I am migrating Mastodon servers today. Mastodon.social is the place where many folks arrived to test out the experience, but for a variety of reasons it's not ideal for me. I'm going to take up permanent residence at wandering.shop, which was established by folks from the sci-fi/fantasy con community, and I like their vibe. I *think* all my follows will stay with me when I do this; let's see...
@elakdawalla Hey Emily, is this you at the 2002 MER landing site group meeting?

3 new planet trees. They have greater size contrast among the worlds than in my previous trees. Same bead selection, 35 worlds (Ceres & larger), planted 3 different ways: inside a geode, on a steel ring for wall hanging, and in a pot.

8 Planets Gemstone Necklaces - Etsy

This Beaded Necklaces item by elakdawalla has 3 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from Los Angeles, CA. Listed on Nov 25, 2022

Oh I’m so enamored of how this tree came out. Gemstone beads 2-18mm in diameter represent all worlds in solar system >900km (so, Ceres & bigger) I planted it in a geode and built a stand in back with polymer clay so it sits up and catches the light beautifully.

Anybody shopping today? Please consider buying my art and jewelry! My sales are way down this year compared to last because nobody from Europe seems to be buying; #inflation is hitting them (and therefore, me) hard.

Which means I'm not too busy. I love to create custom pieces. Want me to create a piece that has special significance for you or a loved one? Contact me!

Has anybody moved to a different Mastodon server? I'm trying to move (to Project Mushroom), and I'm running in to this problem. What am I doing wrong?
