Just a totally normal and definitely not haunted mug 😌

First one is inspired by auroras and the night sky, second one by foggy forests and historical cemeteries! I love how both glaze combinations look so much!!!

Kind of devastated by how many of these mugs I lost (I only have 3/8 I originally threw 😭 it was a learning experience, 2/8 I trimmed too deep, 2/8 cracked in a way I know I can fix by doing things a bit differently, and 1 was just bad luck) but the ones I did save are cuuute

A small porcelain trinket dish depicting a painted pigeon eating a large piece of popcorn is placed on an open book. There are paper flowers and dried grass strewn around the dish. A dark pink trinket dish depicts two lovebirds facing each other, but instead of regular face markings, their skull is visible. On the dish, around the birds, there is a border with hearts in a motif inspired by art nouveau. The porcelain dish is placed on an open book. A printed copy of the art on the trinket dish is cut out and placed below the dish, on the book. Behind the trinket dish, there are some pink and white roses.

Just realized I never shared these here! I'll be making more of the cat alcove and Blood of my enemies mugs this year for sure; the other designs are free handed so the ones I make vary with the inspiration of the moment. 🖌️🏺☕🧶

What’s your “no one but me remembers" game?

I asked for a PS3 in 2007 entirely because I wanted to play Folklore.
The cover of the PlayStation 3 game, Folklore. It is very purple, its title is in the center of the image, and the two main characters are in the middle. On the bottom are various creepy monsters.

I want to start using bluesky more, but it's hard to figure out a new social media! If y'all have any tips let me know!

Anyway, I mostly make #pottery these days, and my incense burners topped with ghosts are some of my favorite pieces to make and show off 👻

On the outer edges of the plate, there are mossy gravestones; three behind, and one above. The plate's colors are muted and green tinged. The plate rests on an open book, and behind, there is pink rose decor. A round porcelain incense burner plate, about the size of a teacup plate, with a porcelain ghost deposited in the center.
