I have a lot to say about these sites. This older blog post of mine still holds true. If you see my work on any of these sites, rest assured it is not me and the use of my images is unauthorized. #intellectualproperty #imagetheft heatherfish.com/blogs/heathe... heatherfish.com/blogs/heathe...

I love opalite glass so much and design with it every chance I get. 🩵 #hairjewelry

"By the power of truth, I while living have conquered the universe."

Busy doing what I do. #jeweler

Well... it's time. My hair has become way too heavy. It's time for a trim. I had to quit wearing my jewelry because of the added weight, and I miss it. 😩 #longhair #longlocs #longdreadlocks #gulfofmexico #beach

One of my polished brass hair jewelry designs. These are compact and intricate, but I love a good challenge. #hairjewelry #locs #dreadlocks #braids #brassjewelry #heatherfish

I finally finished this Arkansas quartz torque necklace. 12+ hours and a few blisters later, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.🤘 Available on my website: heatherfish.com

This is the branch structure of my Spiny Black Olive #bonsai tree. I removed a major limb to correct a bar branch flaw, and it is a wonderful example of the natural way this tree grows... like a geometric pattern. I felt compelled to share. 💚

I worked on my #windswept #literati #bonsai today. I'm bad at this style, so I made this tree initially to try and improve my skills. This is its second major styling. Not a terrible start...

My bougainvillea bonsai. No styling work so far. I rescued it after a hurricane 3 years ago, & it had zero good roots. I have been waiting for it to gain strength & vigor. Outside of some needed carving & a potting angle change, I'm torn about next steps for styling. My greatest challenge so far.

Commisioned set of #Norse #dreadlockbeads Elements include Baltic amber, hessonite garnet, antler, & jeweler's brass. My goal with this set was to explore and strike a balance between new & old techniques. The brass elements are raw & unsealed, just as they would have been in the bronze age.

A beautiful, quality little #bonsaipot by @brambledragon.bsky.social It's a relatively young tree, so it needs more work & growth time, but this pot is perfect for it... especially when it blooms with little cream/white flowers in the spring. This little dude is part of my permanent collection. 💚

Bench update! All my small #bonsai trees received maintenance and hair cuts today. Some are looking rather naked, but they will recover. I'm going to look for some proper pots for a few of them soon.

Another of my #parsoniijuniper #bonsai trees. I let berries grow on it this year while it takes a break from wire. In the spring, it will get a different potting angle and wirework.

My cascade style #ficus #bonsai on it's new pedistal. It needs some repositioning in the pot, and I'm hoping to get some back budding in a few places, but I'm happy with the design so far.

I don't know how Bluesky became the social media I post all my bonsai content to, but why not? The #bonsai community here is so great. :) I've been working on a Bonsai showcase area in the garden recently. Will update when done. :)

Some more new hair jewelry designs are available in my stores! These dudes went through nearly a year of wear-testing. I'm pleased with the results. The clear coat holds up nicely.

Just updated a heatherfish classic on my website and Etsy store! Varied set of ten brass hair beads. Custom size and finish options are available. 😊

Why is finding raw material for garden trees(niwaki) so difficult here?! Surely it would be normal for nurseries to sell native trees? Sigh. I think I'm missing something.

Good morning from Florida! Everyone got their spring haircuts yesterday. I still have a lot of wiring to do. #bonsai #springtime

Did some major bend work on this parsonii juniper pre-bonsai... Apparently, I'm a masochist and like working with as many challenging species as possible. 🤷‍♀️

Despite being weakened by a sudden scale and fungal infection this year, this little Christmas Cactus in my garden is showing off in a grand way. It is recovering nicely.

Years ago, when I used to do nails, a woman walked into the salon with these earrings on. I complimented them. She took them off and just gave them to me. She wouldn't entertain refusal. I never met her again. She was a kind soul and I have treasured them since. I wonder where she is now...

I'm modeling one of my copper metal hair cuff designs. My birds-nest fern(to the right) is three times that size now. I can't believe how small it is in this photo.

Cape Honeysuckle #bonsai (bright orange flowers). Grown in nusery pot for 3 years to thicken trunk. Left some redundant branches & wired for protection. Hoping for back budding.The pot was one I had laying around. Will definitely put it in a better one at some point. Good potential in 10+ years.

Brought my trees inside due to a cold snap, so I did a little minor work on this variegated schefflera during a work break. It needs a bit of repositioning, but since this is only its first year in a pot, I'm going to wait for a more established root system before I stress it any further. #bonsai

Whoever said mixing metal tones is bad was boring. 😝 Side note, I much prefer the aluminum pronunciation of "allowminium". It just flows better. But, if I walk around saying that here in the States, folks think I'm mental. haha. . . . #copper #oxidizedaluminum #hairjewelry #locs #dreadlocks

Y'all! I took some behind the scenes shots & realized I could actually see my chin! I haven't seen it in years. 😭 It may seem trivial, but I've been working my ass off to get healthy, & it's a little reminder that my work is paying off. For those of you who are trying to reach a goal, keep going!!

Well... I was going to share a video of my polishing process tonight, so I recruited my hubby to film for me while I worked. The result was 20+ minutes of my arm. Just... my arm. 😂 #taketwotomorrow

www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NYBX5V/ I get requests for studio videos. I still think watching me work is boring, but folks like it. So, maybe pour yourself some coffee for this, and make sure to wear some cozy pajamas... I am. 😅 I'm making 7mm hair cuffs in multiple diameters and metal types.

One of my newer #hairjewelry designs... I might be a bit biased, but Arkansas amethyst is some of the prettiest out there. Plus, I love unheated raw amethyst better anyway. Its color is more subtle, but you can see the complex inclusions more clearly. www.heatherfish.com

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

The pride of my #bonsai collection. A parsonii juniper currently unwired. It survived damage from two hurricanes, a cat fight, a contractor accident that resulted in a cracked main leader & loss of the first branch, & a cracked pot. It also happens to be an unpopular species. I love a challenge.

"Heatherfish" is not inspired by or affiliated with religion. I just like #fish. Can you find a larger color spectrum than that of our #oceans? Plus, I need an excuse to use my fish doodles.

Here is a photo of some of my past #pendant work. I should photograph the back of these more often because I like to hide intricate designs back there. It's like a pleasant surprise. No one expects the back of these to be as good(if not better) as the front.🤷‍♀️

I quit using Twitter(X) years ago because it became a negative void where it felt like inspiration failed to flourish. My feed was always filled with soul sucking crap. Bluesky is so refreshing. I can see my artist peers rediscovering their passion for sharing their work in real time. It's nice.

#bonsai is what this jewelry artist does in her spare time... of which, there is not much. It's a good thing bonsai is a patient art.

Would you look at that. We are having a cold snap here in Florida, and even so, my #orchid is like "heyyyy!". 😂 #purple #flowers

I should make #earrings more often. These were so fun. Also, I like the idea of adding my mark as a design feature rather than a hidden identifier. I may do that more often in the future. #handmadejewelry #obsidian #copper

I've had this beautiful coral colored glass bead by @thirdeyegypsys lying around the studio for a while now, and it is far too pretty to just stay stored. So, I decided to pair it with green sea glass and silver. Available exclusively on my website. #locjewelry #hairjewelry #art heatherfish.com

Any excuse to make food art. I made lemon garlic cornflake chicken, stuffed with sharp cheddar and cream cheese, and served with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies. Sides are three cheese baked mac n cheese and bruschetta. Also... I made a lemon cake. A reward for a year of strict eating. 💛😊

Is anyone else happy that wide leg jeans are back? I've been waiting years for this! I wish I would have saved my #Jncos from the 90s. Also... check out this cool feather bead I made. It's not listed yet, but you could probably snag it if you ask.

I see a lot of kickass #beards, #locs, #braids, etc, out there with no handmade jewelry on them... 👀 Seeee me. I'm compelled to decorate your hair. 🥹😇

If I kick my ass hard enough at the gym, I reward myself by allowing myself to work in my pajamas. Anyone else? 😂

Same designs, more options! I'm slowly taking time to update all the photos for all my best-selling designs. As an artist, I continue to grow & improve. Many of my old photos do not represent the current quality of my work, & it has been driving me nuts. 🫠 #brass #hairjewelry #art heatherfish.com

I'm an introvert and I stuggle to share my life with the world, but I hope my #art will at least make someone's day a little less monotonous.

For some reason, this batch of #hairjewelry reminded me of that "Silver and Gold" song that Yukon Cornelius sang in Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer. It was stuck in my head the whole time I was polishing. 🤣

I make #hairjewelry in every form imaginable, & I was one of the first online artisans to do so. If you are looking for something that is quality & time tested, check out my work! I make stuff to last. heatherfish.com #locjewelry #dreadlockjewelry #braidjewelry #beardjewelry #handmade
