In lieu of the cancelled market this weekend, I'm going to do a live jewelry sale streaming event featuring my work.
I'm working hard on finishing new rings and maybe some stamped cuffs.
Please join me if you can and share my announcement if you could.

"The sunrise and my heart saw your smile as I woke from a deep slumber.
I turned to you and said "Let me make you a spam and eggs breakfast my beautiful wonder."
I sprung into action like a 20-something in a new love summer.
Your eyes followed my joyful march into the kitchen."
Be My Valumtimez!

Resistance Reading of the Day:
This same "conquest" game has been played over and over and over all over the world.
Just look at the displaced and those currently in process to be displaced.
Governments are super corrupt arms of capitalism.

And finished. Had hoped to deliver this serving set to the Boston area to my customer but that didn't work out unfortunately.
These will go out soon to their new caretaker.
I'm happy with my second ever set of silverware.
Goodnight.

Got some Kingman Birdseye turquoise out for a customer. One of my favorite things to do with a customer is to select a stone for their next piece.

And this Corn themed cuff is finished.
Beautiful center turquoise resembling our Earth Mother.
Corn has sustained our NDN relatives since long before Columbus. Long before the colonizer fiction of a land bridge migration.
Imagining a time that was pre-industrial, pre-occupation, and pristine.

Looking cool. Corn around the world. Building this cuff for an environmental justice warrior who's in their later years.
I'm honored when I get to make such significant pieces for those who protect our Mother.
