Decorating some sweet little fox wall altars. I never have a plan, it just kind of happens as we go! My first altars featured the carved texture I love, but these shapes are just so perfect to highlight lil' cuties like this.

Ah, the sweet sweet smell of roasting clay (ok, so there's actually no smell at this temp). Sometimes when I want to dry small things really fast, they go in the oven. Just a few hours at 170°F and they can join the others in the big kiln.

The reason I'm touching my face to the pumpkin is because its easier for me to tell whether its dry. If it feels cold at all, then the piece still has some moisture in it. Of course in this case, the pieces have to cool from the oven first, but this works for me more often than not.

This is what happens when you have no creative energy to make a reel, but you need to post a thing. For real though, I'm psyched about the calendar and all of the exciting events coming up. It's busy, but hands down my fav time of year!

Also didnt realize that while trimming this mug that the giffin grip wasn't level. Assumed I threw a wonky mug 😅 #widowsbay

New thing alert. Tiny altars, fresh from the studio. Will these be available individually? Probably.

Is there perhaps another reason I suddenly need to make a whole bunch of them?

I’ll give you 12 guesses 👀

I love this. LOVE. I love how how fast and easy IT is to update. Best or in the top 3 things I've ever made.

All I'm using is some hand sanitizer to wipe away the old sharpie. Plates get moved up and the new one goes to the bottom. Perfection. The only snafu was having to move inside because it started to rain.

Totally new glazes and old glazes in new combos. Mostly warm colors for the end of summer into fall. I can't say that I have a favorite, I love them all in their own ways. Just like the seasons!

Using my clay scraps from mug making to create these little pumpkins. I love love looooove the fall season. 🍁🍂🎃

I am really excited for this year's calendars and making this a tradition for myself and my people. Please feel free to DM with any questions!

Thank you for bearing with my break from the spooky and other stuff to get this out. While it pains me to be thinking of Dec, doing this NOW saves me so much time, and really allows for me to have the time to knock it outta the park.

Ya'll are the best 😊

Only a little snafu on getting these up! I hope you love them as much as I do! 💀😈👻👽

Oh, Etsy shop link is up in my bio, and don't forget, if you're local to the NRV, use NRVLOCAL if yout want to do local pickup and save on shipping.

Spooky drop coming to my shop this weekend. I'm aiming for Fri night, but pending time constraints, it might have to be moved to Sat. I've got spooky movies mugs (IT, The Shining, Scream, Jaws, The Last Unicorn), skulls, tarot, ravens, alien stuff... many things. These are just some of the pieces.

Also, I am SO PLEASED with how some of these came out - several of the movie pieces feature transfers that I made and screenprinted myself (process video inc) but I also incorporated some designs from my favs:

TIS THE SPOOKY SEASON 💀👻🤡👽

Random vid of a sweet tarot mug I glazed this week. One cut, not sped up, and my arm definitely in the way.

Currently (impatiently) waiting for the kiln to cool enough to unload and see how it turned out. Spooky preview tomorrow for a small shop update this Friday (9/11).

Sometimes I have those moments where I get caught

Sometimes I have those moments where I get caught up in this thought "my life wasn't supposed to be this". Yeah that's a semi-downer, but there is a silver lining, and you get a little Odd Fox (Stephanie) lore.

Ceramics was my grad school side gig, one I loved. I was glad to defend my PhD and get the job. I looked forward to stability, better income, a whole future I'd envisioned and worked hard for. I wanted to be a Fed - serve people, work with soil, and protect the land. Then suddenly that version of reality was gone, and in a really messy way.

Now I spend my days making pottery, watching the continual damage being done to our science, and very very recently to my remaining soil peeps working in the NRCS. I worry about our farmers and agriculture and dread the future. It is sad.

But here's the silver lining, at least in my personal life... with the sadness in these moments I am also sooo grateful that I have this craft. I have the joy of making work and the greater joy of connecting with people.

Not everyday is doom and gloom. Today was just a blip of a moment. I might get back to soil at some point in the future, in some ways I'm already there, but in a different light. Right now, this feels stable and healing in a whole bunch of ways, so I'm rolling with it. Ty for being here ❤️‍🩹❤️
