As many of you know - this year my creative baby - GGX - celebrates 16 years in the biz. Itās been a whirlwind full of highs, lows, transitions, growthā¦all the things! Iāve been celebrated, interviewed, published, a RAW Artists Collaborative featured artist over a dozen times, and shut down my fave outdoor market before it disappeared into thin air (RIP )
In short, Iāve got nothing to prove. Iāve given many years of blood, sweat, tears, and bodily injury to my craft. And Iām tired. The anniversary box - while a true labor of love - really challenged me on the creative side due to the physical health side. (IIH & Endometriosis are theee worstttt, Burr. š¤š)
And in light of the many other things going on with my health, career, and education - Iāve decided that Iām closing the door on what GGX āwasā.
My grind time is O.V.E.R. and Iāve made peace with it. I actually welcome it!
The Etsy shop is on vacation until further notice (but will stock with the things I create when Iām up to it). Iām not taking any *new* custom order clientsā¦but for my OG folks, if you need something, reach out. If Iām able to accommodate, I will. If I canāt, Iāll happily refer you to another reputable artist. The GGX Creates shop will remain open for those truly interested in learning the craft of wire work magic (http://www.ggxcreates.com).
This is me setting my self free. To do other things that Iām passionate about and bring me joyā¦and healing.
Iām truly grateful for those who have supported, loved, and encouraged over all these years. I couldnāt have kept this up for so long without you.
SO WE CELEBRATING these 16 years!
For those that got the Anniversary box - you should have it by Tuesday AND Iāll āseeā you next Saturday. If you werenāt able to grab the box-but would like to give a love offeringā¦Iād love that! $ggx4ever.
P.S. P.S. For those who are new here and/or have not followed since I started my journey as just plain āGGX Jewelsā - my ORIGINAL designs of greatness as I was developing my style can be found here!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. Hereās to many more years of whatever is next! š„š¾
