Creator, crafter, designer, painter, and gamer. Welcome to the main hub of NecroCreations! I am self-trained and always perfecting. Want something for yourself?
I am Jen a.k.a 'Necro', an artist and maker that beads, crafts, and paint who gravitates towards and appreciates the unusual, obscure, and macabre. What started as fun when I was a kid now turned into a passion to which I hope to share the little things I make, create, design, and craft. What I do: Beading, Re-paint, Re-sculpt, Traditional Painting, Sculpting, Resin. When I am not making, I am gam
ing under the name NecrolyteSol, "Necro" for short. With beading, I enjoy playing around with different ingredients, but hopefully one day I can be the one that makes the ingredients. Until then, I put everything together to wear myself and replicated/duplicated to share with others. Most designs have inspirations originating from animals, mythology, pop culture, world culture, emotions, and nature. My main gallery for Necro's Creations is here: https://www.deviantart.com/necrolytesoul/gallery

::::MY STORY::::
~In The Beginning...
...there were plastic beads.~
It all started one day at my mother's kitchen table In New York about 30+ years ago. Around the age of 8, I remember working with a limited selection of beads, mainly plastic, with stretch cord. Sometimes, I would take whatever I made apart and make something different, something better. It would be years later after I moved to Florida that I continued with Lisa Frank's brightly colored beads. At my first year at summer camp in Florida before 6th grade I discovered seed beads. From there I bought my own collection and started playing around with them, but nothing really serious.
~A Spark~
Fast-forward to 2007 and over a decade of a creative hiatus, I remember a friend re-introducing me to beading with her own collection of glass, crystal, and pewter beads or various sizes and colors. "I did this when I was a kid," I remembered. I helped her with the design of some of her own creations and even let me create some of my own. It wasn't until beading with her did I not only remember how much I enjoyed it, but I realized I had an eye for design. Eventually, I got my own bead box with some things from here and there to join her. I started making more things with the old collection of seed beads I had. I had an eye for design, but not so much the ex*****on. I wanted to get better. I start getting critical of all the costume jewelry I had and all the over-priced, mass-produced, cheaply-made costume jewelry out there that had a good idea going, but was executed really poorly, having a short 'lifespan" before it started falling apart or just looking bad. I knew I could do better, or at least make it to last. This was when I designed to either make my own jewelry or add my own flair to what was out there. I started doing this for fun, I continued it because it was fun, and it will continue to be fun for me. I want to share what I make, and if you want a physical copy of what I share, then here I am! Things to note:

~If you should have a name for specific designs, don't be a stranger and feel free to throw in your thoughts and ideas!
~The fishhook-style earrings are made by me to hang under the earlobe to promote better balance of dangles and drops. Don't like fishhooks? No problem. Clasps and ear findings are customizable and not everything you see is set in stone.
~Findings are being switched over to stainless steel or precious metals as the original plated findings deteriorates depending on quality and it not reliable long-term. Thanks to much for taking the time to read and explore!
