I'm an artist creating unique and colorful majolica pottery most of the time while also painting watercolor gouaches. And looking at nature. You can find my pottery at https://claylickcreekpottery.etsy.com
New things from the kiln. If you are in the Canton IL area, kin be at the Art On Main Show.

A couple small gouaches. They look so much more professional in a frame😂🥰

My kiln isn't all the way filled, and it's mainly littles, like ornaments and little dishes (plus the group of bowls, yay! For all y'all who asked for them, and Otto Otter Jar) cross your fingers that they work. And cross your fingers that I did an okay to finally get back to throwing. Follow up Wed

One last critter jar from last year, which is perfect to decorate today. What can happy otter's name be?

This isn’t a coincidence, it’s a movement. Together we’ve turned frustration into action, silence into strategy, and momentum into real change. We’re just getting started.

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service.

Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class.

We cannot let it happen.

Wyoming Republicans have banned so-called “compelled speech” regarding pronouns. No one, they proclaimed, should be forced to use someone’s preferred pronouns. And yet, when Senate Chairman Tim French was addressed as “Madam Chairman”, he was not pleased. Not one bit.

The list of cancelled contracts reads like “I don’t know what this is but it *sounds* silly so we cut it.” Just total lizard-brain thinking 😡

Good news , not so good news. Weekly follow up of my recent eye surgery....my eye is healing nicely, but I won't be able to throw anything for 6-8 weeks ☹️ maybe I'll do some hand building and more watercolors.
