Did you know the potato chip was invented in the 1850s by a chef named George Crum specifically to annoy a customer who complained that his potatoes were sliced too thin? It’s true! So let this be a reminder that great things are possible through dedication to your craft and unquenchable spite.

Another perennial favorite on the way to a dog lover in the Midwest.
This design is inspired by my rescue pup pittie mix Ellie.

Been feeling like I need a bit more protection from the craziness. So made this sterling silver hamsa 🪬 pendant, a symbol of protection & positive energy. ❤️ The negative space was oxidized to make the design pop. 🪬 Stay safe out there, kids. #handmade #handmadejewelry #hamsapendant #turquoisejewelry

Final piece (top) from my first try at glass casting. My mold cracked in the kiln so I had to do some work grinding down where the glass went wonky. Overall, not a terrible first try! #glasscasting #glassart #neverstoplearning #platypus

A few items fresh from the polishing tumbler. I'm a few weeks away from starting a new full-time job but I've been enjoying the break since leaving my old job. It's been a real privilege to just play with metal and find my creative spark again. 💥 #actuallyhandmade #handmadejewelry #smallmetalobjects

Unless you live in a Southwest focus city, why would you ever fly Southwest now? It’s rarely the cheapest fare (often the *highest* fare out of NYC), offers none of the perks (free WiFi, power outlets, partner airlines) of other airlines, no buy-on-board food, no seatback screens. It's just sad.

Lots of chatter today about @southwest.com ending their popular free bag policy. It's what made them unique amongst a sea of same. Makes me think about brand and customer experience, and which companies actually care about that anymore. 🤷🏻♀️

This one flew out the door quickly and is on its way to Tennessee! I made a few of these pendants last month to celebrate me finally adding a Monstera to my plant collection. 🥳 This was my last one but I'll soon make more. #monsteraleaf #enameling #enameljewelry #handmade #handmadejewelry

Did a hand-built clay platypus for our glass casting project. Not an exact match but I'd say it's not too bad. I love my time in the studio, no matter what I'm working on. 🥰 #maARTch #claymodel #platypus #studiotime

Took a #bonsai class with Pete from New England Bonsai Gardens, the largest bonsai nursery in the Northeast. I learned that you can bonsai any tree, including redwoods. 🤯
This arboricola will hopefully survive me & will look more like a bonsai by end of summer after its first defoliation in June.

How Fungi Move Among Us (Gift Article)
Underground fungal networks are “living algorithms” that quietly help regulate Earth’s climate. Now scientists know what makes them so efficient.

Many things are very bad. Please plan something fun for yourself. It could be a date, a day at a museum, a long hike somewhere, a visit to a favorite bakery, time with friends, ice skating, a comedy show, or a massage.
Give yourself something to look forward to. It really makes a difference.
