I’m so proud of how these came out! I hope to keep offering them when I open my shop. Copper, brass, and sterling silver. #silversmith #metalwork

Cool my mom came by to bring us bread and then spent the rest of her visit trying to warn me about the dangers of democrats and immigrants and trans people 2/10 (the bread is REALLY tasty)

I got three orders for this copper, brass and sterling beanie baby tag today!! I’m always happy when people like my work, esp when they’re willing to pay me! #silversmith #metalwork

I made the cats a beanie baby tag out of felt for Halloween 🎃

Somehow the dream twitchies are even better with a mustache

I’ve been so miserable from new meds that I haven’t even looked at my studio door all week I wanna make stuff but I’m currently just a sad sack of sleep and GI problems 😭😭😭

Prototype for a project I probably won’t get to make for real til next year 🤪 but slowly working it out! #silversmith #metalwork

chat is this anything I wanna do more asymmetric designs but I think most of mine are bad lol #silversmith #metalwork

On the bench this morning #silversmith #metalwork

Several of the hubei turquoise I ordered really need to be backed before they can be set, so with audacity, YouTube, and JB Weld I’m gonna give it a shot

I dropped a bolt down my engine air scoop while changing the battery but because I’m a Car Girlie™️ I was able to remove it 😌 (If you’re a mechanic pls laff but I felt really accomplished ok)

Ahhhh look at it!! I’m so happy with this piece. Better photos to come later lol #silversmith #metalwork

I DIDN’T MELT IT INTO SLAG WOOOOOOO #silversmith #metalwork

I made a swivel bail! (If you saw this post a moment ago without alt no you didn’t) #silversmith #metalwork

Rock in the front, ghost in the back. WIP! #silversmith #metalwork

fellas is it cringe to design and make jewelry for ur dnd campaign asking for a me

The number of people changing lanes in the middle of an intersection correlates with the return of students to campus, but most of the culprits are old people PSA don’t do that it’s super dangerous

I need a new case for my tablet, but I just know the second I buy one it’ll fail catastrophically and I’ll have to buy a new one I really want to get a full decade out of it lol - I’m just two years away!

I don't think the new oot will have the same retrospective "that was brilliant actually" as ww's style did, but I did just see a take that compared it to Roccoco and high fantasty illustration that did shift my mind on it a little bit.

Waterfall Proper pictures of this necklace, finally. I’m really pleased with them - got some good tips on how to improve from last time! #silversmith #metalwork #productphotography

Brain say make stuff, so I make stuff. Pietersite and WIP dendritic agate with pierced backplate. Pietersite is available! #silversmith #metalwork

AND STAY DOWN

Ok I feel redeemed now Includes 23” handmade chain. Available! #silversmith #metalwork

I didn’t file the top left corner down enough so I’ve got some refinement to do, but I got the initial setting done for this pietersite! #silversmith #metalwork

I took a hard fall on Wednesday and haven’t been able to work in the studio at all, but I get to give my coworker her retirement present today and I’m hoping she likes it ahhhhhhhh

Normally making fun of someone's passing is in bad taste but I think Tim Curry of all people would be someone who would actually appreciate this.

I took two silversmith classes this week, and made my first pieces! Also, I met the shop cat and he let me give him skritches.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

I thought my coworker was pranking me about Dolly I’m so sad

I also took proper photos of this garnet pendant. Still just adore how glowy it is! #silversmith #metalwork

Updated photos of this pendant. I swapped for seamless paper and it was much cleaner. Also starring a cool piece of petrified wood from my cool rock collection. I love when my hobbies intersect. #silversmith #metalwork

Very sad that the backdrops I ordered won’t work for macro, but that’s my fault for not double checking. The pendant still looks great tho

The way light fills this hessonite garnet is mesmerizing. It reminds me of the OG Wizard of Oz bubble effects! #silversmith #metalwork #garnet

I still love Jimothy #silversmith #metalwork #jimothy

Practice rings for our wedding bands My partner’s ring size fits my middle finger, and my ring finger and thumb are almost identical, so I can wear these practice pieces as part of my normal jewelry (I’m not superstitious but I am a littlestitious) #silversmith #metalwork

why is copper so irritating to work with ;-; it needs SO much heat and/or I'm just an idiot because I could protype this bracelet in sterling in half the time if I had the silver to spare bumping an oxy-propane torch way up the list jfc

The problem with the pokopia DLC is that now in all the other environments I keep trying to swim upward and being mildly irritated I can’t 😂

I didn’t paint and attach thousands of individual popcorns to model trees just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”

If you don’t heat up the los it’s less like someone ripped a huge fart and more like la croix if they dropped a rotten egg flavor. If you work in a small area like me, I recommend room temp. I think it took like 10-15 minutes to get an acceptable patina, so it really doesn’t require heat at all!
