Check out this drama queen on a mug! These creature mugs are so weirdly expressive, they kind of feel alive to me??

Anyways, I want to make more things with soul like this moody mug. Got suggestions?

Dreamy blue glaze appreciation post!!

I get lost in this glaze, it's just so magical to me. I think I'll need to revisit her very soon, any suggestions on what this glaze would look good??

I love picking a nice colour pen to sign my prints with, I think this dark purple goes so well with the bright red of the print! What do you think?

Took me a little while to get this one right, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I love that digital drawing has made it easier for me to get the results I want & gives me space to change my mind many, many times 🙃

Stickers!! I haven't made stickers in ages, so it definitely time to revisit them. These stickers are glossy and vibrant and have a beautiful texture, I'm really excited about them 🌞 link in bio

I've been painting & drawing one-eyed creatures for a while now, so I thought it was time to sculpt! They're so cute on these mugs. Stay tuned for glazing & the finished looks!

Each mug will have a unique design so lots to show..

Painting my fav flower on this mug, the iris flower 🌿

I love so many things about this flower but the gorgeous shape of the petals is my favourite thing about them.

What's your favourite flower?

My very first mug & my latest mugs!!

Looking at my mugs now, I still love the organic lines & shapes & blue. Would LOVE to have this lovely baby blue colour. I'll have to experiment!

Resting B*tch Face mugs for the lovely people out there who just can't help but look bored or annoyed (myself included 🙃)

These mugs have attitude 💥 and a little bloating (don't we all sometimes!)

Stages of admin and paper and packaging ✏️✨️ The everyday boring things are beautiful I think, maybe you agree? ❣️

This is how I #print at home! There's often misprints and mistakes (on my part and the printer's, we're both emotional beings) but for me, that's just part of the process!

Can't wait to share all of my new #prints with you guys 💕

Very interesting results on these #testtiles, watch to the end to see!

#ceramicists, what do you think happened?? Love the #texture for #sculptural work so I'm okay with that! But was aiming for #functionware so that's not ideal lol

My 'to #glaze' table is filling up!

With #autumn in the air, I feel so happy & energised. So I'm thinking maybe red decoration on these new pieces?

Also pictured is baby me & my sister riding our bikes on a gorgeous autumn day in #Arkansas. I miss the maple trees 🍁
