Trans flag 🏳️‍⚧️ colored corn hits different

9 ears of glass gem corn, with the husks peeled back. The corn kernels are all different colors, some pale yellow, some light or dark pink, and others a beautiful pale blueish grey to dark grey. Some of the kernels are translucent like a gem. Pink, blue, and white are the colors of the trans pride flag :)

My latest excitement: glass gem corn. I bought the seeds from www.nativeseeds.org/pages/glass-... 2 years ago and finally planted them this year - I only germinated five corn stalks but they made the most beautiful little corns 😭

When the rings weren’t made for each other, but fit together as if they were. 😮‍💨 🥲

[ #jeweler #handmade #oneofakind #showmeyourrings #jotd ]

A white femme’s hand wearing three rings, a thin plain rose gold pinky ring, and two silver rings worn on the ring finger. One has a small, round pale blue stone, with a split ring shank that hugs the stone setting, and tapers around the bottom of the finger. A second ring is stacked with it and it’s bent form perfectly nestles with the previously described ring. It’s sculpted to meet at an elegant peak that points outward toward the fingertips.

Plz vote: ring pointing in or out?

My friends Nick & Jill of Pharelight Docs made this beautiful short doc highlighting Beautiful Purpose, a bipolar support community created by Samantha Sunshine. It is so moving and well worth the watch.

This little Persian cat wire doodle came about after I removed this piece of wire from a form and saw these two stubby bumps that were just begging to be ears.

I appreciate this take! I think I’ll always have a love/hate relationship with silver, and that’s okay haha. I’ve been leaning into argentium more lately because I despise firescale.

I was fairly certain that gold would break $3k by the end of February but I was wrong.
It did break $3k today however.
Oof.

The cat distribution system got us last Wednesday - it’s been one week with sweet simone 🩶🤍🩷

A seven month old kitten lying back on her side and looking up at the camera with one paw raised. Her fur has grey tabby patterning with white patches on her front paws, chest, neck, and a triangle of white on her face that starts wide on her upper lip and comes to a wobbly peak up her nose and onto her forehead. Her nose is pink and her eyes are a muted green.

In progress, but I made this snake ring on Sunday. I focus heavily on ergonomics in my work, making sure the piece can be worn everyday without fuss. This ring isn’t exactly knit-friendly, but it’s nice to break your own rules sometimes.

A white femme’s fingers holding up a sterling silver snake ring with an elongated blue indicolite tourmaline teardrop. The snake’s tail is holding the round bottom of the teardrop, the body wraps around the finger, and the head emerges near the top of the teardrop, pointing outward, on the defense. The background is a white door with windows. A rainbow from a prism in the window is shining on the door.
