After stream I painted some leaves and then ran out of energy.
An unfinished painting of two scarlet tanagers on a white background. The female sits higher on the branch on the left side, with a mulberry in her beak. The male sits lower down on the same branch on the right side. He is looking up at the female. Five mulberries of varying ripeness and 2 leaves grow from the middle section of the branch between the two birds.

We did it! We are live!
Come learn about TARIFFS!
Inspired by Chick Tracts and Schoolhouse Rock (what a combination), we've tried to make a simple, accessible, readable explanation of tariffs.

Just here, taking my anxiety meds and working on pottery.
A small lidded container made with beige stoneware clay sits on a metal banding wheel. A mouse made of very dark grey looking clay is sculpted sitting on the lid. It is facing screen left and has it's little left paw lifted up off the surface. It's tail is visible wrapped around the side of the lid. Don't worry about the messy work desk in the background!

A small dark grey clay teapot in the shape of a gourd with a stem on the lid.

Taking more risks with porcelain.
A small greenware porcelain vase sitting on a banding wheel. It has porcelain morning glories wrapping around it with brown stoneware vines and leaves.

@kbspangler.com understands the proper way to emotionally support an artist.
A screenshot of two email summaries. The top, from Sarah with Tea, reads 'Behold my beautiful foklift'. Below K.B. Spangler replies 'Hail, forklife, hail!'.

It's time again to try to lighten the load a little. Here is a dragon that I'm PRETTY sure I drew for a pre-recorded video to give my patrons while I was on vacation.
A line drawing of a dragon - the kind with only 2 legs. It is standing using it's folded wings for balance. It's drawn in blue ink for some reason I no longer recall.

Maybe check on your trans friends today. Maybe also call your representatives and ...share your feelings.
I'm here trying to draw educational comics and bringing you tiny bits of weird joy (I am also ...sharing my feelings...with my representatives).
A tiny ink drawing of a row of three rain frogs. The middle one is facing the viewer. They are all frowning very fiercely. It is how they feel about their representatives right now.

I understand that my role in this whole thing is generally to try to cheer people up with silly little drawings.
A sketch of a burrowing owl peaking up over a wall as represented by a single line. It's a reference to a meme from before memes were cool.

Dear the internet, I was looking for something to bring you a little joy and I found...this weird little bird.
A rough sketch of a very unsettled looking potoo. On the bottom there is half a very round baby potoo sketch I couldn't be bothered to properly crop out.

I...spent almost the whole time adding scales....
An illustration of the head and a short bit of the body of a black snake on a pale yellow background. The snake details area outlined in white and it has yellow eyes.

Haven't brought these out since the Great Migration!
Swooping decorative typography that reads "why are you like this?" The WHY is very large and the 'are you like this' is nestled underneath in the swoop of the y.

May this screaming piha bring you holiday joy.
An black and white ink drawing of a screaming piha. It's wings have hands on the end and it is holding one up to scream louder, while wearing some draping scarf bits around its body. Just totally normal bird things.

I forgot how long it takes to add a bunch of pottery to the online shop. But at long last bowls, mugs, and some lidded jars are up online! sarahwithtea.com/shop

The shop will only be open this week. It will close after Friday so I can get everything shipped before the holidays.
A blue glazed mug on a white background. A gecko is sculpted wrapped around the side.

Good news for pottery in the online shop - sold mostly large items in person so lots of bowls and mugs will go up in the shop tomorrow!
Two mugs with birds as handles. They are glazed in a mottled mint green and red brown glaze that breaks over the details on the birds.

I don't know how everyone else feels but I've had a good time painting this thing. So seasonal!
A greyscale painting of a reindeer with a skull instead of a normal head. A glowing red orb floats above its nose cavity casting a soft red glow on the skull and antlers - the only color in the image.

Frog bowls are back for the holidays.
Four greenware bowls arranged in a square in a paper covered table. A little sculpture frog sits inside each peaking over the lip.

I had unpacked an order from @hellbendermuseum.bsky.social and was looking for a place to set it down for a minute while I tidied up and there was this convenient flat space right by the work table...
A small model of an asian water monitor lizard sits on a ceramic bisque ware plate. Curled around the edge of the plate, a large monitor lizard has been sculpted.

Made some birds for mugs.
Two clay greenware birds facing each other on a canvas work surface. They mirror each other and are waiting to be attacked to mugs as handles.

Just showing this to @kbspangler.com for no reason at all.
An ink drawing of a small Indian civet, sitting up on its hind legs with it's front paws folded against it's chest. It is wearing a tiny bow tie, vest and eye glasses.

I found this, from many years ago. And I believe it may have been an interpretation of @tkingfisher.com 's feelings at the time...
An ink drawing of a very exasperated wombat. It is sitting up, with its front paws dragging down it's cheeks, while it gazes up to the heavens praying for patience.

So lovable!
A painting of a possum sitting on a jack-o-lantern surrounded by gourds. It's tail is wrapped around the jack-o-lantern stem, and it is biting one of the gourds. Also, instead of a normal possum head, it's head is just a bare skull. It is still somehow lovable looking.

More foolishness with no context.
A black and white drawing of 2 emu. One emu is sitting on a nest made up of a large pile of left shoes of all sorts. The other is approaching with a shoe offering for the shoe pile. Peak emu romance.

I offer this with no more explanation than the alt text provides
A black and white cartoon drawing of a person looking at paint in an art store isle, with a bull moose standing directly behind them breathing down their neck. The person looks surprised. Apparently they just noticed the full grown moose behind them in the art supply store. The store is a Utrecht specifically because I miss them since Blick bought the chain.
