Me: I’m going to make animals that most people get excited about

Also me: that’s nice let’s make a mountain goat cup
A grey clay cup with a geometric mountain goat on it, facing forward, standing on a mountain. Unfinished.

I don’t care that everyone else has made #climbing #mugs I had to make some too

#pottery
Set of 3 climbing mugs, made of speckled clay. There are lines carved into them imitating the walls, and various climbing holds attached to the exterior of the mugs.

I was not at all sure if the texture would translate when I put it on but was I was painting it all I could tell it’s gonna be 😘

Today’s @ologies.bsky.social was all about rattlesnakes and of course it derailed all my plans for the studio today

A little guy
A very, very small ceramic bird on a log. The bird is an off white clay with tiny black eyes and a beak. The frame is zoomed all the way out to exaggerate how tiny that bird is compared to the log.

I am slightly ashamed to admit that I did not purchase a single sticker specifically to put on this box: this is all stickers that were already waiting around to be put on things. Some for years.

Yes I still have more. 😅
A small black toolbox that is covered in a wide variety of colourful stickers.

Whenever it’s not clear what kind of pot you’re taking a picture of, just put a spider plant baby in it

#ceramics #pottery
Two hanging wall planters hung from black rope. They look a little like leather pouches; they are speckled yellow ceramic with black carvings. There are snake plants in them.

It’s all about her
A black cat stands amidst a collection of pottery pieces stacked on the floor. There is a wooden board and a piece of tree stump on the floor as well. A cell phone tripod is on the floor. There are beams of light coming from the top of the photo and the cat is looking up and to the right of the picture.

real quick you gotta look at my boy

A picture of a small raccoon ceramic figurine holding two knives. It has a dark green fabric cloak wrapped around its shoulders. Photo is informal: there is a bag, a pair of scissors, and a dog leash on the table with the figurine.

I realized that my market tables just don’t have enough dragons on them so I made some

#dragons #ceramics #sculpture
6 small grey clay dragons with cute faces. They each have a pair of nubby horns and curling tails

Me, every single time I’m sculpting an animal head: oh my god it looks so weird why does it look so weird

Me, after putting ears on it: oh never mind it’s actually fine

#sculpture #clay
Four small red clay figures in progress. They are tall, slim, conical bodies with fox heads. They have no eyes or noses yet; only one has ears.

Rogue raccoons are out of the kiln!

One has a bad tail crack, another a middling tail crack, and two are in perfect shape. Yes they’re all getting teeny tiny little cloaks.

#raccoon #ceramics #ttrpg
Four ceramic raccoons on a brown table. Each is holding a set of tiny knives. They look like stuffed animals with carved stitching and expressive faces. Two of the same raccoons, zoomed in. Two more of the same raccoons, zoomed in.

Forgive all the plastic in the background but they’re too cute I have to share

#ceramics #sculpture #raccoon
Four tiny raccoon sculptures holding little knives. Their fluffy tails are curled around them and they have whimsical expressions. There’s also a lot of mess and such in the background.

First attempt at this style of mug: finally getting the hang of this throwing thing. Maybe not the painting thing but I did have fun.

Couldn’t enter this teapot into a competition because of a surface crack, but my mom was so charmed by it she cleared off a shelf for it at like 7pm

The first #sculpture I ever made (grade 5 option) was a #unicorn that I painted a horrible green with flowers all over; been considering how to approach a second attempt for a while now. I hope it’s got enough ✨glam✨

Ceramic unicorn standing on a wooden stump and a wooden background. It is white, with voluminous purple mane and tail. Its eyes are closed and there is a touch of pink blush on its cheeks.

All I have to offer in these trying times are tiny #mice holding tiny swords and shields
