He is holding a messing peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and jam and jelly are all over his overalls and face. In the background you can see a yard with a large red trampoline. Clay sculpture featuring two garden eels - one orange with white stripes, one light blue with dark blue spots. Their yellow eyes are wide and they look very anxious. They are "planted" in clay sand along with green and maroon coral. The sculpture is inside a green teacup with a floral pattern. Clay sculpture of s black long-haired daschund with brown spots over his eyes, on his nose, and on his feet. He wears a red cape with a black SF and outline of a cartoon dog bone. The figure is mounted on a finished wooden base engraved with the text "Ready McFreddy." Clay sculpture of a tan anthropomorphic clay griffin with green eyes and outstretched wings with golden feathers.

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.

Clay sculpture of a tan dog, completely nude but without genitalia. He has a bright red nose and wears flight goggles. Strapped to his torso is a single large propeller, and he is poised as if about to take off on a finished wooden base.

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!
Photo of Eclectic Clay's booth setup, featuring lots of colorful clay characters and a large banner with an anthro cardinal at the center of an adventuring group. Nina is behind the table, on their phone. How very millennial of them.

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.
A ceramic toad with brown skin and yellow eyes. He is entirely head, with a wide open mouth. A dirty spatula is resting partly in his mouth, but it appears to be falling 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."

Original art by @ascalaphid.com
WIP clay sculpture of a gharial. The head is finished and painted, but the body is just a tall, brown blob. The figure is held by a white person's hand in front of a lilac background. The same sculpture of a messy art table covered in clay, tools, and wire. In front of the figure is an incomplete tail.

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!
Incomplete clay sculpture of a gharial head - a long-nosed, alligator-like creature with a prominent row of small, sharp teeth. The sculpt has olive green skin and a yellow eye. You can see tinfoil and a wire protruding from the neck. The head is held by a white person's hand in front of a lilac background. The sketch inspiration for the sculpt - an ink drawing of a gharial in a monk's robe with his long tail curling around him.

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.

Oval shaped painting made with acrylic markers depicting an animal shaped ancient water jug. The colors of the jug are light brown, red, yellow and black with light blue water which is coming from the animals mouth. The water also comes from the back where there is an opening. The jug is decorative with random patterns and a big red flower in the middle of it. The background is white with yellow flowers and water droplets.

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.
Clay ornament of a pig with green eyes in a red and gold retro-style spacesuit with a clear bubble helmet. The helmet is made from a clear ornament globe. The pig's arms and legs are out as if weightless, and the ornament is suspended from a white and silver ribbon in front of a snowy forest.
