So, i still need a great deal of help...I need anywhere from 10 to 5 commissions by tomorrow evening so i can afford my two month cell phone bill....Yeah, sucks to be asking right before xmas but without my cell i'm screwed on keeping in touch with anyone, literally. If you want dets on commissioning me, go Here Really....i'm praying my cell company will allow me to pay a tiny amount then pay the rest by the fifth of next month if i can swing it.

Hi, i'm a crafter and a photographer on top of being a writer. I make handcrafted jewelry out of beads, metals, and stones. Jewelry Album This is a list of all the pieces i've currently finished and is usually up to date. All prices are negotiable but the thing is, i have a set standard, as all my prices include shipping already for the US. If you live outside of the US, i have to add five extra (or more, depending upon where it's going).

Commission Prices:
Necklace: $15-$60 (after thirty, its the length, time spent, and use of semi-precious stones or higher priced metals)
Bracelet/Anklet: $10-$15 (for both, its $20)
Earrings: $5-$15 (this is extremely cheap with shipping included, especially for costly metals or semi-precious stones and also big pieces like feathers and leather)
Combos: $25-$65 (combos can be a bracelet and earrings, a necklace and earrings, earrings bracelet and necklace, anklet and earrings, any combo...also includes for stones and metals and shipping)

All items that are premade are about five bucks cheaper as its been sitting around and waiting to be worn, or i'm just being really nice! Note me if you want something or see something you want or if you see a design you want done on something else.

I also am willing to do portrait sessions and photography pictures in nyc (or surrounding areas as long as i can take a train, bus, or rail or someone can drive me since i don't have a car here). My gallery on dA has most of my pics
DA Gallery except for recent ones which i uploaded to my photobucket Kibykat on Photobucket (i couldn't submit on da for months cause of bad connection but photobucket liked me...go figure!)

I take paypal only....sorry. Unless i know you or you can't access paypal, i don't allow for checks or cash. Money orders can be given as well in case of paypal issues, but other than that, paypal is our friend.

Just note me on here, or on FA if you have an account there (i check both usually daily)
As always, prices are negotiable, but i will take half upfront.

So.....a couple of commissions. I'm still gonna push for this. Look below my id and you'll see my commission info...i really need to do a journal for that....Tomorrow.

Update on water issue is that the guy realized he screwed up in the estimate but its still gonna cost $1600 to fix. We found out that its a number of spots that are tiny leaks but their enough to be noticed. We just can't find them easily since their tiny! So yeah, still need at least $3000 grand for the repairs and next month's water bill.

I would still love to do xmas but that ain't happening. I guess maybe a couple of prints as presents is all i can afford.

Some crazy news that i'd love to generate buzz about....come to find out, my father has a ball signed by almost the entire Brooklyn Dodgers from the year they won the world series against the Yankees in 1955....including the manager. So yeah...priceless...and i have a pedigree since its never left my dad's hands until he asked me to bring it up to nyc for appraisal. Any big sports fans out there who have a couple thousand laying around who want a priceless piece of sports memorabilia? Trust me, i know its considered a holy grail...my friend is a confirmed yankee fan and was drooling. And i have proof of the ball...i took pics without flash.

Oh the joy of being broke....and seeing artists on here get money for pretty pictures while those of us who sell craft items and photos get shafted. I need like $300 for food and medicine but i can't sell any of the jewelry i've made since it seems no one wants handcrafted items that they can't carry on their computers. I discussed this issue with a friend who said that most commissioners are males....which i want to know if that's true or not. But since guys tend to want pretty girls and not stuff that looks good, we all know which way it goes. This is partially a rant, sorry for anyone who doesn't know me.

I make beautiful jewelry....everyone says that. But no one wants it unless its a gift. Like seriously, its the holidays and everyone is going to spend it on pics (I'm guilty of that but its a personal reason and not something pretty froofroo picture...) I know everyone is tight on money, but why not spend it on a gift you can physically give and see their faces light up at how pretty it is? Or on a photo that takes their breath away. This is why most of us have jobs but many of us don't right now.

And on top of that, my family is looking at nearly four grand in water issues. Seems there's a leak in the line...but we have no idea where or if its even our issue. But to find out, we have to pay a plumbing company to excavate and find the leak maybe. I know...everyone has issues, but unlike a lot of people, neither of parents work since my father is disabled and my mom stays home to help take care of him, my brother who's autistic and in college, my other brothers who are in high school and help raise my daughter while i take of my grandmother in nyc. So, i really needed to rant and i'm sorry you all are reading this, but i hope you all have a great christmas....i won't have one this year. And as the world sucks...not next year either probably. Thankfully my daughter will get a few presents from her deceased father's family as they all bought her gifts months ago. At least she's not going to suffer not having anything.

Updates
I have added a box below on my profile with info on jewelry, and we have a friend willing to help us by using his fancy leakfinder so we can replace that specific section of pipe. Yay...easier things we can fix!

Also, i my wifi card is dying we think so my connection cuts out a lot.

So the contest is over, on Saturday, i'll do the feature for the winners. But after saturday, i won't be on for about a week. is coming to nyc for a visit!

In other news.............I officially am a free agent...technically.......
Veltrusen and I have broken our handfasting (Or, could be said i left him) and I'm no longer with him. As of last thursday, i have been a free woman who has her future ahead of her and her sights on something on the horizon. As to anyone making assumptions and conjunctures....HUSH.(Lol, thats a joke to my close friends.) I can say i have slept better, feel better, and my depression is lessening! YAY! Maybe i'll be able to write soon....OOh..and i have new photos....*runs off the submit stuff*
