Kristie
@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot  ·  activity timestamp 3 months ago

I am beyond pleased to share that I am featured in the latest issue of the world renowned Smithsonian Magazine (July/August 2025).

To see my drystone work, and my voice, recognised, and to take up space in a field where women are still few and far between, means more than I can say.

I was so proud to show my daughters this.
