My lease here is up in Apr and it’s almost time to make another move. My current roommate is moving out in Jan and I will need to carry an extra $900/mo for the next two mos. I also need at least $4800 to pay for the new place. Read more on the campaign page. Donos and shares both appreciated 🙏💜

I've got to start saving up for that goose.
You can commission me ✌️

This is the kind of thing I do.

You can share that post to help me, if you want 🙏

I've been working on a gallery page for www.eclecticclay.com, for those who want to see my work without all the social media-ness. It's been fun to look back at past pieces, like Cecil!

Incidentally, the propeller spins. Remember, I'm the master of overkill.

*school bus departs*

All right, let's get this year started, at least business-wise.

Excited/alarmed to realize I will be at @ane.boston in a week and a half! You can find me and all my clay shenanigans at D32. My booth looks like this!

Pre-orders for the VALENTINE'S DAY KOBOLD HEART HOARDS are OPEN!! It's $25 for 10 hearts from my Big Heart Stash that I've been making for the past few weeks with various other goodies available as add-ons. I'm going to talk a little bit about the project in thread.

I present to you - things I made at the end of the year that weren't polymer clay!

A ceramic spoon rest - his name is Henri, and he has a little lily-pad shaped green beret. Henri is not very good at his job. His tongue keeps pushing the spoon out on the counter.

Bad news, all - the video where the robot nails the guy in the groin isn't real, just another generative hallucination.

The year has been complicated. I hope everyone can find a little peace at its ending. 🎄❤️

I love a good Mari!
Merry Solstice! Today marks the shortest day and longest night so I thought it would be the perfect day to share my finished Mari Lwyd mask. I’m over the moon with how she turned out. 🔔

I am not the only artist working on a Brother Gregor and this brings me SO MUCH JOY.
maybe this is what finally inspires me to start working again on the half finished brother gregor doll that's been sitting sadly on my desk for like 2 years now

Progress has slowed due to rolling power outages yesterday and the start of school vacation, but here's some Brother Gregor progress!

A perfect demonstration of "trust the process."

Oh yeah, we're still refilling the cup, aren't we?

Sometimes it helps to make fan art! Here's day one of my Brother Gregor sculpt. Thank you, @ascalaphid.com, for the inspiration!

🧵So, for anyone interested in my AI battle with the school, I met yesterday morning with the principal and tech director for the district. Here's the good:

Encouraged AI usage is not happening across the board, and the incidents my kid's been telling me about are isolated. Many teachers are pissed.

This is it; this book literally made me the artist I am today. Holy hell, I'd forgotten what it was called!

First meeting today with the school principal and district technical director. I carry with me the souls of a million angry creatives.
Good morning to everyone except my child's ELA teacher, who encouraged student to use AI in a recent assignment and is about to get a VERY angry email.

Part two of refilling my cup is finding more art.

This is one of those pieces where I could feel my heart swell as my eye followed the movement of the clouds. For just a moment, all that exists is the piece, and I feel like some unseen part of myself is floating.

This week, I'm trying to fill my cup back up after an insane year.

First, I'm decorating. These little felt guys have been with me since childhood. This year, they are Sheep Riders.

A little last-minute ornament for a customer whose email went missing last year - the oinkstronaut!

I also really need to restock these, I'm down to a bunny and an otter.
