This piece represents years of work, experimentation and collaboration. I'm so happy with the outcome and wanted to share the results. A few of the flowers were made by my son's friend and intern, Noah Lester, an amazing artist in their own right.

If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today.

Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

To avoid the news, I finished a scarf that had been sitting around for a while. It's too hot to wear it now but ready for fall. Knitting has been a bit painful lately but trigger finger release in July should cure that problem. Cotton/Acrylic/Nylon.

Prior to the recent Hamas vs Israel war there were popular mass protests against Hamas, Palestinians were demanding better governance; standing up against corruption. The Oct 7 attacks and subsequent Israeli mass destruction completely stopped that movement. Now it’s back, mass protests in Gaza.

The teapot show @nceca was amazing, as usual. Here's a sampling.

NCECA 2025 is over but I'll be thinking about what I saw and the people I met for a long time. Arts are good for the soul.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility
In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

April 25 1933: With astonishing speed just 1 month after passage of the Enabling Act, the German government issues the "Law against Overcrowding in Schools and Higher Education." Though the law's title was ambiguous, its aim was to remove all foreign and Jewish students. Institutions fell into line.

New design. Flowers and tree bark. Should this be functional or decorative? The decision will affect which glaze I choose.

Getting some art inspo at the Morgan Library and Museum in Manhattan. If you haven't been, GO! The connection is amazing!

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.
