You all probably need more LED jewelry, because everyone does, so pick up some great pieces from @alpenglow.bsky.social at Maker Faire Bay Area.

Alpenglow Industries (Carrie) @alpenglow.bsky.social · 20d

We’ll be bringing all of these to Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! They can be finished as a necklace, fish hook earrings, or lobster claw earrings for hooking onto hoops, your choice. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry #makerfaire #mfba2025 #makerfairebayarea

I can't stand the feeling of felt so the autism crafting gloves are on. Turns out the finger print reader on my cellphone works even with my hand protection equipped.

I'm doing the best I can. I was almost healed up and starting to spend time on writing and digital art again last weekend but I hit my head a couple days ago and it is like I am starting all over.

Looking at screens hurts so much that I close my eyes and touch-type whenever possible.

I learned two new techniques for customizing 3D models: cutting the model and dropping it through the build plate in the slicer software.
