OUT IN THE DESERT NIGHT

this Pride month, you can support a disabled queer man (me 👋) by treating yourself to something from my Etsy - everything you see above and more is on sale, and it really does go a long way to support me as someone for whom this is my only source of income.

there will hopefully be some new pieces up towards the middle of the month, too, provided i don't sell out of the new stuff at Denver Underground Pride on the 6th - and if you're in the Denver area, consider swinging by that weekend (June 6th thru 8th) and supporting i and the dozens of other incredibly talented artists, artisans, musicians, and performers who'll be there! (including my incredibly talented partner @littlerobberboy)

this month as well, 10% of all sales will go to the Trans Continental Pipeline, a local org that's doing some really important work to help relocate vulnerable trans folks in red states & otherwise unsafe environments from all across the US.

we've had some financial difficulties this last month so the support really does mean the world - even just favoriting the shop or reblogging this post will go a long way to get eyes on my work, so any support at all is appreciated 💖

one last little update to the shop before Christmas - i've got two new earrings up for the holiday, these beaded wreaths and trees 🎄 these were a hit at Them Faire in Denver this weekend so you'll definitely want to grab them before they're gone!

this is your last week to take advantage of my holiday sale - December 17th is the LAST DAY to order with standard shipping for guaranteed delivery by Christmas, or December 19th with Priority Mail Express (US only.) i do typically ship same day/next day depending on when the order is placed, so you may be able to get away with ordering as late as the morning of December 21st with Priority Express, but that isn't guaranteed.

get these earrings and more on sale - 20% off orders $15+ and 40% off orders $60+ - on my Etsy HERE 🌟

it's that time of year, and i've got tons of new pieces out just in time for the holidays! everything above (and more!) is new on my etsy, and all of it along with all my existing stock is on sale now till the 20th. consider checking out the store and shopping with a queer & disabled artist this holiday season ☃️

get 20% when you spend $15+, and 40% off when you spend $60+, along with free shipping on orders $35+!

hehe?

if you're in the denver, CO area, come visit @littlerobberboy and i at the Underground Pride Fest 🌈🌟 we vended there last year and it was an absolute blast! this year there are loads of amazing musicians and performers (stream Celestial Wizard) as well as tons of super talented artists and artisans vending the event. you'll be able to pick up any of the earrings currently in my etsy store, and get first pick of way, way more designs that haven't been added to the online shop yet (as well as a few new stickers 👀)

we're also planning on donating 10% of our proceeds to Palestinian relief efforts (probably directly to gofundmes most in need at the moment) and personally i'll be donating all of the profits from sales of any lesbian pride stickers directly to Emily Gwen

couple of announcements - first, a BUNCH of new earrings just dropped on the shop. i've been working on these for a while, and i'm super excited to finally get to share them.

secondly - i'm still selling on Etsy, but i've also opened up a shop on Ko-fi as well! stock is identical, but because Ko-fi takes significantly less in fees, i'm able to sell a little more cheaply there. i know Etsy currently has a lot of problems; i can't afford not to sell there at the moment, but i wanted to give the option for people who don't want to use their platform.

check out my shops, and hopefully you'll find something you like! ✌

happy Small Business Saturday to those that observe ✌️ i'm Eli, a queer disabled man living in Colorado currently trying to make a living off of my artisan work on my Etsy.

some of you may have seen it in the post about the new earrings in the shop yesterday, but on the Indigenous Day of Mourning, 100% of profits from all sales on that day are being donated to the Native American Rights Fund. if you missed that, though, don't worry - 25% of all sales from today (11/25) till December 5th will be split evenly between NARF and the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. and that's 25% off of sales, not just profit - before expenses are even taken out, so more can go to a good cause.

i really wish i could give more from the shop, but as i said before, i am physically disabled and out of work as a result and right now, the shop is my only source of income. by shopping with me during this period, though, you'll not only be helping keep me afloat, but also supporting two incredibly important organizations in the fight for Indigenous rights.

new pair of earrings in the shop this morning - these blue howlite points hang 1.75" and are 100% hypoallergenic and nickel free.

if you're in the US it's Black Friday, but much more importantly, today is the Indigenous Day of Mourning. we're in an especially turbulent time when it comes to indigenous rights across the world, so in lieu of holding a sale -

100% of all profits from all sales in my Etsy today, Friday 11/24, will be donated to the Native American Rights Fund.

additionally, 25% of all sales from 11/25 to 12/5 will be split evenly between the Native American Rights Fund and the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.

please also considering buying directly from Native American and other indigenous artisans today - this is a good resource for online Native-owned shops, and there are plenty of smaller artisans on Tumblr who could use the support. but if something in my shop catches your eye, know that the money is going to a good cause.

this is one part of a larger reference sheet wip but i wanted to post something for Fallout Day so here's a scar reference for my LW/Courier 👍

happy monday! I'm super excited to finally get these cube earrings up onto the store - they're simple, but a unique statement piece and definitely one of my favorite pieces I've ever made. because these beads came in a small batch from a local vendor, these ARE limited in stock! future versions of the same design will NOT be identical to these, so if you like these, don't wait and let them disappear!

the diagonal stone cubes are matte black, and hang from an iron rose gold finish rod with a 1.5" drop. and as always, the hooks are hypoallergenic brass.

cherry earrings have also been restocked, including the popular rose gold finish dark cherries, so if you've been waiting for those to come back, now's your chance! 🍒

and finally, this week Monday 10/2 through Thursday 10/5, all items in my shop are 20% off!

just added some glass and ceramic cherry earrings to my shop in addition to the darker quartzite ones, giving a brighter, poppier option for that more classic cherry look 🍒
