*Disclaimer – While this IS a political post, I am not trying to initial debate here on my blog. I respect diverse opinions, but please keep it respectful as you are in MY house.*
I needed to DO something. I needed to refocus as I was feeling depleted, and overwhelmed. I read the articles on self care, breathing, keeping the resistance efforts maintainable to persevere for the long haul. And I was stunned, horrified, and angry.
So I started pounding on metal.
I make jewelry with meaning; sometimes symbolic, sometimes overt. I make talismans, and I make them with intention. SO I made “Resist” “Nasty” and “She persisted” necklaces. Then a friend suggested “Beautiful Resistance”.

After posting these on Facebook – I was thrilled with their response – because, you see, I pledged $5 of every necklace to the ACLU. And my friends responded in kind to support me and a worthy cause.
In a week I have made 19 necklaces and am sending $95 to the ACLU. I am also getting a “Nasty Woman” ceramic mug from Dancing Pig Pottery.

“Nasty” necklaces – $25
“She persisted” and “Beautiful Resistance” – $35
Necklaces are 18″ in length and come with gemstones/crystals colors of your choice.
TO ORDER:
- Email me at jen.davies.reazor@gmail.com with the subject line “ACLU necklaces”
- Request style/colors/length. ( 18″ unless otherwise noted)
- Your PayPal address/email address linked to your PayPal account. I will send you a PP invoice, which facilitates shipping for me. (There will be a $3 domestic shipping charge. )
I will be accepting orders for another 24 necklaces. First come first served. After that – we shall see… Until then – stay strong, stay informed. Support each other and take care of yourself! 




































I made these dragon cabochons this summer – they would be perfect beaded or bezel set. There are a few currently available in the
one – I am thinking inspired by the City of London dragon. This one has held a very dear spot in my heart since my student undergrad days living there are going to school in the City each day. The photo below was taken on my 40th Birthday trip.
