Disgraceful. The back-scratching and overt corruption continues to snowball.

Peyote stitch beaded hoop earrings workshop Saturday 3/22 at Peninsula College Longhouse, Port Angeles WA. Use larger beads to learn this versatile technique.

Working on a male figure, getting the facial features refined before attaching to the shoulders for a bust. The head "cap" goes on last, then hair gets added. Fun times!

Welded together a double ring "cage" for Grands Spider's red crystal orb. The long legs will be welded to the back of her web.

Morning coffee in my most whimsical and impractical character mug. Celebrating finishing my artist talk yesterday for the "Cancer Sticks" exhibit.

Welded steel round bar frame? I never would have thought to bother painting it, was that done to seal it against oxidation?

This is a scary monster! If the artist had depicted an actual anatomically correct spider it would then be adorable 🥰

Thurs 2/27 Artist Talk & reception for 'Cancer Sticks' Hope to see you there tomorrow!

Thanks for putting words to what I've been feeling.

I have nothing nice to say so I'll let the facts of the situation say it all

Resource scarcity is the grain of truth in these "Nationalism" movements. But why can't they see how many resources the uber-rich hoard? Because they also want to be uber-rich and think the surest path is through taking it from others?

CNC cut steel for the Olympia spider sculpture upgrade! Nice straight lines make to translate into the stylized tree Cherokee Grandma Spider will peer from.

Morning coffee with my new mug! Thanks @trotterpotter.bsky.social ! Oh, and that's his dog Baux's paw print deeply impressed on the side. This thing is really beautiful from all angles, well balanced and feels great in the hand. The bottom is sweet too, with circular wire marks pulled through.

Valentines for all my friends! 😻💓

My new handmade mug! Thanks to Sage (Instagram @eyenaku). I will cherish it forever ❤️

Thank you for providing an alternative!
