Introducing Myself
Hello fellow 7 Cups users,
I finally found it fit to try a threat and introduce myself! I go by Emery, and fall into a variable number of groups that this app supports, including but not limited to being autistic, depressed, anxious, etc.. Basically, the normal things for a person my age to be.
In spite of what I struggle with, I still try to be a positive influence/sunny spot for others, and am always open for an interesting conversation or debate. I will warn that my tone through messages may not come off perfectly, as I have been unable to drop my penchant for proper grammar and (sometimes) strange use of phrasing.
A few things I enjoy aside from being there for/with other people are jewelry work, drawing, beta-reading and editing, and viewing or experiencing other peoples’ creative endeavors!
@Liminally Welcome Emery!
Sounds like tge Hobby Zone community may be something you're interested in as well.
I've never heard the phrase beta-reading, although it makes sense considering authors often acknowledge people who give feedback or for doing a read through.
@Liminally Welcome Emery! 💗 It's lovely to have you with us 🥰 I hope you have an amazing time here 🍀 You're not alone, and you genuinely matter 💜 Sending lots of love your way 🐾💕
@sadcat13 beta-reads too! <3

i also like jewelry work. What do you make?
I make all sorts of things, but I mostly center around bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and keychains! For some more context on what that looks like for me, I use both bought materials (8mm citrine, 2mm garnet, 4mm apatite—and all sorts of other sizes, types, and shapes) alongside self-found or self-made materials (shells from a beach vacation, other antique jewelry pieces that need a new life, etc.).
One of my most recent pieces I found pride in was a seed bead and peach pearl necklace that I traded to another artist for one of their own creations (they up-cycle stuffed animals and add new, entirely different faces to them!). The main feature of this necklace aside from the pearls/seed beads was a navy blue shell that I drilled a hole through and wire wrapped in silver.
I’ve found lots of interest through pattern building, and also bonded with my mom and grandma by working with them to make and sell our products locally!
Just realized I forgot to add asking about what you make to the end of my post like I wanted to. 😅
Feel free to go into depth or keep it simple—whatever’s your style—but I love my fellow hobbyists and would be thrilled to hear about your work as well!
