I am grateful?for this group. I am in the process of deschooling (since March of 2020) and find these offerings incredibly nourishing to the process. Thank you!

Roya is one of my grown-up unschooled kids. She runs a successful series of online bazaars and Larkin has been one of her vendors. Roya offers one or two young people the chance to participate in the bazaar with her support and mentoring. Larkin has been one of her young entrepreneurs. I have been overjoyed to watch her running a business but, at the same time, supporting the dreams of young people. And I own some of Larkin¡¯s wire work and I absolutely love it!

WOW. That is gorgeous.? How old is she now?
I especially liked your comment about trying to support while having so little knowledge. "Not even wearing jewelry" is telling. Clearly you neither "taught" nor "decided for her" to develop such skills.

P.S. I don't wear jewelry often but I do like to collect it. I need to visit her site.? I think the jade design is incredible.

Larkin's website is , and there's a Facebook page that we keep pretty current at
I don't know if a photo will come through, but I tried to attach a recent piece. Larkin cut and polished the cabochon from an applegate jade stone our family found and wrapped it in argentium silver. If the picture does come through, that's a slab of the raw stone in the background.
Figuring out how to support what started as a hobby has been a wild ride-- Larkin's dad and I don't even wear jewelry, let alone know anything about making it!

Jenny if you want to send photos, I'm pretty sure this group allows for that now.? I have no objection to a link to a webpage or etsy or whatever, either.
Also, when that article comes out, if there's a link so we can see, please bring that.? Success stories of unschooled kids are probably the most popular info of all unschooling time.? (And by "success" I just mean a good moment or a happy story, not defining anyone's whole life.)
