your account is awesome, i love your interpretations of ppls designs :D
Tumblr media
i wonder how you’d interpret Howlite into the SU style! i’ve tried replicating the style in the past but clean lineart just isn’t my thing… lol love your stuff!!
• By submitting a gem I assume you have read the rules and agreed for me to judge •
I saw your gemsona designs before! I love their shapes and colors dude and this is no different but I'm still gonna be a little mean
Tumblr media
So you may take a look at this and think: "This is so ugly". And I'll tell you: "You're so right". There's too much going on with the design. To fit in the SU style (once you ignore the whole clean design), it needs to be simpler because it needs to be animated, easy to understand and with a limited palette.
Since it has the diamond insignia, I assume it's a Homeworld gem and trrried to go around that. A lot of the vibes I get is depressed artist more of an "Earth" so I made a sketch bonus!
Tumblr media
Because your design has a lot, I divided it to have a Crystal Gem outfit (I don't know if as a gem they would join tho). More loosen hair but still asymmetrical. Im personally don't like fully black colors because that means changing the lineart in some specific parts and I'm picky.
Now don't get me wrong! Overcomplicating a design is fine. You're hurting no one, you're doing it for fun (I assume) and honestly who cares, art is about expression!
So I hope you enjoy my lil' butchering haha

🕯️ vnm 🃏 cshpp 🔮 gfndme ☕
options and photos of my equipment (& cute pets!) beneath the cut:
deck options:
standard smith-waite: tiny (smaller than a US quarter), pocket size (comparable to a business card), and standard size
Tumblr media
nonstandard smith-waite: the somnia tarot by nicolas bruno (incredible photography project. eerie, dreamlike, liminal, yet the physical props give it a more grounded, tangible feel than your average deck.), the tattoo tarot (stunning art, if you like clean but complex designs, classic playing card artwork, or traditional western tattoo art, this deck will really resonate with you.), the literary tarot (each card depicts classic literary characters from around the world; deck sales benefited charity. my personal favorite. every detail is carefully crafted to appeal to book lovers. elaborate, shiny, magical. also they gave odysseus top surgery scars)
Tumblr media
specialty decks: the caretaker (@cryptotheism, formerly @normal-horoscopes)'s normal tarot deck (completely original oracle deck, feels liminal and dark, but somehow peaceful; great for someone pondering deep mysteries or looking for advice in hard times), moreno & quijada's sonoran tarot (smith-waite's major arcana only; stunning and vibrant watercolors of sonoran desert wildlife. really showcases the power and wonder of the natural world. local purchase from indie artists who I've personally met)
Tumblr media
if you'd like me to use a specific tarot spread template, please let me know. otherwise i will choose the best option for your query + number of cards. you can also pick a spread mat, if you like! you don't need to purchase enough cards to fill the mat; i can get creative with the placement. just let me know if you want the floral mat or the bunny mat:
Tumblr media
other options:
pendula: metal (this was a gift and i don't know what it's made of; brass maybe? gold in color.), howlite, glass beads with sea turtle scene
crystal chips: red jasper, various quartz, flourite, lapis lazuli, lace agate, tigers eye, sunstone, sodalite, bismuth. all stones can be thrown, or you/i can choose 5-10 specific stones that resonate with your query.
runes: elder futhark, white clay, handmade. wyrd optional.
Tumblr media
my kitty cat, nachtus:
Tumblr media
nacht came into my life through my current girlfriend, who has had him since he was born. every time she went into the room with his litter, he scrambled up her pant leg like he knew she would be his favorite person. he's about 2 years old now, and loves cuddles, belly rubs, q-tips, waking up our boyfriend in the middle of the night, bothering people while they're gaming, and sitting on my gf's shoulder like a parrot.
my puppy dog, misha:
Tumblr media
misha came into my life through my current boyfriend, who has had him since he was a puppy. he was a rescue, along with his brother oakley, who went with my boyfriend's sister. misha is a chug (chihuahua-pug mix) and is estimated to be around 8 years old. he loves cuddles, being swaddled in blankets, barking at strangers, lying on the softest pillows he can find, and zoomies!
thanks so much for taking the time to read this. it means more than you know.

This necklace is hand made with death and time in mind this piece is inspired by Greek God Thanatos and the Norse Goddess Hel. This Prayer Beads has a semi Hour Glass pendant that is timed at only a few seconds. This necklace is also inspired by the Angel of Death Azrael. This piece is made with Garnet, Onyx and Howlite and tarnish resistant wire, resistant not proof so please keep in mind when cleaning.
This piece is long enough to slip over your head, no clasp needed but I can add one if you want, please message me right after purchase or leave it in notes.
While support my small business you also support other small businesses which I buy from. This includes a local Native American bead vendor and an elder mom and pops shop. Thank you so much for choosing my designs.

I had an old concept for a Steven Universe fan character sitting around and I was encouraged to tune them up a bit ~ Howlite is a defect who became a spy for Rose Quartz. (This backstory was created before we knew about Rose's origin)
I never really did anything with her but.... I like her design.

omg I love benrey's design! who is the artist?
The artist for Benrey is @n3xu5-c0r3. She’s a great person to have on our team.
If you do want to know the artists, for further reference, on the full website (linked in the pinned post), there should be a meet the character tab with all artists credited that are fine with it as of now.

Buying Crystals - Trademarks and Alternative Names
Part 4 of 7 in a guide for buying crystals. Read the rest here!
People can trademark anything, including crystals. Crystals may also be sold under different names than what you're used to. Is this a bad thing?
Definitions
A trademark in the US is defined as a word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination of the prior that identifies a good or service. It identifies the source of the good or service, provides brand protection, and helps against counterfeiting and fraud. ¹ Don't confuse trademarks with copyrights or patents. Copyright is primarily for creative works, while patents are for technical inventions. Trademarks are for protecting an individual or company's brand.⁵
Alternative names are, well, other names for the same crystal. This isn't a legal term, and thus, isn't legally binding. Unlike a trademark, where a specific entity (such as a company) owns the rights to use it, anyone can use alternative names. Many alternative names are valid names which other crystals are sold under. These may be also called trade names.
Common names are the names we all know for a particular crystal. This is also not a legal term; no trademark lawyer would allow someone to trademark ordinary clear quartz.
Let's use agate as an example. Agate is the common name for a type of banded quartz. Achate is an alternate name, used in older texts that is uncommon to find today. Activation Agate™ (not an actual trademark) is obviously trademarked. They may all be the same agate, the same kind of banding and colours and location, but they are called different things depending on who sells them.
Wait, You Can Trademark Crystals?
If this sounds ridiculous to you, you're right! This is ridiculous, but it is legally allowed in the US. USPTO says that "almost anything" can be trademarked so long as it indicates the source of your goods and services.² Here's a list of some other trademarks:⁴
Barbie Pink (Mattel)
The word "face" (Facebook)
The Zippo click (Zippo)
Guy Fieri's name (Guy Fieri)
The term "superhero" (DC and Marvel)
Darth Vader's breathing (Lucasfilm)
Law & Order's dunDUN (NBCUniversal Media)
It is not within the scope of this guide to discuss trademark law, but yes, you can trademark crystals. You can trademark damn near anything else as long as you can provide a reason why it should be.
And I want to note that you do not need to register for a trademark in the US.⁶ This is important because it means that even if the product name has a trademark symbol, you may be unable to find a registered trademark and thus, the company that owns it. However, most entities with trademarks love plastering them on everything, and I've found success with Googling trademarked names to find them.
Why Should I Care?
Because you flat out shouldn't buy trademarked crystals and you should be wary of alternate names. Why? Simple: trademarks cost more for a product you can get elsewhere cheaper, and alternate names can be used the same way. Let's make a comparison.
Let's compare prices between this listing for "Amazez™ Altar Stone" and a listing on Etsy for the common name of "chevron amethyst." I am not endorsing this seller or product. This is for the sake of comparison.
Using the 6-9oz (approx. 170-255g) option, the "chevron amethyst" works out to about 0.05-0.08$/g. "Amazez Altar Stone" works out to be about 2.00$/g. That is twenty-five times as much for a similar product. A little deviation over or under is to be expected, but twenty-five times deviation? Hell, you can get more product cheaper.
Similarly, there's the issue of alternate names. Turquenite for example. If you google the term, you'll see beautiful turquoise-blue stones. Here's the issue: this is dyed howlite or magnesite and NOT something similar to genuine turquoise.⁷ "Turquenite" is not a natural crystal; the name is used to trick people into selling crystals that aren't what they are and an excuse to charge more fo them.
Lists of Trademarks and Alternate Names
So, what names should you be avoiding? I cannot provide an exhaustive list, nor would it be wieldy for me to post them here, but I have made a massive list of crystal names from compiling a few different listings. Click here for it.
Turquenite was a bit of foreshadowing for the next part, where I cover wholly fake crystals. See you in a week!

carnelian, emerald & howlite (for madam lan)
carnelian : do they like being alone?
" at first no. it made me very anxious, having so much time, and so little to do with it. but as the years passed by, and after the birth of xichen-- it got much easier. then wangji was born...and it made my days that much brighter. i looked forward to seeing my boys. i saw every day without them as a stepping stone, until our designated day came, and they were mine for the day. "
emerald : what are their pet peeves?
" well...i am not fond of excessive neatness. my rooms are clean mind you, but theyre not as perfectly organized as you'd expect of a lan household. " she pauses and makes a face. " and i regret to say this but...speaking of my sons and their studies with their uncle... " brows furrowed. " i do not enjoy hearing it. is it selfish of me? i wish better for them, more freedom, more...anything. life is not meant to be weighted down by rules, and perfection. my boys do not have to be so, they can have flaws and enjoy them. "
howlite : what motivates them?
" before my...imprisonment, it was myself. my improvement, and growing as a cultivator and a person. after my boys were born...it was them. both of them are my everything, my reason for living. they helped me find peace in my unfortunate imprisonment, and have learned to enjoy every day despite it all. "

Cordage magic
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also wanted to throw this one out there, it is a ritual cord focused on self-improvement and healing.
There's also a howlite needle on the end to help tie and untie knots.
This is a double twist, each twist made from nine wool strands.
The wool is from a local Ontario sheep farm.
The stitching that binds the needle to the cord is sealed with beeswax.
Designed for upwards of three knots to be tied into the cord.

The earrings above have similar stones wirewrapped to hang in front of hammered sterling silver metal. The pendant on the right is a stack of howlite beads wtih sterling silver.

Newest in my Gold Collection, Hekate
The Goddess Hekate is the goddess of Magic, Necromancy, Ghost and Witchcraft. She assisted Demeter in the search of Persephone. She is the torch bearing, liminal goddess of the in between and keeper of the keys to the heavens, the earth and the underworld. But did you know she’s also connected to the sun via her connection to Helios?
This piece is made with 8mm garnet, 6mm onyx and 8mm Howlite skull beads. The bracelet is about 7 inches with 1 inch extension.
If you love this design check out some of the other Hekate jewelry I have:
