Come on out to Resistor holiday market today until like 5 or 6. Downtown Brooklyn is a snowy winter wonderland and it's nice an warm and cozy up here at Resistor. Oh an there are a bunch of makers an crafters with their things that you can buy!

Enjoy the snow! I shall be selling pickles, and if you really want, neon lights. Oh an you can pick through the pickles in person and find the ideal one for hiding on a tree. Resistor has a ballpoint pen I can use to personalize your pickle tag!

I have been making more pickles, and got some super tiny 6mm tubing (they didn't have 8mm). These little pickles are gonna be much better for hiding on small trees- or for expert pickle finders.

Pickle game hard mode!

They are for sale at Urbanglass and you can even buy them and they can ship.

The listing on their webstore claims they are 2 inches, however some of these new pickles are even smaller and better for hiding.

I will be selling them in person at the Resistor Holiday Market for $50 each an you can pick the size you like. Sunday, December 14th at NYC Resistor in Brooklyn from noon to 6.

Someone asked on one of my bountiful flame harvest days why the pickles I make aren't shiny at first. I explained that the cucumbers have to be "pickled" (with silver) to become shiny ;)

Seeing the first holiday market invitations finally got me to do a thing I have been procrastinating since July.... make these little pickle ornaments.

I made the first one two years ago for my Mee Maw when her christmas pickle broke when her tree fell over and she couldn't find a small replacement one. The bigger replacement was so easy to find in the pickle hiding game, that she opted instead to use the old broken one for a few years.

So I took some of the Italian neon glass I know an love and made some lil tiny pickles. The more I make the better I get at making them. Now I wanna make more of them and silver the insides, but alas, holiday window season is rapidly approaching, and its neat to see some places using neon for their windows.

The smaller I make the pickles, the easier they are to hide on the tree for pickle game... and easier for me to ship :).

Alas, I got busy with commercial an artist neon fabrication jobs again, so I had to pause a little on the personal projects.
We again lost our CNC person at work and now, the new CNC person will be.... ME! I am quite excited to be learning and told my boss I would like to teach others and be just one CNC person rather than the "CNC guy"- I like to go on vacations an road trips.
I have lots of CNC projects AND the CNC takes practice so to build my skills I have top make some personal projects :) With my newfound CNC abilities, I have become interested in watching videos of people making acrylic channel letters. I even gave it a go with some of my torches. Gosh its gonna be fun to put neon in these! I think I am gonna make the word "antifa" in a script krypton (white lightning) crackle tube- an put it in this (or my second or third) acrylic channel letter.

Hooray for scraps!
