@Jason If social media is the digital version of the town square shouldn’t we expect street performers? Is it any stranger than spray painting yourself silver and pretending to be a statue?

Working on pool furniture that won’t blow away. I made reusable molds out of scrap linoleum and plywood cut with my @ryobitoolsusa and $40 worth of @quikreteconcrete filled them. Still adjusting the geometry and then I will make a more refined CNC mold and make the production run

I think that creativity is a feeling that combines curiosity and optimism that can bubble up into experimenting and making! I am not always sure how my projects will turn out but my willingness to try seems to align with how hopeful I feel.

I built a garden inside a wardrobe and turned it into a desk. LED lights allow me to grow real 🌸s I made this a few years ago as an experiment but now I might revisit this idea because suddenly having a little bit of “nature” indoors seems useful and healthy.

I have been experimenting with broken glass and @total_boat epoxy resins. The glass reduces the amount of epoxy needed and acts as a heat sink allowing me to do deeper pours. I tested out my new @RYOBItoolsusa variable speed polisher which is making epoxy finishing a lot easier.

@XylaFoxlin Back to normal after 3 years of being fabulously inflated💰. The start-up D2C brands that were all in on growth are focusing on survival and margins. Similar thing happened to bloggers after 2008. Good time to focus on audience growth as streamers cut back
