Finally got my shelves up to properly display my @amyraehill.bsky.social art. Picked up the large bowl from the Proctor Arts day a year ago, and why yes, that IS Dr. Samantha Carter there to save the day, thank you for noticing.

Birch shelf displaying a Funko doll of Dr. Sam Carter from the TV show Stargate, a large decorative bowl with an image of 2 astronauts crashed on a planet, and a space mug.

Hello bluesky! I'm Nora and I have a jewelry store focused on fused glass; I also have game tokens and worry stones.

Earrings: nora.jewelry/collections/...

ad for the nora.jewelry collage collection, which consists of pieces made from patterned cane with some transparency piled on top of other different color canes and turned into a molded shape; the transparency creates a lot of depth in the final pieces, because you can see through the transparent bits to what is behind it. pictures are a pair of round green, white and purple cufflinks, a orange and yellow bolo tie, and a teardrop shaped pendant with a green/white design added to a pink design

ad for the cluster collection, a group of fused glass pendants (and a couple other things, but only pendants are pictured) made from placing glass cylinders on their ends in a group and melting them just enough to round them out but not enough to make them fully puddle like most of my designs. the result of this ends up looking a bit like fish eggs adhered to a flat surface, or a bundle of grapes. the ones pictured are a simple round aqua blue design with yellow middles, a purple design with distorted flowers (this one started out as regular flowers but rounded their petals in the kiln, blurring them) and a round tan design with brown and white middles.

worry stone collection: this one has an orange collage design worry stone in an abstract shape, a white and green one where the edges between the colors blur, and a round one in a bi pride pattern.

earring collection: this one shows a sparkly green aventurine pair of round earrings, one that's white/grey/clear with black spots (that one's made from spiral cane that I made flat and you can see the spiral in the final design) and one with swirling green, yellow and pink set in white.

all the backgrounds on all of these are an aventurine dragonskin sheet that i put at low transparency over white, so they have a lacy quality to them.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

purely to gauge interest, i have a question!!

i’d need to figure some stuff out, but i’ve been feeling the absence of these kinds of art forums on a visceral level for years.

HYPOTHETICALLY. if. IF. i looked into setting up a professional art forum like this, would any of my peers be into it?

Alex Plante 🐀👑 @aplante.com · Dec 13

once again i am dreaming of an approved-members-only php forum for professional/high-caliber artists that is read-only to the public because honestly you've all had it too good for too long
