Took down the mast that was holding up one end of my end fed today. These are the clamps that clamped the mast to a steel fence post. They securely held it up for many years and I highly recommend them. I don't remember where I got them, but it was some company that sells TV antenna masts and associated hardware.

I just cleaned all the spider webs, dirt, and dead insects out of them and wiped them down with WD-40. Now they're ready to go again at the new home.

Beadwork! Right shoulder is done!

Every bead was hand stitched.

I decided that simplicity in the bugle beads is best to show off the leaves. Was also closer to what I've seen on period garments for this style.

Some parts I pulled out 4 times to get right.

I’ve been experimenting with classic flowerpot shapes, like these, inspired by Roman vases. They make a great base for painting or decorating with mosaic tiles for a personalized touch. With heights from 100 to 300 mm and diameters from 175 to 400 mm, there’s bound to be one that fits your printer!

FYI Canada: This would be an *exceptionally* good time to do something like this with infosec employees

If nothing else I suspect your government could leapfrog up several rungs in the nation-state infosec rankings instantly just by doing targeted hiring from the reported mass firings of queer employees of letter agencies
