After finishing some tasks and the delivery of an important work in commission last week, my new year started at 01-02-2025!
It's time to work out new plans, #workshops, #masterclasses, #courses...
As a start of this year I worked on this #vortexXL design, this time #gilded with leaf metal, as a base for #3Dembroidery, #beadembroidery #coralembroidery with #goldworkembroidery #goldwork and #broderiedart

The playbook that Jeff #Bezos, #Musk, and others have relied on isn’t new.
More than a century ago, the railroad tycoons of the #Gilded #Age enticed towns to hand them favorable deals in exchange for laying lines that passed through their communities.
The supposed benefits of these projects rarely materialized:
Many of the promised tracks were never completed, or the routes were discontinued soon after their construction.
Worse yet, the towns often had to impose steep new #taxes to offset the #incentives, triggering a wave of municipal defaults.
The trend of unmet promises by corporate titans has continued into the present day.
#Tesla’s Buffalo plant has created just 54 cents of economic benefit for every subsidy dollar the state invested, a state audit found;
the initial contract has been amended several times, extending completion dates and reducing employment targets.
#Amazon announced it was pausing construction on the second phase of its Virginia headquarters.
According to the governor’s office, the number of Wisconsin jobs #Foxconn initially promised to create has dwindled by 89 percent.
And then there is Boca Chica’s Starbase.
