a wee little vase
A small bulb vase, easily the size of a fist, with graphite coloured speckles over a blur grey under glaze.

Got a kiln load back, my fave drips are in this slender vase. Shows off the throw lines too 😊 #pottery
Looking into a fluted, wheel thrown vase glazed in blue rutilr and dripped with green. Concentric circles that are the throw lines are visible inside. A blue rutile, fluted vase held in hand. Drips of glaze run down over the throw limes on the exterior.

'Windy Beaudry Park', 2025, acrylic on 16x24-inch canvas.

#painting #art
A vertical painting on canvas, depicting a windy riparian forest in the autumn. One main tree dominates the middle, its trunk and branches dark compared to the orange and yellow leaves. Other branches and leaves intrude on the left side, and fill the forest along the bottom. A bright blue sky creates a sharp contrast against the golden leaves.

Another autumn painting in progress, because I cannot resist mmm! Also of Beaudry Park trees. I love painting trees 😌

#art #wip #painting
A vertical painting in progress, with some vague tree trunks and patches of autumn coloured leaves. The next step of the painting, having the same trunk and trees, but now the sky behind it is a vibrant blue.

Here's an in progress of it. Might be tedious to some, but sculpting all the little bits was so satisfying! 😌
A canvas covered table with clay shapes cut out upon it, alongside numerous wooden sculpting tools. On the right is a half circle plaster mould with clay on it and sculpted, lobed shapes attached.

Plant shapes on a dome, I'll see how well it survives drying? Meant to hang on the wall.

I'll take more photos if it survives firing hah!
A roundish sculpture of clay moss or coral like lobes, overlapping each other and sculpted to give them depth and shape.

'Beaudry Park Autumn', 2025, acrylic on canvas.
#art #painting
A vertical acrylic painting of a riverside forest in the resplendent yellows and oranges of autumn. Dark tree trunks stand out and most lean left, as though shaped by prevailing winds. The blue sky behind makes the colours stand out even more.

'Fiddlehead', 2023, acrylic on 16x24-inch canvas.

Have this hanging up at home right now.

#art #painting
A painting of a macro view of a few centimetres of a fiddlehead, an ostritch fern leaf that is not yet unfurled. The stem bisects the canvas, away from which pinnules and pinna that make up the blade wrap away from the rachis stem. The entire painting is a vibrant green, and is detailed to show little hairs ans light glinting off tiny parts made large in paint. The painting rests on a wood canvas in a plain studio space.

'This too shall pass', 2021, ink on cardstock.

A phrase that is ever in my thoughts.
A small cardstock ink drawing of a sun with an eye in it, radiating a variety of abstract shapes. Within the rays is written this too shall pass.

Always love wheel throwing a butts mug. #art #ceramics
A wheel thrown mug held in hand. It has a brown orange tiger's eye glaze and raised oval upon it with the word 'Butts' in old timey font.

All of them together to show the variety and scale.
A collection of circular space rocks spread out on hardwood floor, alongside my leg. They are various sizes and colours, but none are larger than 30cm in diameter.

I am so eager to sculpt more space rocks, I have some new tools and colours to try.

But I have also been making patterns based on various plant shapes for incorporating into sculptures.

Two of them as example (I've made 8 sets of different ones so far). Excited to have so much prepped 🥰
A variety of squiggly, lobed moss-like shapes made from laminated cardstock are arranged on a hardwood floor. A collection of small branching patterns made of laminated cardstock, arranged on the floor.

I have too many favourites!
A small turquoise and grey space tock with a defined pattern of small dots trailing between larger sculpted craters. A large chartreuse crater dominates this sculpture, with similarly coloured spikes radiating outward from the crater. Teal and blue ridges and craters contrast against the bright green yellow. A small 'gas' space rock done in swirling and wavy greens, with grey clouds standing out against them. A small red and yellow space rock with numerous craters and a few small volcanoes.

A few of the space rocks back from the kiln. I am delighted 🥰

Next is sanding (why do so many arts need sanding??) and adding wires for hanging.
#ceramics #art
A small circular ceramic sculpture of a meteor impacting a watery planet. Impact waves in blue radiate out from the bright yellow impact. A small island with green mountains is on the left. A medium sized, circle ceramic sculpture of a large river delta branching out across a light green plain. The delta spawns from a small set of mountains, around which are a few purple craters. A circular grey and blue swirled space rock, marred with numerous craters of various depth and size. A small circular space rock featuring a bright, large crater at the top, from which various purple ridges squiggle down. The rest of the rock is red and orange, textured like rock to show off the colours.

'First Blush', 2023, in acrylics on canvas.

Definitely been hankering to do more macro paintings 😏
A vertical acrylic painting of one, irregular leaf that has begun to die in autumn. The left side is mottled browns and oranges, while the right still shows green in the veins. The serrated edged of the leaf are slightly backlit against a dark background.

Space rocks painted with underglaze. Hopefully I can clear glaze them tomorrow and get them fired over the weekend??

Colours will shift after firing, but I am really excited to see them 🥰 #space #ceramics #art

'Autumn Parkland', 2023, acrylics on 16x24-inch hardboard.
An acrylic painting of an aspen forest in late fall, all bare branches and white trunks. Long shadows, leaves, and dried underbrush create patterns beneath the canopy.

Sorting leaves with @shockwaver.bsky.social 🥰
A circle of leaves placed in layers and spokes, with maple seeds and yellow maple leaves in the middle, then brown rlm leaves, and then curled light brown leaves on the outer layer.

Painting space rocks with underglazes. Love this part so much 🥰

Colours will change some when glaze fired, but I hope they'll keep some vibrancy. And I will likely do more layers when they dry.

#wip #ceramics
A collection of various small, bisqued space rock circles rest on a piece of canvas. They are all sort of colours, blurs purples greens and more, that help yo accent the sculpting and craters.
