hey friends - my computer has been acting up and is now on its last legs. if you've been meaning to pick up some dice, I have a handful from the last drop now on sale to try to help offset new computer $. separately, I'm working through the polishing pile and hope to have some new stuff soon!

mint, since my mint plant is fighting for control of my garden with the salvia

mint green with holo foil, fresh pull, wip. these are big sheets of foil, which led to some trapped bubbles that I quite like and are small enough not to affect how they roll

test is delayed, turns out knowing everything that could happen in the human body from conception to death on a molecular level is hard?? anyway part of the delay is that I can take a little breather and then refocus, so perhaps we'll see some polishing happen soon.
hi hello! I am alive! I will be mia for the rest of the month due to this whole becoming a doctor thing. I haven't forgotten about my giveaway (it's ready to polish and ink!), just no time. I miss y'all and will return asap, just have to pass step 1 of the US medical licensing exam, nbd...

oh this suddenly happened! well, I'm SWAMPED at school for the next couple of weeks, so it'll be a little bit delayed...if y'all can get me to 1k before I'm ready I'll do a double giveaway
bsky is really blowing up lately - I'm so excited to see so many of you here! I'm still (slowly) making dice and hope to polish some this week so I can have a very belated shop update. medical school is going great, also! I'd like to do a giveaway when I hit 500 followers, so...bring your friends 💜

these are the only set left from the last restock and frankly I've never poured a more valentine's day themed set, if you're looking for something sparkly to give your romance partner
Unicorn Hair - matching set to the chonk. clear resin with lots of silver holo threads and coral pink UV reactive mica, inked in silver

okay I'm deeply annoyed with big cartel again and considering moving my shop. I'm very small and don't sell a ton, and frankly kinda hate the duopoly of squarespace and shopify, but it might be time. ughhhhhhhhhhhh. if kofi included integration on your own host that would be ideal. suggestions?

watermelon, though not on purpose - I really thought the glitter was going to do a more defined bloop here but instead it dispersed. still like them!

red (almost pink) transparent resin with red/black flaky glitter and red/gold shift glitter, wip.
January 20, 2025 at 9:03 PM
can you believe this is still not sold?? me neither!
Mirrored Music Box - absurdly sparkly. pale grey resin with silver holo flaky glitter around a liquid core with more of the same glitter inside, inked in silver

and sometimes you have your own space and mailing list (that you have to have found my site to join anyway) and then the mailing list host folds and then what? social media is critical to the mild success I've had, because it's a place people can consistently see my stuff!
This had been what's bothered me so much about the "just have your own space!" advice, especially in recent days.

You *should* have your own site but someone has to know your space exists to visit.

To ignore social media's role in that is to ignore the habits of people & their content consumption.
On the one hand, I’m appreciating all the conversations about the turning point in social media, and that more people are quitting for more generative spaces like blogs and newsletters. On the other hand, that only works if you have an audience (often built on social media) to follow you there.
