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.

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

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

A pair of sterling silver rings on a dark surface. A hand with a ring on middle finger and thumb

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

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!

Photo of a pendant partially submerged in an open jar of liver of sulfur. Liver of sulfur is kind of piss yellow, just like Mountain Dew when it’s not in the green bottle, so don’t get them confused.

My bezel wire arrived and I finished up a gift. Citrine and sterling. Also the first time I’ve used liver of sulfur. I didn’t heat it up because all heat does for pickle and los is speed up the reaction and I’m just never in that much of a hurry 🤪big fan tho! #silversmith #metalwork

Finished citrine and sterling pendant. Front of sterling pendant without the stone set. It’s just come out of the liver of sulfur and is almost black in color.  Back of sterling pendant without the stone set. It’s just come out of the liver of sulfur and is almost black in color.  Freshly pickled (cleaned) sterling pendant with stone in place, but not set.

I ran out of silver so until I order more, I’ve been doing some design work. A labradorite bracelet and pendant commission, a poppy jasper pendant, and a palm root design. I feel like when I was 12 trying to find “my style” l m a o #silversmith
