I think this is a mason bee pollinating my pole beans. #bloomscrolling #gardening #ohiogardens

I found a Dekay's brown snake climbing my runner beans yesterday, and it even posed for a portrait. #gardening #gardenbuddies #snakes

A pink carnation blooming

My carnation bloomed today. Happy Solstice! #bloomscrolling #ohiostateflower

Elderflowers in my friend's garden #wildlifegarden

Good turnout for No Kings in Mansfield Ohio. We were all spread out in a strip mall area. We had an overwhelmingly positive reception from people driving by #nokings

I designed a No Kings poster for Saturday. Please feel free to download and print one for yourself. It should be 11x17 unless Bluesky changes the size when uploading.

My night blooming cereus bloomed last night. So fragrant and beautiful

Original and inviting!

I found some cool mushrooms on a rotting log in my garden today. I had never seen dead man's toes in person before! I don't know what the other one is. #mushrooms #fungi #gardening

I had fun enameling switch plates today... The blue on the right is about to go into the kiln and the one on the left just came out, nicely fused. Both borders are the same color. They just look different before and after firing.

Working on switch plates today. It's nice and warm at the kiln. #enamelling #copperenamel #art #glass #finecraft #handmade

I make earrings, too. These pretty flowers are glass enamel on copper with sterling silver ear wires and fresh water pearl drops. I have these and more different colors on my website. #handmadejewelry #copperenamel #wearableart #art

Ohio Humanities funded our project mappingmay4.kent.edu (which has reached 21,000+ users in 96+ countries). OH distributes NEH funding, & is aimed at ensuring humanities projects reach small towns. And now it's gone. 90 percent of their budget, gone in a day. @spaceforpeace.bsky.social

New on my website, copper enamel ring made from reclaimed pipe. #handmadejewelry #art #enameling #glassonmetal

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

Handmade light switch cover, kiln-fired glass enamel on copper

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

I have used cup burs to dome the tops of raised rivets.

Here in the Great Lakes region of the US, glass collecting areas are closely guarded secrets
