Yep, This is BRASS, Baby!

In Creative and Studio Life  •  by stacieflorer, March 15, 2026  •   Leave a Comment
I broke out my very old, dusty metal saw this week and had to watch a video or two to remember how to saw correctly. I also sliced off the tip of my thumb, but the skin is growing back nicely!

In Creative and Studio Life  •  by Stacie, August 31, 2025  •  
Over the years, my husband and I have gathered more things than we truly need. Recently, like TODAY, it became clear: it’s time to let some of it go. Instead of donating, we called a friend who has just started reselling at a few flea...

Yesterday, I went for a hike and decided to stop at a bench to take a break.  I noticed an ant on the bench, and my first instinct was to flick it away. I can’t tell you how much I abhor ants. But for some...

The Art of Asking Questions: Reviving Genuine Curiosity

I’m Stacie Florer, and I’m a jewelry designer, artist, writer, and Human Design guide drawn to the quiet work of crafting a life with intention. I believe paths are made, not found, and they are shaped through constraint, curiosity, and practice. This space is where art, reflection, and lived experience meet, with my hope in building something honest and usable.

I’m having so much fun working with brass! I’m add I’m having so much fun working with brass! I’m adding some sterling silver accents to these layered brass earrings and figured out a way to make the texture look like spun gold. I was watching the show, The Morning Show, and loved the look of Jennifer Anniston’s gold earrings she wore in an episode. Who can afford gold #earrings #earringsoftheday #earringdesigner #anymore? But I am pretty happy with these brass earrings and that rich golden color that catches the light. The trick with brass is to make it whisper thin…and get soft, organic edges. It takes me a minute to saw them out and to then get this soft look but it’s worth the time! Available in my shop!

I also installed a pull-up bar and did my hangs this morning. I’m making progress and am now able to hang and pull up about 3 inches. I saw a video describing the correct way to engage my shoulders by pretending I’m trying to snap a stick above my head. Instantly made my attempts more productive. I also got my hair cut in a long shag relaxing my NOW curly hair. I wore a shag when I was a little girl so definitely feeling a cycle again since I’m also hanging off a handle bar in my off time too. I read yesterday that if you can do deep seated squats, crawl on the floor and hang with your body weight you will be fit as a fiddle into your 90’s. That seems doable! I’m having so much fun changing my body to be strong and capable of carrying me into old age. Also, in my 59th year I’ve noticed this is the year where my collagen in my skin has turned to shit. That’s another story for another post. Otherwise, aging is pretty fun!
