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.

It’s been a minute (or two) since I’ve done any sort of graphic design but I dusted off that part of my brain and am pretty pleased with how my design for DATURA’s next album came out. And I love seeing how a vinyl record is pressed.

I love going to shows at the Lucky Liquor. Davey @ #seattleareapunks puts on some amazing shows.

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.

Thanks! That’s good to know… we were figuring out how to get to Canada for a flu shot!

I have a Smith Little Torch and I like it a lot but I don’t really have much to compare it to. When I was in college, we used oxy acetylene and I hated it so much. So I’d recommend the little torch just because I like it but I also only do rather small scale stuff at this point.

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

Maybe the Art Alliance could share and see if we can get more artists in the NCW to participate? I’m the only one in Wenatchee. There’s an artist in Yakima but the rest in WA are Seattle.

I stumbled upon, and signed up for, the β€œGame 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

Oh… my studio is a hot mess of a space. I keep wanting to organize and make it better but I end up spending my time making stuff instead.

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

Is a collet setting different than a bezel setting?

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 β€œFAFO” nestled in amongst the WoMD kind of threw me for a loop.

Does β€œGolden 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 read an article yesterday about this asteroid that has a 2% chance of hitting the earth in like 2036 or something like that and I wondered how could we speed up that timeline and possibly direct it to a particular location on the earth while quietly letting friends and family know to get out.

I had my wedding ring made with white gold because I didn’t like the look of yellow gold. I don’t think I would do that again. I am thinking of going with platinum for my new wedding band since it’s hard to keep the white gold β€œwhite”.

This is SO interesting to me. I just recently melted a bunch of Sterling scrap and rolled it out as sheet to use again.
