After loads of cutting, forming, shaping, soldering, sawing, filing, and polishing … the summer berry 🍓 drop is ready.

These pieces are vintage European glass in either copper on silk or nickel on steel.

Berries are on my bench and should be ready to pick soon! 🙌🍓

Earrings, pendants, and bag charms are coming next week.

Finishing touches on Nostalgia for Weirdos are underway! This update isn’t about fine gems, it’s about being of a certain age and remembering everything that was awesome about growing up in the 80s and 90s.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 I’m celebrating with a sneak peek at upcycled pieces from next month’s shop update. They are vintage tin globes, sawed in half, ready to become pendants. 🙌

I’m no longer a practicing Christian. But I remember believing in a higher power - and feeling like miracles were possible.

I keep sharing art when I’m stressed and scared because if it makes me feel better, it might make you feel better too. 💔❤️‍🩹🤗

Spring is almost here and I’m celebrating with a couple of folklore and animism-inspired pendants. Both are porcelain in hand-fabricated brass.

I know most posts are about politics right now. And they should be. But I keep doing my thing to give myself, and you, a break from the Darkest Timeline. I hope you enjoy hearing about my books! 📚

My new “read banned books” 📚 shirt from @threeraccoonsstudio arrived in time for Freedom to Read week! 🙌 So I thought I would be fun to find books from the print in my library. Read and exercise your intellectual freedom! 💪

If you don’t know me IRL, this may be the first time you’ve seen me talking.😆 But I’m excited about these books and I would love a few fresh reviews. If you’re an ARC reader and soft sci-fi is your jam, message me for epubs.

Do you need a break from the Darkest Timeline this Valentine’s Day? Me too. So, I’m eating and sharing gummy bears. One for me, one for you! Happy Friday! ✌️🫶

Valentines vibes for Coppertone Caligula. Canada 🇨🇦 is not available. Not interested. Hard pass.

First custom of the year is heading out the door. More candy (and fiction pairings!) are coming soon, so it’s time to get back to work.

What are you working on this month? Exciting resolutions? New art? Tell me what you’re up to this year.
