Promise, last one ….

Pretty good turnout at the #handsoff protest in Mansfield Ohio. I got to hang out with some lovely people and the rain held off for the whole time!

Further that penguins are smarter and more articulate than the president

Upcoming protest in Mt. Vernon! #ohio #ohiostrong #Mt.Vernon

A new day, a new enamel switch plate #art #handmade #copperenamel #finecraft #glassonmetal

I made this copper enamel switch plate. It's transparent chartreuse glass fused onto pure copper. Check it out on my website kristinellis.com #glassenamel #handmade #artglass #finecraft #artsky

I went to the protest in Mansfield, Ohio. It was a big turnout for a small city. Many drivers honked in solidarity! Lots of great signs

Ornaments! I made these from roofing copper and fired glass enamel designs onto them in a kiln. I have a few for sale on my website #craft #glass #copperenamel #artsky #womenart #artglass #glassonmetal

This reflection in a scummy, litter-strewn pond in a private campground speaks volumes. #photography #politics

We're a match made in heaven when we defend our civil rights and civil liberties.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Arrived today! My order of copper switch plates from Thompson Enamel in Kentucky. Now to fire on the color...

I made this ring from copper pipe and fused the glass enamel floral design in a kiln. #handmade #artjewelry #art #artsky #craft #glass #craft #recycledart

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Earrings! Copper enamel with sterling silver. A splash of spring green fired over transparent. Spring will be here before you know it. tinyurl.com/32xn9pec

So much chaos, it's exhausting, but I stepped out of my studio to call my representatives today. Then got back to making pretty jewelry. Gotta keep my spirits up.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)

📖I’m truly enjoying @josephestiglitz.bsky.social’s new book. It’s very elegant in its dissection of the failure of “free” markets and its proposals for a new progressive vision of government’s role in the economy. #econtwitter

Regulations exist to protect what cannot protect itself!

Why not redirect that money to improving the quality of life of all beings?

A Merry Christmas cupcake! It was delicious

Working on holiday orders today. I'll be firing up the kiln for these earrings soon!
