thank you so much!

Work in progress. Most of what I'm inspired to create these days is adornment for battle.

Vol. 2 maybe?

This bag contains 17 bare root Native Plants. I drove across town to pick them up today and was reminded that here in Portland, Oregon we have a strong community that cares about nature, about the environment and about human rights.
A good reminder as to why I live here.

I've been making teeny tiny batches of handmade soaps as a way of taking it easy when I'm not at my bench.. Something so beautiful about the slow, quiet process and scents that fill and linger in our home.

🩶!!

thank you. I hope so too. this is my livelihood and I feel invisible.🩶

thank you. It really feels like a marathon already or some messed up survival game. But, I'm here for it.

Ghost Forest

More of my ongoing theme this winter, Ghost Forest for tomorrow at 12pm Pacific.
Now it's time to kick my feet up for a bit of rest tonight. We need good rest if we're going to stay strong.

Conjuring with every ounce of intention I can muster.

I'm at the point where I'm actually hoping the sun or better, a supermassive black hole would just zap us into oblivion already. Anything would be better than suffering the greedy, ugly, demented wraths of these disgusting money sickness monsters.

thank you🩶

that's exactly how our Noche is with his mountains of toys.

Happy to make little things for wonderful humans like you!

Who's ready to run off into the trees with me?

My brain has been super scattered lately, and I've been hard on myself about it. Until I realized it's a trauma response.
So I'm making every effort go easy on myself and finding my focus to work whenever it happens.
Thought to share in case any of you might be experiencing something similar.

I've started a goldsmith feed, any smithies out there? Drop a comment! 🥰🩶

yet, not the most cooperative😅

This is Momo Italiano. I rescued him last summer from a very difficult situation, and now he's modeling a clawed glass heart necklace I'm working on.
I hope his mug makes at least one person smile because times are getting very, very unreal.
Dogs are Love.

I remember him from when I used to live in Arbor Lodge and shopped there. Outrageous!

Definitely! Armor + adornment is where it's at!🦾

beautiful

A deliberate meditation on love at my bench today. Yet, remaining vigilant to all the hate, fear, and chaos that continues to spiral.
