Hey y’all! Long time no post… I’ve been taking time off for recovering both mentally and physically. Many of you may have already seen in my stories but my beloved grandmother passed away at the end of January after her long struggle with dementia. She had a huge part in raising me and was a huge influence in my life so its an extremely difficult loss. I put my shop on vacation mode and took a few weeks off to tend to my emotions. Unfortunately just when I was feeling ready to start working again, I was exposed to and contracted Covid 19. Fortunately I am vaccinated and have a healthy immune system. I only had mild symptoms for a few days but quarantined for a week just to be safe. I like to think all the echinacea, nettle and elderflower tea I drank helped speed the recovery too. ☕️ I am fully recovered now and feeling uplifted by the recent turn towards spring weather. My shop is active and I am ready to get back to grindin in the studio. I apologize to those who have been waiting to hear back from me about custom orders! I will be getting back to you asap, thanks for your patience and support! ✨ . . . #personalupdate #naturebonestudio #glassartist #skullpendant #borosilicate #vultureculture #witchyjewelry #gothart #handmadejewelry #glasspendant #ramskull #etsyseller #glassforsale #glassofinstagram #neurodivergentartist #mentalhealth #glassdesign #flameworking https://www.instagram.com/p/CakjEKUpzpG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fred Wilson (b. 1954, Bronx, New York) challenges assumptions of history, culture, race, and conventions of display with his work. Known for his politically charged work that explore issues faced by Africans and African-Americans in past centuries, Fred Wilson makes sculptures that are, first and foremost, beautiful. His Murano glass mirrors (2009), made from onyx Murano glass (a color never before used for decorative objects), are glossy and ornate, while Regina Atra (2006), Wilson’s version of the Diamond Diadem, the celebrated crown worn by Her Majesty the Queen of England, is as delicate and opulent as the original. Each is a commentary on the African experience, a theme that is occasionally met with great resistance, as in the case of Wilson’s thwarted efforts to erect a sculpture of a freed slave in Indianapolis, which was to be titled E Pluribus Unum. By reframing objects and cultural symbols, he alters traditional interpretations, encouraging viewers to reconsider social and historical narratives. Since his groundbreaking and historically significant exhibition Mining the Museum (1992) at the Maryland Historical Society, Wilson has been the subject of many solo exhibitions.
Renee Stout grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and received her BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 1980. She looks to the belief system of African peoples and their descendants throughout the African Diaspora, as well as to the world and her immediate environment, for the inspiration to create works that encourage self-examination, self-empowerment and self-healing.
All finished and heading out to its new home…a writer’s cabin on the side of a volcano overlooking the harbor in New Zealand. Why can’t I deliver this one personally!? #stainedglass #fern #moonphases #moon #fiddlehead #custom #artistsofinstagram #craft #handmade #glassartist
