Ceramic artist, silly lady, queer and ttrpg player. I am a humanist and I have an interest in nature - all of it (birds are my favorite though). Former wildlife biologist and corporate drone. I have a chronic illness so no more 'real' jobs - self employed.
Been making little box dioramas with my miniatures. One of my favorite authors, the quote is unfortunately topical from a book about eugenics. The dinosaur is a reference to another of his books. #mixedmedia #art

Here is my dog Kazzy. I am supposed to be making art but I am instead online talking to people. Which has resulted in nothing but sadness because complicated thoughts are impossible in a short format. She's a cute dog though. I am going to go make things. #dogsofbluesky #dog #mutt #cattledogcross

@optimisticsoap.bsky.social I am having problems concentrating on work, self care and care of others. I remembered I had this card from an order of yours. So I am going to leave it on my keyboard to remind myself that the work of an artist is about love. Have courage. #inspire #dontgiveup

I had the opportunity to go to Chaco Culture National Historical Park. It is amazing and a precious link to the living Pueblo culture (and beyond) in the SW. It is in dire need of protection from the avarice of our current administration. #nationalparks #whatwestandtolose #resist

Thinking of better and much warmer times in April of 2024 in Robinson Park, Albuquerque for the Saturday Grower's Market. I have a lot of trepidation for what this year will hold, but at least there shall be sunshine. #albuquerque #newmexico #farmersmarket #art #ceramic

Hey, I feel like posting today. I did cold finish acrylics on this paper clay mask today. She's hopefully going to a gallery even though I feel like it's an ugly piece and I did it in a fit of despair for everything. Read the alt text for the full description. #art #ceramic #climatechange

Hello! Busy holiday? Don't forget your self care. Sunday is when I organize my meds for the week. Remember to take it easy and don't spend your time with bad company. #chronicillness #selfcare #takeiteasy #spondylitis

My last inperson game in May. I was hoping to run something over the holidays but my friends didn't take any time off. I built the table by salvaging old furniture and of course I painted/made all the models. Miss this a lot. #ttrpg #inperson #gametable #fantasyminiature

Been nice to paint a few things. This is a resin print I bought a couple years ago. It kept breaking so I pieced it back together and I decided to play more on fish than dragon - love a tricolor koi! #fantasyminiature #miniature #koi #dragon #dragonfish #ttrpg

Critical role had a nice sale on a set of monsters and so I treated myself to this gear warden - I had to dip it in boiling water to position the blades and repainted it. It is now ready to haunt my friends. #fantasyminiature #criticalrole #dnd #ttrpg #monster

"Why don't you sell more online?" Shipping has gotten worse. It's more expensive and things are getting lost and broken more often. This commission piece. I am very upset. I have shipped 5k things with very few breakages. I know I packed this well but it didn't help. #ceramic #etsy #art #sadartist

I think Mia is a pretty clever dog. However her bone hiding skills leave something to be desired. This is located right outside the back door and she took about ten minutes 'burying' her treasure in two twigs and some dust bunnies. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #hidden #doglogic
