Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You don't need to be a big steampunk fan to admire the skill in Susan Beatrice's miniature sculptures and jewellery.
The New Jersey-based artist makes her beautiful pieces from recycled vintage watch parts that appeal to lovers of the 19th century industrial era.
Beatrice is a woman of several talents and is also a sand sculptor and painter. She "celebrates nature" in her intricate creations and experiments with sea glass, stones and other natural elements.
Animals are often Beatrice's subject matter of choice, as she enjoys using lifeless scraps of metal to make everything from magical dragons and fairies to delicate seahorses and little mice eating cheese.
Beatrice runs a blog, All Natural Arts, where she displays her best artworks, many of which fit into the palm of her hand. She takes commissions, so if you like what you see, you can get in touch to enquire about pricing.
