It’s not every day your husband calls and says he’s found a raccoon peeking in our basement window.

Made it out to the studio today after a couple long weeks of being sick and it felt really good. Two new rings in the works.

I love going to shows at the Lucky Liquor. Davey @ #seattleareapunks puts on some amazing shows.
Seattle!!! Sunday night’s show was amazing - we love seeing all your shining faces, slick dance moves, and realizing that many of know all the lyrics! Our 2nd show with Altar De Fey & 4th (5th??) show with Nox Novacula. First time sharing the stage with Torment in Tyranny & Eve’s Black Heart. 🎶🦇🖤

Yesterday, I dropped off my submissions for the Art-O-Mat First Friday event and it was SO hard to let this little mushroom go. Part vessel, part cutie patootie and 100% my favorite. There’s gonna be a few more of these little fun guys (fungi) created in the next few months.

I’m in love with this little cutie. Just barely over a half inch tall, it’s perfect for your tiniest treasure. Recycled silver and an onyx cabochon on top. Available March 7, 2025, through the Art-o-Mat First Friday event at Pybus Market. #art #firstfriday #silversmith

I stumbled upon, and signed up for, the “Game of Shrooms” today. It’s a collaborative art event and on June 14, 2025, people near Wenatchee, WA, will be able to search for my art and… finders, keepers! Check the link in the comments for more info. @hifructosemag.bsky.social #gameofshrooms2025

Anyone have recommendations for a company that can create custom embroidered patches from a provided image? #art #design #marketing #bandmerchandise

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

I don’t know if it’s ironic or contradictory or what but seeing a Mini Cooper zipping around town with HUGE decals of automatic pew-pews plastered all over and “FAFO” nestled in amongst the WoMD kind of threw me for a loop.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I took the FB, IG, PayPal, LinkedIn, and Google apps off of my account because I read an article about the top companies who “listen” through their apps and share that info. I figured, I’m trying to limit my social media presence, might as well make it a little easier for myself.

Whoa. Types in “Pacific Northwest” to see who/what is happening in my neck of the woods. Nothing. Types in “PNW” and gets pictures of naked men & women… did I miss something? And… there wasn’t any warning or label that I was about to see naked peen at 8am.😶

I was selected to be a part of a First Friday event which is also a fundraiser for the NCW Art Alliance. My plan is to design & create 5-10 small sculptures using recycled sterling silver, donated leather, and other found objects. #art #firstfriday #atthebench #pacificnorthwestartist

Wandered away to Portland this weekend to see my husband’s band play at The Coffin Club but squeezed in a little time at the bench today. Melted down some scraps and some “oops”, rolled it out on the mill. I’m working on some tiny vessels to put my truths in.

I had a totally different idea in mind for the two small square(ish) Carico Lake turquoise cabs but my chaotic little mind decided to pair them with a couple of Nevada Bluemoon turquoise and make some earrings. #art #silversmith #turquoise #fromthebench

Spent some time at the bench to work on this necklace. #silversmith #turquoisejewelry

Watching my niece for a little bit and Miss Rachel is on the TV singing about squishing up the baby bumblebee. Hmmm….

Cleaned off my bench so I could make stuff without losing everything.
