Before I move on to earrings, one thing that isn't handmade but *is* my design! I have quite a few of these paired hawk skull pins, inspired by harris hawk skulls. $18 per pair (they do come with a removable chain but it's slightly shorter than the one pictured here!)

I would especially love to sell some of these! I have a good few pairs left, and can ship right away!

Valentine's is coming up, and if you need a gift for someone you love I have some fantastic jewelry available to ship right now! Thread starts here - a few of these have sold, but most are still available!

in times of turmoil it is very easy to feel like theres nothing you can do to help, especially if you are far away, but i promise buckaroo EVERYTHING helps. there is direct action like donating money or protesting, and there is cultural action like creating art and cultivating atmosphere of change

Today's nature friend has some nice color blocking going on. 10/10 fashion sense

My piano lesson was cancelled today (the college is closed for snow removal) but I remembered I have physical therapy at 4:30 so I gotta shovel the drive... I'm maybe halfway done and taking a break but dang it's so exhausting

Since it's died down a little, taking this opportunity to fix that typo in my pinned lmao...

A surprising number of new people here! Hello! I've been planning to make a new pinned/intro post so maybe now is a good time...

An ongoing saga

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

I gave the crustacean children some carrot scraps and they are very happy campers haha

That reminds me! Check out this awesome necklace I commissioned from @sundaycreature.bsky.social as a Christmas present for Vera! She adores it!! Great communication through the whole process and look how darling it came out!!! Thank you so much!!! 🐀 💖

It finally started snowing and I just accidentally made like the best soup ever. My only regret is that I didn't have any nice crusty bread to go with it

In other news, today would have been my grandma's 100th birthday. Thinking of her today.

Reading a sort of cutesy webcomic today and it just hit me with the line, "It would be nice if someone could tell me... that I'm on the right path, even if it's crooked." T-T

Whenever I manage to get a picture of big bro and little bro twinning it's always like think fast, friends! Which cat is which? (Can you tell?)

Some crystal danglies! Also $20 a pair.

Cherries! I have two pairs of these available, $20 a pair. I think they're super cute, if I do say so myself :> I have my own pair! I designed them for a casual Sailor Venus cosplay and they were so fun to make I made more haha. I also used to have bunches of grapes but those sold!

The first two pictures are of a copper "locket" I made to demonstrate a method of making hinges and clasps without soldering for someone, $45. Then a matched pair of anatomical heart pendants, friendship necklace style! $40 for the pair.

With all of *waves hands* right now I feel kind of awful trying to sell jewelry but also I've barely had any work for the past two-ish months and I'm struggling hardcore

So I'm in a like... It's like a group chat really which is kind of weird but whatever - chatroom type thing of this musician I like. He sometimes but does not always write in English. Technical explanations especially tend not to be in English. Google always offers to translate it for me, but

are they not monsters?

It's Wildlife Wednesday and I wanna do a thread over at @endangeredartbooks.com but I can't decide what to write about. Any requests?

Okay well I didn't make jewelry today but I DID get started on this little embroidery I'm gonna applique on my work bag (because embroidering straight into it was a Mistake and I'm not repeating it). It's gonna be a goldeneye in eclipse plumage!

There's some talk about people trying to trade vendors random cheap stuff for merch at cons which - wow don't do that - but anyways as a con-themed palate cleanser, one time I bought a zine from an artist and at the same time I told her to keep the change as a tip, she offered me a discount lol

Just saw a post that was talking about how gen z refuses to let themselves be exploited or work for free, and how they are seen as difficult or uncooperative as a result and like. Idk enough gen z to know how true that is of them but I know it's true of ME. It's so frustrating, too

Any time one of the physical therapists tells me I am doing a good job I am like, this is great, I am going to get a good grade in physical therapy

I have physical therapy in about an hour and when I get home I'm gonna try to work on some jewelry (just a personal project) and organize my embroidery supplies for tomorrow. Putting it out there to the void so that hopefully I will actually do it

Having a late night (early morning?) crisis about my career/the shambles thereof, what's up with you peeps (possibly don't answer that. Anyways I am going to go to bed now...)

Hey by the way, you know what would make a wonderful Valentine's day present for someone in your life you love? Custom jewelry by me! Valentine's day is also my birthday so you can think of it as a present to me too haha. Email me at [email protected] for more info!

When I first got Bisque he committed many a Cat Crime and had to be contained via cuddles and ever since that he was like "clearly lap sitting is illegal" but he's been slowly coming back around to the concept. Lately we have graduated to "using Arras as a pillow." Exciting!

Anywho I have been struggling(tm) lately so I decided to volunteer at a local org. They have a food pantry and at some point I will do that but right now I've signed up for their "fiber arts night." Apparently all I have to do is hang out, work on fiber arts, and be available to help other people

If anyone has thoughts and opinions on which project I should maybe pick for 2026, I would love to hear them, especially if you sew/cosplay!

What's Up With COVID and What We Can Do About It: 2026 Edition I've thoroughly updated this public health propaganda zine! With new information about: Adjusting mask fit CO2 monitoring Improving ventilation for infection control Read at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the thread below 👇

Ah, I just remembered it's almost my birthday... What should I do for my fancy birthday cake this year? I have some cute cake stands I might wanna use for inspiration. (Currently I am trapped under the cat gravity but I might snap a photo later)

So today was the only day I was scheduled to work this week and it got cancelled due to snow!!! Argh.

Sure! Whale fall art train! This was originally made for a gallery show. I didn't win but I still think it's a great piece.

Reminder that I’m open for commissions on VGen! Should be a pretty quick turnaround on most, now that I’m through retail holiday hell lmao #vgen #vgencommissions vgen.co/pocketflowers
