I'm a big fan of Jason Garrett's work, own a number of his glass pendants, and wear one every day.  I perform on stage regularly and wear a beautiful 'Tree Of Life' J-Glass.  Every single performance someone comments on the pendant I'm wearing and asks where they can get one.  Often times I'll be exiting stage and before commenting on the music, I'm being asked about the incredible pendant I'm wearing.  There's a certain special energy that radiates from Jason's work.  Once you have your own J-Glass, you'll know what I mean.  Thanks Jason!

  “I hate looking at J’s work because it is so freakin beautiful that I am compelled to support his business and I have no choice but to part with my ill gotten gains!” ~ Ira  
 
 
  It seemed to take me hours to decide which of Jay’s necklaces I wanted to buy.  There are easily 5 others that I want right now.  Watching him work on them, he puts so much time and consideration into each design.  Each one has its own charm and vibrant color.  I picked the hourglass because I just loved the design.  It was so unique.   I put mine on a silver chain so it would match my other jewelry but for a while I was using it as a keychain.  

I love the way the iridescent glass catches light and changes color.  I think my next one is going on my rearview mirror so it can constantly catch the sun. 

I get compliments on my necklace every time I wear it, and some not too subtle hints from people that want one.  I love that it is something that not everyone will have and that buying them helps support an upcoming, skilled young artist. 

I am anxiously awaiting new designs.  Excellent work Jay.

Hi Everyone!
I have been fortunate enough to witness the entire process of Jay creating his artwork firsthand, from start to finish. I can tell you that he puts a huge amount of time and effort into each design.  In addition he has tested several different versions of the pendant, for example different hangers and different types of cord. His goal is to make each piece the best quality he can with a beautiful design.  Jay pays attention to each detail of his projects. The graphics are carefully created to be precise and appealing to the eye. I am most impressed by the fact that a combination of so many mediums can produce such a beautiful piece.
Thanks for all your support!

  I am the happy owner of a couple of Whairnt's pendants.  Every time I wear one, someone notices, and wants to know where I got it.  I've got a couple of different themes.  Travelers, Happy Brigade, etc.  What makes them exceptionally cool is the fact that they not only possess a unique beauty, but since they are not "mass produced", each is unique unto itself, and a collectors item.  At least for me, and I am a guy of discriminating taste, if I do say so myself.

Hey Jason -

Mostly I wear the Howling Wolf pendant all the time. It's yellow and gorgeous, though I must also admit that I have a strong affinity for the "red" color that looks really cool, especially against black shirts. So, although I say that I wear the wolf pendant all the time, lately I've been wearing a Traveler pendant b/c I'm really diggin on the color.

It's true, too. The colors aren't quite captured accurately on WebPages. The photos look great, but the reality is better!

The thing about the wolf is, other than really blowing me away, it really attracts other people. I was just at the Farmer's Market the other day, and I had it on.  I really do wear it most all the time.

So not one, not two, not three, but four...FOUR!...separate veggie vendors commented on how much they liked it.  I did refer them all to Touch of J, just in case they were interested. But I really liked that they liked it. It's striking, this pendant, to say the least.

And it happens all the time, people commenting.

Oh, and it looks great in the dark, too. Catches the light, shimmers and glows...yup. Striking!

Cheers,
Mike
  
 
 
  Hi, my name is Phil & I'm the proud & happy owner of 3 Whairnt glass pendants. I have two Travelers (one original, & one round) & one oval with a large music note in the middle, which I wear every day. Besides being very cool looking, the main thing that drew me to his pendants was that I hadn't seen anything else quite like them before. Most of the pendants I've seen   were the swirly type glass (which is also cool). I hadn't purchased any prior to meeting Jay 2 years ago at a festival. I'm going to be purchasing at least 1-2 more in the next month or so (Merry Christmas Self!). The colors are quite vivid & stand out well against a myriad of shirt colors. I get comments all the time from people & I thank them & tell them to visit www.touchofj.com to get one of their own.

  I'm the happy owner of a handful of Touch of J glass pendants.  I added a Horning's peacock to the collection this summer.  I've also given them to family members as presents, including a dragon to my older son, a lizard to my younger son, a coyote to my father-in-law, and a dolphin to my wife.  I love seeing everyone's eyes light up when they see the pendants.  They are truly one-of-a-kind!

Whairnt!

  I bought my first Touch of J pendant as a present for my boyfriend. He's not taken it off in the last 2 years except to have the necklace on the pendant replaced with one of the "updated" necklaces by Jay -  who insisted on replacing it for free! Further, I have several pieces on my own wish-list, so I was pleasantly surprised when I received one of Jay's turtle design.. At least once a week a person who I have never before met will ask me, "Where did you get your necklace? I just have to have one!" I understand. That's how I  felt when I bought one for my boyfriend! These pendants are like no other glass artistry that   I have seen before. Think 3-D die-cut designs that are filled with thousands of brilliantly colored glass granules that reflect and sparkle, while the "border" of each design is perfectly opaque and makes one, think of a perfectly polished piece of obsidian. Now perfect that image into something tasteful and refined and you'll have a pretty good idea of what a Touch of J piece actually looks like in "real life".

By the way, I do not get paid nor do I receive free merchandise or other in-kind goods for endorsing Touch of J. I really admire Jay's design and artistic skills. Since I'm a proponent of supporting independent artists and businesses that offer great work, I'm very proud to endorse all of the artwork that is offered by Touch of J.

  HI all,

I am also a proud owner of Jay's beautiful pieces.  I wear blue dragonfly everyday for good luck.  I also have 2 travelers pieces and a Hulahoopin Space Needle. My kids also wear them and we have given them as gifts.

Each are worn proudly!  I will be adding to my collection soon!

Thanks Jay for all of your hard work!

TO WHAIRNT with love

  To all who are thinking of a Touch of J art piece:
My name is James, I've know Jay for a few years...when he told me of his desire to create his own artwork I
was 100% behind him. I got my first piece of his art at a music festival, it's a blue peacock that shimmers
and draws people right to my neck, my friend who does jewelry thought it was so nice she beaded a really
nice necklace to compliment the pendant.  I've purchased a lot of different pieces since then,
more pendants, magnets, pins...and I've given them as gifts, tokens of affection. The people who receive
these are always amazed at the colors and the beauty and the uniqueness of this artwork! If you want to
 own, or give a one of a kind piece of art...check out www.touchofj.com, you will be glad you did...

I am!

  As a proud owner of several of Jay's pendants, I have seen his work evolve over the years. Every time he has a new batch of merchandise, I'm impressed by the quality and workmanship. I always think he just can't do any better, but then he exceeds expectations yet again. His pendants are unique and beautiful and they always generate compliments from others. I just can't say enough about his products.

Hey Now,
 
Just wanted to comment on Jay's pendants and his other fine products. My kids and I wear them all the time and get comments on them where ever we go. We spend a lot of time on the festival circuit and folks ask us where they can buy such items.

So, do yourself a favor and support Jay and his products.

  Hello all.

I just want to say thank you to these people for taking the time to write some great things about my work.

It is because of these beautiful people and everyone else that I not only have dreams, but follow them.

Thank you for the inspiration.
