NASA’s Artemis II Reveals the Basin in Full
For the very first time, the mysterious Orientale Basin has been fully photographed. Thanks to Artemis II, humanity now sees the Moon in unprecedented detail, reminding us of the endless wonders beyond Earth. 🛰️

Someone does not look impressed by my cleaning and organizing.

My space for chainmaille got a little... messy and cluttered 😅 So spend my morning cleaning I did. Now back to learning that new dragon pattern....

Learning to make a new style dragon today.

I really should finish some in progress pieces, but naaaaaaah.

Just a little speed comparison to give you an idea of how much I speed up some of my videos.

This piece took me a little over 2 hours to make, but man is it fun to play with! (It slows down again at thend to show what its like to play with it)

A frontal view of a decorative chainmaille armor top made with the E4-in-1 weave, with staggered levels across the bottom with dangle spikes. On a black mannequin in front of a white background.

This piece probably took me way longer than it should have, but I only worked on it with half efforts while watching TV through most of the cold months.

But I'm super happy with how it turned out!

Took the time to get four more flag pendants listed in my shop tonight. Half of them are up now!

Earth appearing as a bright crescent behind the Moon’s surface

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Something about listening to Chester scream for 17 seconds straight just makes the day a little better

Real quick video of zipping up a chainmail necklace.

Taking it from E4-in-1 to Round Maille. The bright colors add to the awesome of it ⛓️😁

And now your moment of zen.

It's decided, I'm doing the opposite of bangs next time I get my hair cut

Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof X.com I'm struck by the contrast between the passion for democracy shown by Iranians willing to die for it and the complacency with which many Americans have accepted an authoritarian slide. Americans should cheer for Iran's democrats--and also learn from their determination.

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.

The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

Peanut butter and honey. Works great on multiple breads

A brindle pit bull dog, sitting in a chair covered with a fuzzy dark blue blanket. The dog is resting her chin on the arm of the chair with her ears back and a sad look on her face.

The look of utter disappointment on this dog's face is too much. She is sad because papa is on the floor, but won't pay attention to her because he's putting a new set of shelves together. 🤣🤣

Finally getting some events on the books! I'll update this list as more are confirmed 💜

Making some chainmail while watching the new episode of Fallout? Don't mind if I do!

Sitting out in the sun shine on this unreasonably warm sunny January day. Cause F SAD.

The dog just was jealous because there was a squash on the couch with us, but not her. I cant stop laughing 🤣

Up side of being stuck at home because of possibly being contagious - forced to sit and do my inventory. Which is DONE!! 🥳

Art vs. Artist 2025

I leaned into armor and pride this year, and want to keep expanding in those directions in years to come 💜

Here's to many more fantastical creations in the coming years 🍻

Peanut butter balls and tea for breakfast? Don't mind if I do 💜
