Closeup of a pair of mixed metal brass and copper earrings shaped like a leaf resting on the handle of an antique hammer. The words "make earrings with me" are at the top of the photo. A watermark for Linda Frembes Handmade is in the right corner.

Finished up another pair of samples for my upcoming in-person earring workshops. My beginner-friendly workshop will show you what's possible for anyone who wants to create at home without needing to solder/bring fire into their dwelling. Sign up: linktr.ee/lindaxfire. #worcesterma #handmadejewelry

Did you know the potato chip was invented in the 1850s by a chef named George Crum specifically to annoy a customer who complained that his potatoes were sliced too thin? It’s true! So let this be a reminder that great things are possible through dedication to your craft and unquenchable spite.

Another perennial favorite on the way to a dog lover in the Midwest.

This design is inspired by my rescue pup pittie mix Ellie.

I am really honored that I've been able to create jewelry that memorializes a beloved furry family member. See some examples on my website at:

🪬 Happy weekend, all.

Been feeling like I need a bit more protection from the craziness. So made this sterling silver hamsa 🪬 pendant, a symbol of protection & positive energy. ❤️ The negative space was oxidized to make the design pop. 🪬 Stay safe out there, kids. #handmade #handmadejewelry #hamsapendant #turquoisejewelry

Final piece (top) from my first try at glass casting. My mold cracked in the kiln so I had to do some work grinding down where the glass went wonky. Overall, not a terrible first try! #glasscasting #glassart #neverstoplearning #platypus

Thank you! 🙏

A few items fresh from the polishing tumbler. I'm a few weeks away from starting a new full-time job but I've been enjoying the break since leaving my old job. It's been a real privilege to just play with metal and find my creative spark again. 💥 #actuallyhandmade #handmadejewelry #smallmetalobjects

No, my taste veers more towards @marketplace.org, @planetmoney.bsky.social, etc.

OMG, I love this! Are there specific types of tins that you repurpose?

Either catching up on my podcasts or an upbeat playlist, depending on what I'm working on. Usually my simple brain can't follow a conversation if I'm soldering. 😆

This is a good point…👇

Lots of chatter today about @southwest.com ending their popular free bag policy. It's what made them unique amongst a sea of same. Makes me think about brand and customer experience, and which companies actually care about that anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A project I was peeping at in the glass studio today. I loved all of these variations! #catlover #fusedglass

Thank you! 🙏

A green enamel pendant with a silver spine down the middle in the shape of a Monstera leaf. The pendant is on a silver chain. The background is a textured black wood. A watermark that says "Linda Frembes Handmade" is on the bottom of the image.

This one flew out the door quickly and is on its way to Tennessee! I made a few of these pendants last month to celebrate me finally adding a Monstera to my plant collection. 🥳 This was my last one but I'll soon make more. #monsteraleaf #enameling #enameljewelry #handmade #handmadejewelry

Partial close-up of a woman's face. She is wearing an elongated silver hoop earring that is in focus. A watermark that says "Linda Frembes Handmade" is visible.

After test-wearing these hoops for a while, I can honestly say that I'm in love with them. Beautiful, elegant, and comfy. 😍

a tiny white dog stands on a tile floor and looks up at you. they’re wearing a big plush yellow star around their teensy noggin, like the world’s most congratulatory lion mane. we really needed to see her today.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

My husband loves platypi and I'm always looking for platypus-themed gifts for him. Is this a print that's available for purchase??

And here's the model with some fur texture on it.

A grey clay platypus is next to a brown plastic platypus figurine on a table. Work tools, the corner of a paper plate, and corner of a notebook are also seen on the table.

Did a hand-built clay platypus for our glass casting project. Not an exact match but I'd say it's not too bad. I love my time in the studio, no matter what I'm working on. 🥰 #maARTch #claymodel #platypus #studiotime

Thanks for this tip!

Took a #bonsai class with Pete from New England Bonsai Gardens, the largest bonsai nursery in the Northeast. I learned that you can bonsai any tree, including redwoods. 🤯

This arboricola will hopefully survive me & will look more like a bonsai by end of summer after its first defoliation in June.

How Fungi Move Among Us (Gift Article) Underground fungal networks are “living algorithms” that quietly help regulate Earth’s climate. Now scientists know what makes them so efficient.

This @nytimes.com article about fungi is giving me "The Last of Us" vibes.

Fungi travel using a "living algorithm" to build the most efficient pathway - all without a brain or a nervous system. 😱 😳

Many things are very bad. Please plan something fun for yourself. It could be a date, a day at a museum, a long hike somewhere, a visit to a favorite bakery, time with friends, ice skating, a comedy show, or a massage.

Give yourself something to look forward to. It really makes a difference.
