First weekend of yuletide today! The secret to outdoor shows in the winter is layers. You can't tell, but I'm wearing 5 layers up top and 4 below, plus I have toe warmers tucked in between my fleece lined tights and my wool socks ;)

It's nearly impossible to capture the depth of color on this one, it may be my favorite piece that I've ever made

New silver pendants! I'm over the moon with how the enamel pieces turned out this time, and I can't wait to do more! I really want to try mastering opaque evaluations enamel on bronze to be able to provide more colorful pieces at a more approachable price point next year

Very *very* small amount of silver going in before yuletide! Left will be sterling, right will be fine, to be enameled tomorrow :)

Forbidden jello jiggler!
Spooling up the kiln for a glass run. I am... very burnt out from Ren Fest and, y'know -gestures at the state of things- but I'm doing my best!
Doesn't help that my new kiln is out of commission until I replace a corroded coupling. Can things stop happening please T_T

They're a lot of fun! Most of ours are from maniology. They make special high pigment stamping polish for them, but I just use my uv gels since they're pretty high pigment :3 I recommend putting down a matte topcoat to stamp on, it'll stick better, then gloss over that 💜

OMG thank you!! ❤️😭 I really enjoy doing nail art, so that means a lot!!! This was a fun experiment with stamp plates :3 It's hard to photograph but the color is a translucent color shift bc I am a sucker for chromes & color shifts.

Concurred! I didn't think I could get one but when I rolled up the lady was like "we have the pie, you want one? I know what my regulars like" and she was correct I did want the pie

First run without spending any skill points until the end, this feels like a biblical level of greed.

Niche hobby posting hours. Rice Shower is famously /very/ difficult to train and win with, to the point of being known as the "newbie breaker"
While her stats aren't the *most* amazing but I'm pretty happy to have finally notched a win for my favorite girl! Chuckled at the ABCDE stat line, too 🤣

Before and after! Every time we're packing up, someone asks in disbelief:
"That all goes in your car?"
It sure does! Not a square inch of space left after, but the Fit fits it!

All finished! I used a very fine needle file to bring the solder joint down and match the original design, and then polished it til it shone like new 🎊

Had the privilege of repairing this bangle for a fellow vendor and good friend this week. Originally forged by her grandfather, an accomplished silversmith, it broke many years ago.
A simple fix! We also used gold solder, so the original break can still be seen, and cherished, by its owner.

As we get closer to the end of the season, the dark comes sooner, which makes for some AMAZING booth photos

Yesterday was my 40th birthday! Much to my preference, I spent it in the company of good friends, having fine food and the most beautiful cake I've ever had for a birthday.
