Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I thought my sardine can ornament idea was original until I saw a very crude rustic metal one online. Oh well, here's mine made from polymer clay, wire, paper, chameleon powder, and resin. Perfect for my weird brother. #polymerclay #crafts #ornaments #sardines 040
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/04/2025More Dichroic Polymer samples from a Portland Polymer Clay Guild demo I gave last month. UV resin is the best topcoat. I wrote out free basic instructions and a materials list geared toward intermediate and advanced clayers at BlondeCrowStudio.com #polymerclay #artsandcrafts #BlondeCrowStudio 030

Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Dandelions are the first food source for honeybees in the spring. Don't mow them down until other plants in your yard are blooming! Glass and Premo. #polymerclay #art #dandelion #crafts 070
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I was so excited creating this one thinking how the recipient would like it. When I gave it to him he stared at it, smiled, & left the room! Not the reaction I was hoping for... Then his wife told me he loved it so much he started tearing up & didn't want people to see how emotional he got. Whew! 110
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Have you ever seen a more perfect Christmas tree ornament for a Star Wars geek? He loved it! I designed it to hold a battery operated tea light. Premo, Cernit colored translucent, glass. #polymerclay #Starwars #Christmas #art #crafts 2120

I made boiling hot chai, he made eggs, & we ate them with the previous night's naan. I miss breakfasts with Baba. TINY Premo pieces, silver bezel. The pendant is 2.5cm tall (1 inch). #polymerclay #art #crafts 080

Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 10/01/2025'Dichroic Polymer' I developed my technique for faux dichroic glass through much trial and error and then taught it to my polymer guild peeps. Premo, Cernit, cellophane films, mica powders, acrylic paint, resin. #polymerclay #art #nwpcg.org 1100
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Why do chickens wearing rain boots make me laugh? I used Premo clay, metal pinbacks. I also used my friend Kim Day's tiny 3D-printed cutter for the flower shapes. #polymerclay #art #crafts 080

Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Their shipbuilding skills are an important part of history whether they were "very, very bad" people or not. That's WHY it's called 'The Viking Age'. And no one is disputing they were bad. 000

The VP Vance just supported Musk's tweet. 14240531243
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024So, so true. The more I know about Norse shipbuilding, the more fascinated and respectful I am of their skill. 020
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Depends how it's made. If it's tested for a high-carbon steel content (Ulfberht swords) then historians know how it was made and who made it and when. Norsemen brought this sword making technique from the Middle East 300 years before the rest of Europe figured out how to do it. 010
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024'Vikings' included several races and shared ideology, not skin color. There are way too many Hollywood and neoNazi alpha heritage bullshit stereotype myths being perpetuated. For example, most were recorded as 'blonde' in foreign reports of the time bc they washed with lye (a bleach) to kill lice. 030
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024They were also kidnappers for ransom, blackmailers, and traders in goods and people. But they WERE more than this: they had phenomenal shipbuilding skills that allowed them to sail on just about any watercourse and dominated their adversaries bc of it. Their ships were truly incredible engineering. 020
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024The Norse a-viking culture was known for letting babies with obvious disabilities die. It's unlikely he couldn't walk/had brittle bones bc he was a strong warrior in battle. I think it's a mistranslation of "cruel" considering the nickname came about centuries after he died. 100
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024None of them did. Total fabrication. Google 'authentic Viking armor' for examples from several museums. The only known use of horns at that time was for drinking. 110
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024No, not necessarily. 'A-viking' was a job, not a race or culture. 130
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024All tribes and armies of the time did these things. Norsemen who went a-viking were brutal, but the only 'cool AF' difference from other cultures was their incredible shipbuilding skills. 020
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024The Norsemen of the Viking Age have a reputation for being ruthless and bloodthirsty but no more so than any marauding tribes or armies during this time. They were just really successful at it because of their superior shipbuilding skills- the most advanced of the time. 100
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Yes-"Who went "a-viking". I've been correcting this for years! No such thing as a Viking unless they play on a football team in Minnesota. 010
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 18/12/2024There is no evidence. None of these articles have a shred of proof of anything against her or the J6 committee. The most damning claim is "Republicans assert..." which means nothing; their entire strategy is lie, accuse, discredit, misdirect, and repeat- ad nauseum. 100
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 17/12/2024No, it's not the same. You're out of your depth here. Go back to x where people don't know better. 000
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Pretty sure felon47 will soon mandate that no MSM can publish anything about future school shootings... Like he banned hospitals from collecting and reporting how many patients had Covid. 000
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Who is this stupid to believe that orange stain of a human would NOT seek 'revenge and retribution'? This is who he is. The idea of a pardon is so ridiculously wrong. 020
Maria @mariamapmaker.bsky.social · 13/12/2024A pardon wipes out the conviction as if it never happened. A commutation is a lesser sentencing, such as getting out of prison early. 000
