I made a few more pairs of my skulls-and-evil-eye earrings and put them up at etsy.com/shop/DesignWithinJewelry but I didn't want to get precious with a photo shoot. So I cut out magazine numbers and glued them to myself so the wind wouldn't blow them away 😀

Free shipping of course 😁

Happy Gotcha Day to Cricket, who really seems to know this is the day to get lots of pictures so she's very patient about it. Plus with the cooler weather lately she's been extra snuggly.

A few scenes from the No Kings protest in downtown San Diego. Despite what some politicians would have you believe, it was peaceful and joyful.

Next up in my #justusethedamnbeads collection, I have a few more of these Millefleur Goldstone beads, so I made a couple bracelets. The first one is up now at etsy.com/shop/DesignWithinJewelry, priced to get it out of my apartment. 😀

The best part of @amazonprime.bsky.social's Gandahar is that it's the EXACT same cut as the Light Years VHS I watched in the 80s. Same edit, dubs, and GLORIOUS music.

Worst part? Same quality as the VHS. Maybe worse.

A bootleg copy will be at least as good if you don't want to give Amazon your $.

The book cloth is sewn together from scraps in my sewing kit, the book board was rescued from a a self help hardback, I bought the paper from the thrift store and the book plate's from magazine letters.

Up at etsy.com/shop/DesignWithinJewelry just because I can't keep ALL the little books I make 😀

Hey fellow San Diegans! A friend of mine's husband recently passed, and bless his heart he loved a kitchen gadget. My friend is trying to downsize and move, so if you also like a neat kitchen gadget and would like to pick up one in San Diego for cheap, see below 😀

My present to myself at SDCC was a new Soundwave for my army. Technically a model but very easy to assemble. It's fully poseable and comes with three sets of hands. I'm ridiculously pleased with it, best $15 I could've spent.

My #SDCC Art Show jewelry display is done, here's a sneak peek before I drop it off at the show tomorrow morning. (Every year I try to make the labels on the back a little less chaotic, with varying degrees of success 😀

I'll post the official pics once they're hung up tomorrow!

I haven't been very good about taking photos of the circuit board pendants the last couple months, so here's 10 from the latest few batches.

These will be in my display at the San Diego Comic-Con Art Show July 24-27 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. No badge required for entry! 😀

Not that I was considering using @nurxapp.bsky.social anyway, but now you can add the use of obvious AI-generated images in their ads to the list of complaints. That poor belly button, ow.
