I don't discount my creations very often, but because this lovely beaded bracelet was finished just in time for Black Friday, I couldn't resist! This may actually be one of my favorite bracelets to date. Seriously, don't miss this one, y'all 🥰! Link/info in the comments ⬇️.

OK, hear me out lol💡... Seriously, replacing Cyber Monday with Micro Biz Monday is such a great idea! What do you say, all? Can we do it 👀?? Y'all know the drill: shop, repost with your own info, and SHARE! It's way past time for the little guys to take back our economy ✊!

Started this beaded bracelet a while ago, but it was put on the back burner when I began autumn and winter projects. Now, I couldn't resist digging it out of the WIP/UFO pile to finish. It's too pretty to forget about 😜. Every color 'cept the gold has an iridescent finish that really makes it pop 🤩!

Here's the full pan-over video of the painting I shared the other night 🙌. I'm still not sure how to feel about the composition. It just looks weird to me lol 😂.

In other news, I apologize for the funky color changes. Apparently 🤳+ violet = 👎😅.

It's always a good feeling when I get to send something I've made to its new home. Yesterday, this set of fluid art magnets began their journey to California! Shout-out to another wonderful customer for shopping small 🤗.

A set of four circular, one-inch magnets. They're primarily shades of blue with swirls of silver, green, yellow and shades of purple. They were made using glass cabochons that have been dipped in wet fluid art (a type of abstract painting).

I spent the night playing around in the paint room and ended up doing some odd blowouts using paints mixed with different recipes (because why not lol 🤷‍♀️). The result was this weird combo of lacing and cells. Whether or not I like it is TBD lol 😜.

Mandatory Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis photo taken from my backyard in the far north valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico 😜. FYI, that is not a sentence I thought I would ever be using, let alone seriously 😂.
The New Mexico version of the Northern Lights, the middle of the usually blue night sky is pink with a hint of green that can be seen through the trees in the bottom left corner.

My creative muse seems to have taken a smoke break so I've been working on this loom beaded hatband just because. I haven't loomed since discovering square stitch, but then I learned how to do so without having to tie ends 🤯. NGL, I'm very glad I don't have to square stitch 22" of beadwork 😅.
My current beadwork, still on the bead loom. It's a simple geometric pattern in shades of purple and lined with gold.

Since I'm still recovering from Friday's market (thank you, chronic illness 🤧), please enjoy a video from Balloon Fiesta 2025. And excuse the ending lol 😜. My maternal unit missed the memo about no talkie during video recordings 😅.

Welp, thanks to the weather (report) yesterday's market ended up being far smaller than expected 🙃, but we still had a nice time ☺️. I made a few sales (woot woot 🙌!) and had a lovely chat with the folks from Hansen Pharms 🌿🔥🌬️ (www.hansenpharms.com). Overall, a good evening! Now, to recharge 😜.

Hey Albuquerque, don't forget to visit me at VICE Cannabis tomorrow 😄! I'll be there with a little bit of everything I create (fluid art, beadwork, and crochet), and you'll also have upwards of ten other vendors to check out as well! C'mon y'all, let's support and shop local🤘😎! #abqevents #burque

It's been a lovely example of an autumn afternoon in Albuquerque. Clear blue skies with a pleasant breeze carrying birdsong and the aroma of roasting chile 🤤. Not to mention it was also a great day for finishing some fluid art paintings and ornaments 🤗!

Multiple trays of fluid art ornaments laid across a tarped table. Each one is protected by a mesh cover to keep bugs and dirt off while they dry. In the background, an air can and can of gloss varnish are also visible.
