Well... it's time. My hair has become way too heavy. It's time for a trim. I had to quit wearing my jewelry because of the added weight, and I miss it. 😩 #longhair #longlocs #longdreadlocks #gulfofmexico #beach

One of my polished brass hair jewelry designs. These are compact and intricate, but I love a good challenge. #hairjewelry #locs #dreadlocks #braids #brassjewelry #heatherfish

I finally finished this Arkansas quartz torque necklace. 12+ hours and a few blisters later, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.🤘 Available on my website: heatherfish.com

This is the branch structure of my Spiny Black Olive #bonsai tree. I removed a major limb to correct a bar branch flaw, and it is a wonderful example of the natural way this tree grows... like a geometric pattern. I felt compelled to share. 💚

I worked on my #windswept #literati #bonsai today. I'm bad at this style, so I made this tree initially to try and improve my skills. This is its second major styling. Not a terrible start...

My bougainvillea bonsai. No styling work so far. I rescued it after a hurricane 3 years ago, & it had zero good roots. I have been waiting for it to gain strength & vigor. Outside of some needed carving & a potting angle change, I'm torn about next steps for styling. My greatest challenge so far.

Commisioned set of #Norse #dreadlockbeads
Elements include Baltic amber, hessonite garnet, antler, & jeweler's brass. My goal with this set was to explore and strike a balance between new & old techniques. The brass elements are raw & unsealed, just as they would have been in the bronze age.

A beautiful, quality little #bonsaipot by @brambledragon.bsky.social
It's a relatively young tree, so it needs more work & growth time, but this pot is perfect for it... especially when it blooms with little cream/white flowers in the spring. This little dude is part of my permanent collection. 💚

Yay! I've been looking for the perfect pot for this little tree! It puts out little white flowers, so your pot works perfectly. Thank you!

Bench update! All my small #bonsai trees received maintenance and hair cuts today. Some are looking rather naked, but they will recover. I'm going to look for some proper pots for a few of them soon.

Another of my #parsoniijuniper #bonsai trees. I let berries grow on it this year while it takes a break from wire. In the spring, it will get a different potting angle and wirework.

I don't know how Bluesky became the social media I post all my bonsai content to, but why not? The #bonsai community here is so great. :) I've been working on a Bonsai showcase area in the garden recently. Will update when done. :)

Some more new hair jewelry designs are available in my stores! These dudes went through nearly a year of wear-testing. I'm pleased with the results. The clear coat holds up nicely.

Good morning from Florida! Everyone got their spring haircuts yesterday. I still have a lot of wiring to do. #bonsai #springtime

Did some major bend work on this parsonii juniper pre-bonsai... Apparently, I'm a masochist and like working with as many challenging species as possible. 🤷♀️

Despite being weakened by a sudden scale and fungal infection this year, this little Christmas Cactus in my garden is showing off in a grand way. It is recovering nicely.

Years ago, when I used to do nails, a woman walked into the salon with these earrings on. I complimented them. She took them off and just gave them to me. She wouldn't entertain refusal. I never met her again. She was a kind soul and I have treasured them since. I wonder where she is now...

I'm modeling one of my copper metal hair cuff designs. My birds-nest fern(to the right) is three times that size now. I can't believe how small it is in this photo.

Cape Honeysuckle #bonsai (bright orange flowers). Grown in nusery pot for 3 years to thicken trunk. Left some redundant branches & wired for protection. Hoping for back budding.The pot was one I had laying around. Will definitely put it in a better one at some point. Good potential in 10+ years.

Brought my trees inside due to a cold snap, so I did a little minor work on this variegated schefflera during a work break. It needs a bit of repositioning, but since this is only its first year in a pot, I'm going to wait for a more established root system before I stress it any further. #bonsai

Whoever said mixing metal tones is bad was boring. 😝 Side note, I much prefer the aluminum pronunciation of "allowminium". It just flows better. But, if I walk around saying that here in the States, folks think I'm mental. haha.
