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!

More egg trays!! Though I poked a small hole in the Priestess card on my tarot tray 😢 I really prefer these on the white stoneware versus the buff clay. I have a few more trays in the works, but want ti experiment woth underglaze painting and even trying my soil pigments from @theartofsoil! Yes for experiments! It also goes to note that these transfers are all from @elantransfers, my main go to for sweet designs.

These little nerikomi style dishes will be coming

These little nerikomi style dishes will be coming up in my shop tomorrow for #craftanddraft2020.

I haven't made these in a while since it is one of the more time consuming methods, and I just haven't been working in the community studio (mostly preferring to be a stay at home hermit amidst covid).

But... I found a little time to bust out some smaller babes. For these, I colored my own clay with stains and then pressed the pink and green to layer with the base white clay. Pieces were extruded and cut into chunks (about 150 pieces), sorted into color groups, arranged and assembled into a larger slab, rolled out to compress, and finally cut into some small dish forms. After bisque firing they all get sanded very well to remove some smearing from the assembly step. This is probably my favorite step because it reveals the beauty of the pattern so clearly 😀

Underglaze transfers are a new thing for me, and are something I'm just really enjoying in the moment. While I'd love to branch out in the future and make my own design, the ones I currently have on hand come from other wonderful artists. These two designs were purchased from @isla_transfers. The first two mugs use a design made by one of my favorite potters: @catiemillerceramics, and the "fox" pattern in the third photo, which I am drawn to for obvious reasons, is from the Isla crew.

I love transfers, but find that I struggle some with not wanting to inadvertantly copy someone's work. If you like this design, I highly recommend checking out Catie's work, it is so bright, unique, and whimsical 🤩

Find these beauts on my Etsy shop for #craftanddraft2020 starting Oct 22nd!
