About to head over to Greenpoint Open Studios to see some art by my pal Emily, who makes Weird and Beautiful Maps of imaginary spaces and topologies: https://greenpointopenstudios.com/artists/emily-garfield-2024/

Hoping to see some other artists too! The event runs until 6 PM today. I don't think I’ve ever knowingly visited Greenpoint before?!

Some shots from me hand making fancy lightbulbs to sell fancy things to fancier people on a nearby overcrowded castle surrounded by a moat :)

The Novial yellow Italian glass is really nice, but it's thin- so it cools off faster, and is more crackative. Make those bends perfect!

The yellow glass turns red when it's hot- so you can see the last bends.

Two N s here are in the name of the castle. Laid out slightly differently. Can you spot the difference between them?

A closed N with my anti fatigue mats and ribbon burner with puffy flame in the background
The N on the pattern two heats later. Gotta close it up with two more bends after this. You can see my pencil, block, file an pattern in the background. Not many tools used
Second N. Ribbon burner puffy flame in the background. The puffy flame is gentle- and good for heating a large area up. It's nice for pre or post heating tight bends on this very expensive glass that likes to crack when reheated.

I first saw BLOB DYLAN graffiti when I visited Bushwick, Brooklyn, in January 2021. Despite being a life-long resident of Brooklyn, that was only the second time I had been to Bushwick. I did not see any more BLOB DYLAN's prior to May 26, 2024, when I crossed into Bushwick for the third time. I was on about mile 18 of what would end up being a 22.6 mile walk, but that did not stop me from documenting my first BLOB in more than three years.

(Note: I was not 100% sure whether this was in Bushwick or Ridgewood until I checked a map. Fortunately, I made note of the fact I found BLOB at the intersection of Wycoff and DeKalb Avenues.)

My last public appearance of the season is this Saturday, June 1st!

Join me for a "Pollinator Safari / Walkabout" from 1-3pm at the East 4th Street Community Garden in Kensington, Brooklyn:

"We'll "hunt" for pollinators, and other flower visitors,around the garden. As we try to identify them, we'll learn about the garden’s biodiversity and ecology."

I came across this charming car with a cherry blossom design in the heart of Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn, New York CIty. The find was fitting since there were many cherry blossom trees in the area when I stumbled upon the car on April 23, 2024.

Some plants today. Our snake plant at home has been blooming. It's fragrant flowers are dripping with nectar- but since they are indoors, no hummingbirds or bees to slurp it up. Also the plant next to the snake plant is also taking off since I have been watering it so much.

At BrooklynGlass I went to get some neon tubes this morning and saw this neon tube double vase. I should really pitch a quick one day intro class just making lil vases like this out of tubing- so fun!

5 points to anyone who can tell me what the plant next to the spider plant is?

Actually @alifeeney calls it a "money plant". 5 points to her!

First, the #beagle & I did 3.7 miles, and saw a sweet baby squirrel w/its momma. Then I had a great #run today, good distance, great pace, had a solid sprint at the end, everything about it was great.

Except I had one of those awful #runners experiences: a fly, flew into my mouth, straight to the back of my throat.

Three minutes of coughing and whatever managed to dislodge it, but ugh was that awful.

Found myself behind the Bergen Bike Bus on my way to work this morning. It’s such a cool thing these parents are doing. Everyone having fun. Great vibes.

Parents and kids riding to school in a big group.

Just discovered one of my coworkers who drives to work actually gets here an hour early just to find a #parking spot. Says he just sits and waits for work to start. Claims to need a #car because the train takes too long. #carbrain #Brooklyn

Just a typical #commute to work in #Brooklyn where a #bikelane is considered more #parking
