I got a lot of questions about the state of Texas in 2031. While we are really enthusiastic to run a worldcon we understand that the US is not conducive to that right now. We are waiting to see how the midterms go. (Please no politics on this post) However we can have some fun with it right? ;)

Happy tiara Tuesday! Okay I almost forgot but finally was able to get it done in time! I came back from LA to a bunch of filigree orders and was inspired! And of course if you missed it the tiara we made in the workshop. It was lovely to see everyone wearing them afterwards!

I have designed two Hugos too! The second was for San Jose and it was with Vincent Villafranca. From the release: The Solartisans inspecting their work on the 2018 Hugo Award base. A true Solartisan always assumes the famous Olan Mills pose! :) ( photo by JOhn Davis )

Happy tiara Tuesday! So at conventions I get a lot of people saying to me, “I don’t recognize you with out a tiara!” Well worry no more! I have a tiara for worldcon and I will be wearing it 😉 maybe not the WHOLE time! I just got these dragons and love them. They work so well for centerpieces!

The difference between the workshop tiara and my Hugo tiara is one piece of filigree (if I can source a few more pieces of the side ones) and that is the moon in the front. Although I should bring some just in case! And mostly I have large gems for the centerpieces.

Happy tiara Tuesday! I posted this tiara yesterday and it has always been a favorite (first picture). But it needed a bit of tlc and updating. So I did just that 🙂 New filigree, stronger attachments. I loved it before but now it is even better 🙂 (picture is better too! Heh) ❤️👑❄️

So one of my favorite tiaras is being remade today. I am struggling to change it but it was an earlier one and wasn’t put together the best way. So I have removed all the silver bits and am reworking it.

A few more days to vote in the hugos! Don’t forget the fan categories! We work hard to celebrate the community and I really appreciate all the fans who create! My Tiara Tuesdays are for bringing joy to people in a small way which is why I keep doing it. 300 tiaras later I still love it 👑❤️
