Hey Blogger world. Sorry I haven't posted in a while I had a lot going on. My mother passed on Labor Day then I went to Louisiana to scatter her ashes.

I'm still designing and no longer have the Etsy account. I save money by selling directly from the Facebook page so I want to invite you to LIKE the page @ http://facebook.com/Jewelrydesignsbyladiejaye

I'm going to be posting here more often so stay tuned!

Tigers eye is a protective stone that protects against ill wishes and curses. It shows the correct use of power and brings clarity of intention.



Tigers eye anchors change into the physical body while showing you how to recognize both your needs and those of other people. It shows you what's wishful thinking and what you really need.

Sugilite represents love and wisdom. It opens up all the chairs to the flow of love and align them. It lovingly protects the soul from all shocks, trauma, and disappointments.




Sugilite is great for working with groups as it eliminates hostility, and encourages loving communication.

Hi everyone!

I set up a new FB Page just for my jewelry and hopefully it will gain more sales as I really need the money since I am running low on supplies.

Anyway, it's just going to be for my jewelry only--no art or Art4TH promos on this page. Of course, anyone is welcome to post their own links as I am always about supporting other artists.

It's a new page so please, come on over and visit Jewelry by Ladie Jaye

Hi everyone!

I am sorry I haven't blogged in a while. So much has happened with my mother again--she was back in the hospital for almost three weeks. We found out she has a blood clot in the tummy, needs a feeding tube, and that her diabetes has advanced to affect her GI tract--in other words she has problems digesting some foods now--which is why we have the feeding tube.

I do have more designs coming soon but my boss has me down for more hours to work so I will be very busy--but will try to do something and blog at least once a week.

Life is hectic as always but I'm goin with the flow.

This is a really cool piece of Herkimer Diamond--it has a beautiful piece of carbon inside it kind of like a shadow. It resembles a Smoky Quarts at first glance. It's double terminated meaning it has two points: one on either end. And I used 4 pieces of 21 GA 14K Gold Filled Wire to wrap it.

Herkimer Diamond energizes and promotes creativity also detoxifies the body. It protects against radioactivity and treats disease caused by contact. It helps relieve insomnia caused by geopathic or electromagnetic stress and pollution, corrects DNA, cellular disorders and metabolic imbalances.

Herkimer Diamond stimulates attunement to the highest spiritual levels and to your own potential. It clears all chakras and opens channels for spiritual energy to flow.

When I bought this Topaz, I didn't notice the "flame" on the inside until after I'd wrapped it. The 14K Gold is what brings it out. In each of the photos, if you look closely, you will see a tiny orange-reddish inclusion. I call it a flame.

Topaz is a powerful stone in the way that quartz is. It is a balancing and calming stone that balances emotions, releases tension, balances emotions, and can bring joy.

Topaz stimulates the metabolism and digestions, heightening the taste buds! According to ancient traditions, it will stanches the flow of blood, and promote relaxation by easing tension.

Physically, topaz aids with gout, blood disorders, hemorrhages, poor appetite, tissue regeneration, tuberculosis, aging (reverses), endocrine system

Clear topaz is good for stimulating spiritual awareness and purifying feelings and emotions. Use clear topaz when trying to understand personal karma.

This piece is wrapped in 4 pieces of 21 GA 14K Gold filled wire.

I made this pair with 22 GA 14K Gold filled wire I bought from Wire-Sculpture.com. The ear hooks are made from the same gold, and that was my first time actually making my own ear-hooks.

These are a dainty and elegant pair and the gold and Peridot compliment each other nicely.

PERIDOT PROPERTIES:

Peridot protects your aura, is a powerful cleanser (gets rid of negative energies) detoxifies your body and spirit, and purifies the mind.

Peridot opens up the heart and solar plexus chakras and cleanses them. Burdens, guilt, and obsessions are cleared and Peridot gently teaches you that hanging on to the past is what's holding you back from your destiny.

Okay, so my dream is very close to coming true. Hart and I worked tediously on the paperwork for the 1023 application for 501c3 Tax Exempt Status. You see, Art4TheHomeless, the organization that I have dreamt of and put the past 5 years of my life into, needs to be a fully functional charitable organization.

Here's how it works. Say Art4TH needs $50 bucks for something. If we are Tax Exempt, a corporation could sponsor the $50 and write it off on their taxes for that year. If Art4TH isn't Tax Exempt, then they won't do it.

With this status, we could raise thousands for our goals: setting up a center where we can host events that raise funds for local and national homeless shelters and food bank and other charitable organizations.

Anyway, Hart and I spent a total of about 24 or so hours doing this paper work. An anonymous donor donated a huge chunk of the $400 tax exemption fee and the rest came from the fundraiser we held at The Five Spot back in July.

Today, with the check for the $400 Tax Exemption Fee, we mailed the 1023 Application for 501c3 Tax Exempt Status and had it shipped overnight. The IRS will receive it by noon tomorrow, and yes, we sent it certified mail meaning I will get a signature stamp back.

Now we wait, and while we wait we plan. It could be a 6--8 month waiting period, or so I've read and heard.

These are a pair of elegant earrings that bring the essence of both Malachite and Peridot to your presence.

PERIDOT PROPERTIES:

Peridot protects your aura, is a powerful cleanser (gets rid of negative energies) detoxifies your body and spirit, and purifies the mind.

Peridot opens up the heart and solar plexus chakras and cleanses them. Burdens, guilt, and obsessions are cleared and Peridot gently teaches you that hanging on to the past is what's holding you back from your destiny.

MALACHITE PROPERTIES

Malachite soaks up plutonium pollution and easily absorbs negative energy--it must be cleansed by placing on a quartz cluster in the sun. Do not use with water--or if you do, please wear gloves. Water that has touched Malachite is TOXIC, but Malachite itself can be safely worn as jewelry. Do not use salt--it will damage the stone.

Malachite amplifies both positive and negative energies and grounds both into the planet. Malachite protects against radiation and opens the heart to unconditional love. Malachite works with all chakras and will mercilessly show you what's blocking your spiritual path.

I am so wowed and honored! The Homelessness Advocate Daily is a collective online newspaper that combines news about homelessness, homeless organizations, advocates and more all in one place on the web.

As a homeless advocate myself, I sell my jewelry to raise money for three homeless organizations and also money for supplies. The cost of copper, gold, and silver are pretty steep.

Also, I am the founder of Art4TheHomeless and envision a huge, worldwide movement at raising awareness of homelessness in the US and changing the perception of Americans toward their homeless fellow citizens.

Anyway, feel free to check out the Homelessness Advocates Daily.

Until recently, I was selling jewelry online to benefit Art4TheHomeless to raise the $400 IRS Tax Exemption fee. We have had a generous donor donate the rest of the money needed to file 501c3 for Art4TH.

Also, I was selling to raise money for The Homeless Project. Each organization received 20% of all my sales. Well, due to me needing money and not selling, Both Art4TH and THP will receive 5% of each sale and I have added another homeless organization: The Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless.

I live right across the street from them and have been meaning to do more but haven't had the chance to. Anyway, I know 5% isn't much but it's all I can do at the moment.

Also, until recently, I was covering the shipping on all jewelry sales. That has also changed. It will cost $2.00 to ship in the US and $3.00 Internationally. But this is for a good cause and I am sure you guys will LOVE to see some of my newest stuff! I will be posting more tomorrow!

The darkening copper brings out the depth in this beautiful piece of Green Aventurine
