Jay Arrow Designs

Who am I you ask?

I am just a humble little bird-dragon doing their crafts.

I go by Jay, and my pronouns can be any, most will just use feminine pronouns on me, but I enjoy being called they more.

If I am they then they are me.

Anyways, I have socials around the place under the same name, don’t usually post anywhere else as most other places I just don’t like.

I’m still really bad at keeping up with anything online, just call me a grandma cuz I be OLLLDDD FASHONED!

also couldnt wait to finalize some patterns so i decided to make it instead lol

the idea: a bell that looks like a leaf so i can sew it to my witch hat points.

havnt gotten a leaf shape at all but!! i did wonder if i could do it with flowers. so i stole my moms hole puncher(dont worry she never uses it anymore) and decided to hole puncher some monster cans.

ive been trying to figure our if wire, stretch cord, or fishing line will work best for the most sound.

and so far what ive come up with is the metal wire with jump rings between layers to allow for a more thin profile rather than the glass beads i was using. and i would keep using them. but they wont rattle on a fixed wire. not to mention they wont fit lol.

hard to see in the photos but i promise the small one not connected to string has jump rings in it

so i decided to finally try my hand at a wire tree. ive had the wire for years now. this is just the practice tree for the real one i wanted, and hopefully will be able to put on a beautiful rock i got specifically for it :3

idk what to do with all of the creatures i have made :/let alone drawn. :/

oh well. :)

Species: Shrimp moth

name: Shrimp

attitude: sassy as shit. shes still backtalking and begging for food.

im very bored lol.

turns out the same people who made smencils when i was in grade school are still kicking! so i got a strawberry multicolored smen!

(because i have a grape smencil from first grade as a time capsule. as in i dont really use it. i just find it every once in awhile and smell it. and even tho the case is cracked. still smells the same all these years later :3)

I don’t normally post stuff like this, but i think it’s important. especially with the uncertainty in the world.

Go make art. Go make a meal for your family, go make up a game with your kids, go share anything you create, for it will always be appreciated even when you never receive compliments.

this is why im learning embroidery, this is especially why I need to finish my hoodie, and this is the reas i will continue to do art in the weirdest places.

I will continue to be myself, and share myself with others, to inspire as I feel like I cannot do much else to help.

i will be getting my hoodie done. dont worry about that. its just slow as im still finding materials for it. :/

i do still owe a chicken sticker. which i will get to as well.
