Some (but not all) of the plate details for a recent custom order. I've found that when I'm making plates I'm never asked for a set of the "same". Usually I'm given a color pallette, in this case, a mix of green, blue, yellow, and brown and asked to make a bunch of random designs. This one was extra challenging since I don't use those colors all too often in my normal work, sooo I made a bunch extra to see which came out the best 😄 off they are to their new home to be loved!

It's been so long since I've made these platter trays. I finally mixed up some new colored slip for some transfer action. Here's hoping they come out as good as I remember #wip

Made for a friend who rolls so bad in our D&D sessions that she thinks she's cursed. So this mug is aptly named "the dice are trying to kill me".

Bawk, bawk. The pink is a little light on this clay and harder for me to capture in the light. But, who doesn't like chickens under the clouds?

In hindsight, maybe the stars should have been above the clouds, but whatever 🙃 I wasnt sure what to expect with these colors on this clay, but I like the outcome!

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year! (weeks later) Here

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year! (weeks later) Here's wishing everyone a better year than last, though it might take some time for the "good" to ramp up.
👋😊
Thank you for hanging around while I've been MIA. I apparently needed a few weeks off to recharge, which means hiding away from everyone and everything (except for my husband and dogs who aren't so lucky 😂).
I haven't made anything these past few weeks, but now I'm finally ready to get back to it! I'm excited to share some new things, and connect with all of you lovelies here. ❤️

Thank you everyone who has followed along with my

Thank you everyone who has followed along with my posting of pots this year, and to all of those who have purchased pots for yourselves and loved ones. I am flattered and humbled. You really contribute to making my crafting more fun.
❤️
I'll be taking a few weeks off from making, but am also excited to start the new year by playing around with some new things, like perfecting tea spouts, making homes for plants, and who knows what else. I'll also have a small shop update after the new year!
🎉🎊
Take care of yourselevs, love yourself and each other, spread joy and kindness, all of that. Also, if you're having a tough time, and need someone, anyone, I am always around to chat. I mean that.

A few weeks ago I did an art trade with the lovely @hyperspace_pandas, a mug for her mom, in return for a fox drawing. I saw one she did for inktober, and just loved it. So this is what she did for me! I've been bad with keeping up to date with things, but really its so overdue. Thank you for this, it brings a huge smile to my face every day. Art trades are the best!

Drinking tea at the table and feeling like a functional human. I just cleaned everything up and added some dried flowers from @stonecropfarmers to the mix. Organized my slew of "coasters" (that patiently wait for game night). What a good morning, I hope yours are all going well ❤️

Hello! Just saying hi since I've been quiet the last few weeks. Part of that was being a hermit and having some quiet relaxation time for the holiday, the other reason is that I've been making a bunch of stuff. Today I wanted to share a preview of the new thing-type I've been working on - teapots!!
🥳
I keep getting requests for these, and I've got to tell yah... they are not easy to make WELL and its a bit of a learning curve for me. Mainly getting the spout and flow dynamics right. I dont even know if these will make it, but dang, I'm giving it a good try.

I haven't made these in... Oooh a few years, but felt it was time again. Little cream or syrup pitchers. I love them, even if they're one of those items you can live without. Somehow... tea time just feels better with milk from a pot.

#nofilter Let the light shine onto this little cute tumbler in progress.

I know you're all here for the pots, but please, if you haven't already, get out and vote today! Then do something for yourself to take care of you. My self care today involves making pots, mixed in with playing scrabble and drinking wine. 😉

Let's see what happens during glaze firing! I'm experimenting with my soil pigment watercolors from @theartofsoil to see if they can serve in some pottery decoration. Perfect for this wood grain egg holder. Let this serve as my "before" photo.

Mugs are great and I love making them, but I think plates are underrated! I find a lot of joy mixing and matching plates to make unique sets for everyday use. Check out these pastel surfaces!
