I have no idea what I’m going to do with a random cat head. Bottle stopper? Puppet head? Sometimes the clay wants to be something and I just let it happen.

The citrus trees are done blooming, but the smells keep coming.

I just wanted to try to sculpt a coyote nose while thinking about what to make for my first project in a new community ceramics studio, and this happened. Let’s hope the kiln is good to him.

I found this in a thrifted in animal behavior book I bought. The first was so relatable - remember trying to keep the quadrants straight at first? - but this permanent inscription is going to drive me insane. I may add an “are.” #dogs #learningtheory

I managed to live around LA for ten years before finally getting to Catalina. Totally worth the wait for this glorious photo of a Catalina Island Fox. ❤️

A coyote with a poorly healed broken leg has been frequenting my front yard for two years now, and I wonder all the time what happened. She’s still incredibly fast on three good legs.

My husband will love that my first post here is a photo of that time a fish tried to evade a penguin by swimming into his armpit.
