Art Therapy in Ukraine

Happy Sunday to all of you!

I wanted to share some photos from the art therapy class I taught at an orphanage here in Kiev, Ukraine. I will be heading back to the States in December, until then I am volunteering at an orphanage teaching English, art therapy, and playing mom to rowdy boys :) The shop will open again soon!

For Art Therapy I made felt brooches with the kids complete with lots of glitter, the best therapy for tweens? GLITTER!!!

Glitter on our faces!!

All of the women wear funky heels, and I love it!

What's new?

It has been over a year since Jade Rose Designs last put out a line of accessories, in this time there have been lots of changes in the life of the designer! With her current focus on her new volunteer position with the non profit Justice ACTs International, the focus of Jade Rose Designs as a company has shifted to second, third and sometimes last place.

My designs will now be created for the sole purpose of funding my volunteer work fighting human trafficking internationally. I have started an international blog that you can follow to stay updated on my work.
I have finally cleared off my crafting tables and I'm ready to get back to work. Thank you to my friends and family and my customers for your patience and encouragement. It's a new chapter in my life and I'm excited to share it with all of you, whether through crazy international adventures or through the creative process of an accessory.

With that said, you can plan to start seeing more of me on here. The photo below was for a roaring 20's concept shoot. Hair accessory: Jade Rose Designs.

Long time no talk! Sorry for the lack of posting, between moving and the Holidays, the blog has been ignored. New developments for Jade and Jade Rose {Designs}. So much to figure out but I am super excited to get to share with you information as it unfolds. A journey is beginning and this blog will be the way to follow the journey of my business and work I will be doing! I can't share yet, but here is a sneak peak of what's to come!
