I pulled a half gallon of sap from my sugar maple. That gives me a total of two gallons of sap at the moment, which will probably give me about two cups of syrup once it's cooked down. 🤣
A photo of a gallon water jug filled halfway with tree sap. The background is a blurry kitchen background, a cutting board, some black cabinets, a sliver of a window.

I transferred the sap from the bucket under my red maple. I got about 1.5 gallons. This might be the only good sap I get from this tree this year bc it's budding already??? 😭 I just noticed the yesterday... I haven't pulled the sugar maple yet, but that tree doesn't have any buds yet.
Photo of a downward angle looking onto a kitchen island. On it is a gallon water hug filled with tree sap, and a kitchen kettle filled partway with sap. Photo of tree branches from below with a clear blue sky as the background. The branches are bare, aside from spring buds.

My strawberry cheong is complete and strained out! 🥰 It's so beautiful and delish, and I'm so glad it ended up fitting perfectly in this bottle!

We're rounding the end of our first winter in our house, and my mom gave me a couple of her taps and buckets so I could tap the two maple trees that we have! One is a sugar maple & the other is a red maple.

Photo of a suburban yard in late winter, a wide sugar maple tree is prominent in the foreground. In the trunk is a sap tap, with tubing that connects down to a white bucket for collection.

Finished this dead tree back in Dec of 2020. Lower half (trunk & roots) is healed, upper half with the branches is fresh in these photos. Tbh, the roots on the hand could use some touchups, but that's the gamble you play sometimes with hands when your client does manual labor. 😅 #tattoos #TreeTattoo
Photo of a forearm over a solid black background. Along the full length of the forearm is a gray wash tattoo of a realistically styled dead tree, with bare branches spanning the upper half, and roots flowing down onto the hand.

Here's a lil custom flash piece I did back in Nov 2020. I did a series of flowers with obscene & goofy sayings in the stem. #tattoos #BodyArt #QueerArtist #MnArtist #LGBT #TheTattooedLady #NikkiFirestarter #NonbinaryArtist #dandelion #flower #FlowerTattoo #FlashTattoo #FloralTattoo #DandelionTattoo
Forearm on black background. On the forearm is a tattoo of a seeded dandelion, with three seeds floating away in the breeze. Cursive writing, incorporated in the stem reads, "blow me." The tattoo is in grayscale with a pop of color in the head of the dandelion.

The thumb and ring finger are red glitter background with a spider drawn on each, using black gems and a gold ring around one gem to create the body. The index, middle, and pinkie fingers are all solid black with white spider web details drawn on. The middle finger also has an iridescent glitter over top of the spider webbing, with a few small chunky glitter pieces to mimic dew drops on the web.
