Soulmate mug!
In Greek mythology people used to be born with two faces, four arms, and four legs. Zeus was jealous of their power and so he split them down the middle into people as we know today. Now people spend their lives searching for their other half.
Mug with a round orange circle on it. In the circle is a light blue drawing of a person with two faces, four arms, and four legs. It has a little spiral on the abdomen. Around the circle is a glaze called ‘moonscape’ that is a light blue with black speckles. The top of the mug is textured and glazed with copper colored glaze.

This is Gertrude. She’s the only thing keeping me sane right now.
A very cute face of a treeing walker coonhound named Gertrude

Continuing work on this sculptural pot. After this week in our country, this is feeling pretty autobiographical.
Greenware clay pot with a screaming face sculpted onto it. The face is painted with underglaze, while the rest of the pot is still bare clay.

I’m having so much trouble getting out of bed, or doing anything, really. This depression is conniving. So today I cuddled my pup, drank lots of coffee, and read LOTR where I know without a doubt that good will triumph over evil.
A photo of the book “The Return of the King” from Lord of the Rings trilogy, laying on top of a colorful striped blanket covering a sleeping dog. There is also a cup of coffee being held next to the book in a handmade mug.

This is my favorite mug right now, made for me by a fellow potter friend. The person on it reminds me to breathe and embrace myself as I am. #trans #loveyourself
Person (me) holding a blue mug with a nude trans person on it with a rainbow swirling around them.

Slowly getting back to work. These designs will be stained darker at the bisque stage.

Our joy will never be taken from us. #transrights
Hand holding a mug decorated with a line drawing of a nude trans person who has had top surgery and is holding their arms behind their head and looking serene with their eyes closed. They are surrounded by strawberries

I know this is an utterly boring pottery example, but these are my first two pots made back in the studio post carpal tunnel surgery and Covid! I’m taking a nap now, but super proud of myself!
Two just thrown clay pots on red bats. The left is a curved mug shape, the right is a small round vase.

I have a redwing blackbird tattoo, but secretly, downy woodpeckers are my fav ❤️ #pottery

Sgraffito hippo of black underglaze on while, unfired clay. It looks pissed.

Why is it the ugliest, simplest, most warped mugs end up being my favorite coffee cups?
Hand holding a grey, straight sided mug with a brown circle on the front. It’s not a pretty mug.

Cute coonhound in a mound of blankets with a blanket around her head and a doleful look. The words “I will not feel shame for resting” are below her

It’s all queer over here and I don’t give a HOOT if you don’t like it. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

An older mug that feels relevant now. (The other side was a Luna moth.)
Handmade mug that says “stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”

Throwback to this plate I made for last year’s holiday markets. I think my work is going to head in a different direction this year, but I do love my birds!
