I started moving into my very first artist's studio at the Charlotte Makerspace today. If you're in the area check it out for craft classes or a membership. They have LOTS of cool hobbies - 3D printing, fiber arts, welding, a woodshop, pottery studio, and glass lab.

My first attempt at a stained glass bolo tie with attached collar chains. This one has a moon, iridescent clouds, little golden stars, and a pearlescent braided leather cord. 🌕☁️✨

This suncatcher is made with buttons sandwiched between stained glass. It's a little chunky but I kinda love it. What do y'all think?

Stained glass mini mushrooms. Maybe I'll bring these to the pride events I'm vending at this year?

I learned how to use the Makerspace's ring saw yesterday. This is my practice piece foiled and ready to solder.
