New on the bench (or kitchen table) a monogram signet ring with some family crest detailing on the sides. I’ve learned a LOT while 3D modeling over the past few months and after some adjustments to the file, this ring is ready for a test fit before it’s off to casting!

The Heritage Foundation wants to know if YOU support what DOGE is doing.

They have some questions:

Do you support $280,000 for “diverse” bird watcher groups?

Do you believe DOGE will be an effective tool for eliminating excessive government spending?

And more!

Feel free to let them know!

sometimes I use a chart instead of doing the math and this time it definitely wasn’t worth the 5 minutes it saved me…🤦🏻‍♀️😂

As some of you may know, I don’t rely on selling work as my main source of income. I do, however, take custom orders. This ring is for a repeat client who wants a new, more secure and functional setting for an emerald cut ametrine. Trying out 3D modeling vs hand carving!

Are any other US makers positively STRUGGLING with the cognitive dissonance of posting & marketing their work at the same time our country is in a race with itself to total destruction? I’m also having a hard time trying to stay informed and not completely derailing my mental health. Any tips?

We have received hundreds of tips from readers. Many have helped us identify the people helping Musk, who has not been elected to any office, force out government employees and shutter federal offices. @propublica.org

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Mundane update of the day: I bought a red onion that turned out to be rotten on the inside so, for the first time in my life, I returned something to the grocery store

Day 2 of the re:Craft and Relic Winter Market day 2! Pop by booth 413 and say hi to Danielle and Rachel - we’re freshly caffeinated!

My artist collective has a sale this weekend! Please stop by and say hi if you’re in the area!

Prepping for a Winter Market this weekend and things tend to get a little chaotic on my desk AND my bench, but hey, the light box works as a landing area while I sort everything out. #disorganizedorganizedchaos

Hello world! I’m excited to have a new platform to post my in progress and finished studio works! Keeping my IG and FB for now but will be posting finished works only on BlueSky platforms going forward. #fuckmeta

Check out this ring made by Gideon Hermann! It’s entirely handcrafted, from the resin and cellophane gem to the powdercoated ring band. This piece stemmed out of a series of conceptual work that became Gideon’s BFA show.

This ring and more work will be at the re:Craft and Relic Winter Market!
