Ghost pipe flowers (monotropa uniflora) are one of my fav things to find in the woods and they have become one of my favorite things to sculpt in glass too. I'll be working on some more unique ghost pipe sculptures to add to my shop soon!

I made another jacket. Saw this epic holographic rainbow snakeskin fabric at Joann’s (RIP) a decade ago. Finally did it.

I make glass art to bring appreciation to often unnoticed parts of nature. This glass sculpture was inspired by russula mushrooms and fairy finger fungi. These specimens were hiding just off the beaten paths at my favorite local parks!

My Republican colleagues must take notice:

The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize.

This is pathetic.

It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

Passion project complete! Full story over on Tumblr, TLDR fabric from decades ago and procrastination were crushed by the desire to get this fashion hoodie jacket done for my dream trip to Tokyo. And it’s in Riftwing colors!! 💚

Bed yoga is now on YouTube! Please like and subscribe ❤️ I wanted to share poses that I use in my daily routine, which can be done on a bed, couch, or floor. Even if you do 1 or 2 before you get up and go to bed, you’ve done more than if you didn’t. 🧘 youtu.be/fqhVi1IazSE?...

Great work!! I’m so glad that the instructable still gets use :) Thanks so much for sharing.
@riftwingdesigns.bsky.social I used your Hooves Instructable to make these amazing hooves to finish off my faun costume. People were blown away!

I resurrected my Negasonic Teenage Warhead costume for Halloween! Was great to get out to Dupont Circle and enjoy the evening. Most folks knew it was X-Men, but one person thought it was fantastic four. 🤦 Had to give the “Deadpool” clue a few times, and sad I didn’t see one. Also found a Labubu! 😅

Halloween week costume #3 - UA high student, for Japanese class and yoga! Too fun! Having fun with the last My Hero Academia season and this was a great casual cosplay.

For Halloween week, cosplay #2 was Itadori Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen, and I went to a really fun @profsandpints.bsky.social lecture on the history of ancient terrors! (First pic by michisweets photography at Otakon 2024)

It’s spooky week! Costume #1 was a rehash of cosplay yoga at Sun and Moon as Spider-Man! Have you seen this Spidey? (Spiderman pics by MichiSweets Photography at a con years past)
