The Trump Regime has decided there aren't enough white supremacists in the United States, so they will be importing them from South Africa.

I'm back in the shop and making some progress on a prototype dulcimer to try a few new ideas.
The ends of the braces are fit into the linings, and I hope to glue the back on tomorrow.

This gold sew-on clothing appliqué is in the form of two Scythian archers, back to back (blood brothers?). Hellenistic in style, it was excavated from the burial mound at Kol Obo in Ukraine, near Pantikapaion - probably the tomb of a Scythian king. 🏺 #ancientbluesky
