Seems like a perfect chance to stretch and get those bidding reflexes back in fighting shape!

Blue tiny resin bottle earrings with labels that say De-icer, concentrated. They’re on a yellow backing card that says be gay do non-election crimes with a drawing of a screaming possum.

Two small wooden boxes holding bagged sets of carded earrings. One set is on yellow cards and styled to look like tiny bottles of de-icer. The other box holds purple carded sets that look like tiny rainbow desserts in cups and bowls.

Find ways to funnel your anger into things that help, whatever that looks like for you. I’ve been spite-crafting things for the @romancingthevote.com auction coming up in July, which will be the only way to get your hands on these particular shinies. Democracy possum screm! #art #miniatures #jewelry

Two pride flags for democracy completed! Want one? Follow @romancingthevote.com for auction news and updates. These and many amazing items will be available as we try to shore up voting rights in the US.

Ten pairs of tiny bottles filled with deep blue slightly sparkly resin and labeled De-Icer, ready to be made into earrings.

Finished packing up all the parfait and drink earrings for @romancingthevote.com aaaand an idea for a different set hit me. Dug through my stash and found some more wires so I could make tiny de-icer bottle earrings. Because ice is incompatible with democracy. #art #miniature #jewelry

A wire display hung with an absolute mess of earrings in trans parfait colors and layered rainbow drink glasses an bottles. Three pendant necklaces with more rainbow confections lay on a lower shelf.

I make stuff when I need my brain to chill out. I’ve needed that a lot lately. All of these shinies are destined for @romancingthevote.com auction in July! And I might make more. #art #miniature #jewelry

if there's one thing that is on brand for us, it's getting sidetracked from the one runaway idea we started without realizing what we were getting into by another runaway idea we started without realizing what we were getting into.

here at RTV we believe in moderation in no things.

If you or someone you know needs whistles, please check out linktr.ee/3Dwhistles Click on the email address at the top and submit a request, we'll send out between 100 and 1000 whistles to you for free.

If you want to support us, there is a GFM & wishlists to buy our printers filament! 💓

Hey folks! We were planning to have the new site launched, but we got distracted by switching over our attention to 3D printing whistles to send across the country.

Please block out early July in your calendars, however, and start your evil planning. We'll be announcing more details soon! 💓

these are so violently cute, also next week I will hopefully be launching the new @romancingthevote.com website & sending out our first email with our official dates for 2026 and the warning for crafters to start their engines! <3

(obviously Zan is on our discord so engines start early there LOL)

You should be able to!!!!

I’ve loudly talked about how making stuff for @romancingthevote.com and other charitable auctions fills a lot of my time and it really really helps. Money for important orgs and I get to make wild things for appreciative people. Like this bag set I just finished!

Miniskeins and Auction Prep I never really got onto the miniskein train when that hit a few years ago. I watched in fascination as knitting friends traded, looked for s...

Me, brandishing a bag full of 1,000 hinges: Would an unhinged person have *THIS*

In the 18 months since the last auction, both @courtneymilan.com and @mostlybree.kitrocha.com have acquired 3D printers, and I'm sure we're going to be totally normal and not at all unhinged with the powers this gives us.

Hey y'all, we've updated our username to @romancingthevote.com because we're OFFICIALLY us! 💓

we do get the best quilts every year!!!

I’m ready for battle!

the quilt wars are already beginning...

oooooh we will have to think about this! but when the time comes, we will be trying to hook up creators with sponsors who can cover shipping, etc, again!

I am good at SQL but CSS makes me sob. 🤣 Fortunately we have a CSS fiend on hand!

Thank you so much!!! We have a front end designer on tap right now but I will save this so I can come find you if we need another one! <3

I have no idea who he is but this is the perfect gif and it came up under "stretch" so. LOL I hope he's not like a serial killer or something ?!?!?

Also our website may vanish for a bit, because now that we've done this 3 times and are clearly not stopping, I've decided I should do something other than a website I built in the file manager in html on zero sleep. 💃
