a Valentine's Day gift 🥹🖤 Excuse me while I cry out of love and joy for a bit! I'm so lucky ❤️‍🔥

Finished work for an art trade 🩷🌸 Stone Femme earrings ~
