Gah! You described my situation exactly. I'm getting the same kind of toxic positivity from my parents. My "day job" is federally funded. Their pivots to talking about "bright sides" is killing me. They don't see the big picture, nor do they see their role in it. I'm so sorry.

Fourth! Also, consider a trip to Whidbey Island. You can ferry over from Seattle, spend some time on the island, and then take a different ferry over to the Olympic Peninsula. Best of all worlds with less travel time.

Thank you! It's very satisfying! Super fun to reveal what happens with the rusty bits after 24 hours of "rusting" on the fabric.

Excellent! My parents are here and I always make it a point to try to go to the miner's co-op part of the gem show. Also trying to soak up as much sun as possible before heading back to WA.

I'm in Oracle, AZ off and on for the next few weeks. So I might be able come down for the ArtWalk! 🥳

Amazing work! Any chance you'll be staffing the gallery again soon?

Thank you!

I'd love to be added! Thanks for putting this together! 💕 FYI I'm not able to direct message you, you appear grayed out when I try.
