Real Biblical leadership looks like serving others and raising up the lowly to stand beside you, not serving them to have an excuse to remain over them. “Lead” should not mean “boss” to the Christian, but to guide others who may be struggling to make it to the same mountain peak, not the spot just below you. #Bible #Christian #servantleader #biblicalleadership #biblicalmanhood #biblicalwomanhood #masculinity #femininity #genderroles #biblicalegalitarianism #egalitarian #mutuality #grownostr

Peach, strawberry, and pink pineapple on honeyed mascarpone is a prime early summer dessert! I’ve been curious about the pink pineapples for a while now. I’m glad I tried one; I love the color and something about the flavor is very slightly different than a regular pineapple, maybe slightly more “floral” if I had to name it, but not quite as richly pineappley as is possible, and otherwise not much different. Now I know that I’d personally rather have a perfectly ripe yellow pineapple that was organic (and still half as expensive). I’ll see what Sophia thinks when she wakes up, though 😊 #dessert #fruitstr #cooking #grownostr

Normally, when I bring wares home from the studio, I wrap them gently and place them carefully in a box or bag so nothing hard is touching them in the car. But I put this travel mug in the cup holder as proof of concept. Not only did it fit perfectly, but the lid didn’t even rattle at all except when I hit a pothole and a speed bump. I honestly had a really hard time stopping myself staring at it yesterday. It came out absolutely perfect. Now, I’m inspired to make more salmon scenes! Salmon are amazing travelers, migrating hundreds of miles across radically different environments, from river headwaters to salty ocean and back. I carved pink salmon on my first travel mug as a joyful reminder that you can always return home again, even if things are different, and as a hope for your safe travels. Of course, it’s also just perfect for fishing trips 😁 This travel mug is for #sale for $53 USD or the Bitcoin equivalent of $50.35 Shipping anywhere in the U.S. is the Bitcoin equivalent of $10. If you want multiple items, let me know, as shipping might not be double. Check #wrensnest to see if there’s something you like; it may still be for sale! Shipping to Canada is also possible, but you must agree beforehand to a TBD shipping price I will only know once it has been paid. #pottery #ceramics #clay #glaze #mug #travelmug #fish #fishtr #fishing #salmon #wrensnest #handmade #art #artstr #grownostr

It occurred to me just now that there’s a chance some of y’all might think I painted my own profile picture. I did not! It’s a detail of a painting I believe is called “Hebrews 2:14” by artist Full Of Eyes.

I am so excited to share with you my latest #bitcoin #mugs — and you can even help decide how they are glazed! To celebrate 100K, I wanted to do something special and make a motherboard-style Bitcoin mug. It took me until it reached 100K another time to finish the sliptrailing (granted, a lot of that time was me learning how to really draw the patterns and getting confident enough to commit to it). I’m so pleased with how they came out, and definitely want to do more! Not identical, they go together but are one of a kind. From the beginning, I envisioned that at least the outside would be glazed entirely in the gold glaze I have, which comes out a smooth, deep, rich, matte but metallic bronzey gold. This glaze is food safe so it could even be used for the inside of the mug, which would look gorgeous, but I usually shy away from using mattes directly on food surfaces even when food safe. So, I turn to you. What inside color do you think would be best? #poll #asknostr - matte metallic bronzey gold inside and out (- matte speckled metallic COPPER is also an option, both as an outside and inside color; see last photo though both glazes will be a little darker / browner than pictured) - use a golden brown shiny glaze inside to attempt to color-match the gold outside - black - starry glitter black - cream with peachy hints - white - Bitcoin orange - other Additionally, if you would like to commit to buying one or both of these mugs, I would not only certainly do your choice of inside color, but I could even glaze the outside differently for you. You can pick any of the colors I mentioned, even having the raised lines glazed differently from the background (will cost extra), or dm me to ask what other glazing options may be available. But you’ll have to move quickly because I will be deciding and glazing these soon. If the glazing is “simpler” as I described above, each mug will cost the Bitcoin equivalent of $57. #bitcoinonly for Bitcoin-related art! Shipping anywhere in the U.S. is the Bitcoin equivalent of $10. If you want both mugs or multiple items, let me know, as shipping might not be double.
