Hey Mastodon! I'm an indie jewelry artist out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I have a PRIDE COLLECTION! I focus on fused glass but I have a bunch of other stuff, including gemstone jewelry, as well. https://www.nora.jewelry/

Shares are appreciated, I'm hurting for reach because Twitter sucks now.
