I'm slowly going to begin transitioning most of my social media presence over here. I know I'm just a pottery artist, but in case you're wondering, I am/believe:
Pro choice
Pro LGBTQ
Anti-fascist
Black Lives Matter
Trans rights are human rights

Hate has no place here.
And this is why I keep creating my silly pottery as the world burns around us. Creating refills my cup so I can continue. Art is Resistance.

My Cecropia moth teapot is finished! And damn it turned out beautiful!

I'm so pleased with it. I keep staring in awe that THIS PIECE was made by MY HANDS. 💜

Today on "She's Not A Manic Pixie, She's Just Neurodivergent":

I just spent 15 minutes info-dumping about infectious diseases to my manager. (I do not work in the Healthcare industry)

It was a SPECTACULAR kiln haul this past week! Look at all those GORGEOUS glazes.

I can't wait to sell these at the Eclectic Witch Market on May 25th. If you're in the #RVA area, please come see my booth!

I've started logging my commercial glaze combinations and their results in my camera roll in order to keep track of my progress (and hopefully recreate them!)
What's your favorite way to keep track? Which combos would you like to see?

I spent a couple of hours this weekend making some soon-to-be magnets and decorating them with slip. Each one has a unique design! They'll be available at the Eclectic Witch Market at Diversity Richmond on May 25th!

Studio owner/instructor said to me, "I got your mug out of the bisque today. I was about to glaze it because I thought it was one of mine, then I saw there was a possum on the bottom! Great job!"

Bug piddles in the floor
We go outside
She does no other business
She comes back with something in her mouth
I'm expecting a sweetgum ball, rock, or leaf

IT WAS A DEAD FROG

I'm loving all this puppy time, but I'm going through clay withdrawals!

I don't support deadnaming, but I'm still going to call it The Gulf of Mexico.

Welcome to Virginia. We're supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow tomorrow... and I hear treefrogs.
