Accidently got doubled booked with Meet your Maker Market, so lots to see!

So anyway... Anyone know if ppl will accept ancient drachma as payment nowadays??

Music: "Scylla" from Epic the Musical.

Okay, time to actually be active on here! I wish social media wasn't so draining, but alas!

Let's talk abt the #romanempire. We all know what Elon did & cowards "rebranding" it, but have y'all heard of a "Roman Goodbye?" I have SO many different coins bc it was SO popular back then! And March 15th IS coming up, so great time to learn about them!

Art Nouveau s. silver Medusa pendants. The Latin word for "to show": demonstrare. MONSTRAR=Monster! Monsters like Medusa *show* the faults in society. They are a literary device that physically manifest society's wrongs. Was Medusa bad or was society? #medusa #silversmith #monster #mythology #athena

The Monday after small business Saturday weekend means rotting in bed and applying to spring/summer markets because you're already burnt out from the holiday seasonnnn 💪🏻

Holiday market season as a silversmith is knowing that you will have to awkwardly and gently say something is "labradorite" after the customer asks if something is "labadite" (bc it's their favorite stone). Over and over until you die. 🖤 🫠

Was going to just make my partner some repurposed #warhammer earrings from leftover bits when I realized... I could make a whole collection! Repurposed plastics in silversmithing designs? Why not - these molds of scifi/fantasy weapons are cool AF. Plus eco-friendly and priced more accessibly!

Hi! I have no idea how this app works! Sterling silver pendant of St. George slaying a dragon. Hand-pressed using a vintage mold (and with a lovely little opal!). #silversmith #pdx #portlandoregon #artist #vintage @bsky.art
