I did a thing today. I’ve had a small tattoo I’ve wanted covered for a LONG time and I’d saved and planned and the day arrived. Stage One is complete. Color will be added soon. @mrartistpainterman is the artist that designed and tattooed this beautiful tree and I cannot wait to show off the finished product. This guy is good, y’all. @sacred_soul_collective is a beautiful studio and the artists are super nice and it was a great experience. Except for when it hurt kinda bad and I made some kinda loud noises. Totally worth it. Thank you Gordon! You’re the shit man. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEaih4fh1iy/?igshid=1jeh5kwd1w689

I recently finished a custom order for some paper bead earrings. These were a special gift for special friends as bridesmaids in a wedding. The bride wrote a sweet message on hand-picked paper for each recipient and I got to turn them into wearable love. Thank you for the opportunity @ladylotus26 to make these for you! This has been my most favorite custom order. #handmade #handmadejewelry #paperbeads #paperbeadjewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_y5QcBJUD/?igshid=1u4kt6cgrzygh

Y’all wanna hear something gross I did for art? Lulu ate a cicada and barfed it. on the floor. The big wings were perfectly intact so I used my jewelry tweezers to pull them out of the puke. They are had a nice soak in some warm water with dish soap and now air drying. These guys will probably become earrings. What’s the grossest thing you’ve done for art? #art #thethingsyoudo #gross #makinstuff https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj2BBDhhSc/?igshid=ir4va1toogga

Two new items up in the shop FINALLY. This time off has afforded me more time to be creative, finish things I started some time ago and get items ready for the shop. These are the first two. I have more moons in the process of being cleaned up and given a chain. Some of the pieces I started over the winter had some patina issues even though I sealed them, so I’ve re-patina’d, gave them a better sealant, finding chains and leather for the larger pieces. I’ll post updates as I move along in the process. #handmade #handmadejewelry #brass #patina #metalstamping #shoplinkinprofile⬆️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKSly-hNbW/?igshid=oe17ktqcidrr

Also, some shots of the yard cause i know you want to see my favorite things out there right now. #makingmasks #gooutside #inthebackyard https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJOBxNhS2R/?igshid=qe2qyvhe3bv0

Today I went out to clean up a long neglected flower bed and met this guy. He got a quick photo shoot then I said bye. Came back later after watering and he was poking his head out of his hidey hole. This bed may stay neglected. I know he’s (or she, whatever) harmless and beneficial. I don’t spray chemicals so he can safely live there. Just not sure I want to dig where he lives. #gooutside #snakesintheyard #creaturesunday https://www.instagram.com/p/CABw7dchRFo/?igshid=xt3mvnrys105
