Ah, this is interesting! I thought I'd be able to cast with the smith, which is why I had my eye on it. I never took it further though because I'm scared of having any bottles at all lol.

Are there any jewellery makers out there who could explain the difference in silicone vs rubber polishing wheels to me, like I'm 5? Because I'm not getting it - is there a difference?? #Silversmith #Metalsmith

Angela Lansbury and Bea Arthur revisiting "Bosom Buddies" from Mame on the 1987 Tonys = instant serotonin.

Justice for Candice the Cola Cow! ✊🐮

Ah shit! Try again somewhere else - it really seems to be dependent on the pharmacist. Mine didn't ask about medications or even what condition I had.

New contacts arrived - whoop! I can see again! Man, all the things I am gonna look at. Watch out world, you can't hide from me now.

Absolutely ♥️

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 8h

That's kind of you, thank you.
I'm sorry you're going through a rough time too, its easy to forget that these are super weird times and it seems to put additional something (pressure? woe?) on top of things we already struggle with. Just remember you have a community here xx

That works

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 8h

If I understand correctly, that's one tank for the EZ and two for the swiss?

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 8h

Ooh fab, thank you so much. I'll take a look at the both ♥️

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 8h

Yep. I'm also just struggling a bit with my broken wrist - everything feels difficult and clumsy. Anyway I'm sorry I'm here feeling sorry for myself when really I'm fine, people have much worse to deal with. It'll pass. How about you, you doing ok at the moment?

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 8h

How about just a slight alteration - we could call it the "Obscene"?

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 8h

I absolutely love this.

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 19h

I need it.

Because if it is excusable for them, then it's excusable that he called Trump "America's Hitler" at one time.

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 20h

That is perfect!

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 20h

I love that

I'm noticing a theme among jewellery makers in my insta feed lately..

A silver ring with the words Fuck It engraved on the inside.

Enamel rings with the words Go Away, Bitch, Fuck Off, and Fuck This enamelled on them.

Yep it's super weird. For me it usually means I'm spending too much time alone - which is also weird because I generally like spending time alone. But I suppose we are all a series of contradictions ☺️

I know, it's so unfair!

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 1d

oh no! Did you hurt yourself? 😂

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 1d

I do not like it. I never approved this.

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 1d

Yeah we have some excellent suppliers here in the UK, I would buy directly from one that I would trust for something like a torch. But I don't really know enough to know what I want. Can you link me to your swiss and orca ones so I can take a look? Ta! ☺️

Jes Steele @piratito.com · 1d

Ohh that's really sad.
