Tonight in the glass lab: this little guy is done with the grinder and ready to be foiled. 💚

Cis people telling trans folks to leave a country that is criminalizing being trans are a part of that country's genocidal project.

Cis people, actually *do something* to make trans folks safer at home. Put in money, time, and action.

Trans folks, do whatever you need to to stay safe and healthy.

My first StampFans postcard illustration, titled "Grandpa's Garden", is a small remembrance of my grandfather and the beautiful garden he grew.

I started moving into my very first artist's studio at the Charlotte Makerspace today. If you're in the area check it out for craft classes or a membership. They have LOTS of cool hobbies - 3D printing, fiber arts, welding, a woodshop, pottery studio, and glass lab.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

My bank account is low and my feed is full of struggling artists. If you have the means, please financially support your favorite artists. These are shit times.

My first attempt at a stained glass bolo tie with attached collar chains. This one has a moon, iridescent clouds, little golden stars, and a pearlescent braided leather cord. 🌕☁️✨

This suncatcher is made with buttons sandwiched between stained glass. It's a little chunky but I kinda love it. What do y'all think?

Stained glass mini mushrooms. Maybe I'll bring these to the pride events I'm vending at this year?
