Vulva pendants, anyone?

I've made some very smol sculptures 😊

The girls are singing about their favorite treats besides ice cream.
Which of these monstrous gal pals do you recognize?

So who has some spare wood & sharp steel for making a few of these?

New commission delivered this week. Lil bebe whale teacups. A bit too big for the accompanying teapot, but worth it.

Bear Head sculpture

I suppose this is the thing to do when you go to Buc-ee's for the first time

Here are some detail shots. I even gave her toe beans. 🥰

I made a new baby. This jug is based on the Irish mythological beast named Cathach. She's made out of reclaimed clay and fired to ∆10 in reduction.

I feel like I shrunk the giant eternal turtle from "Neverending Story" into this little 5" diameter sculpture

The clurichaun (/ˈkluːrɪkɔːn/) or clúrachán (from Irish: clobhair-ceann) is a mischievous fairy in Irish folklore known for his great love of drinking and a tendency to haunt breweries, pubs and wine cellars.

Oh my glob! I opened my cupboard and found a Clurichaun sleeping while dangling from a jug!

How it started, vs how it fired 😬

Hoping to salvage something of it next week

#art Whale Teapot

The one thing I hear over and over from job seekers is "I need a job."

That is FALSE.

You don't need a job. A job needs you.

You need food and shelter.

You can live under a bridge. You can eat anyone who tries to cross that bridge and fails to answer your riddles correctly. Problem solved.

Tiny whale teapot where the tail is the handle, the mouth is the spout, and the blowhole is the lid

Painted with underglaze and dipped in clear
Cone 10 reduction fired

Stand with Ukraine and free Palestine!

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍

Front view of a sculpture with large eye sockets

Top front view of sculpture with clear visual of the details on the back, looks like mushrooms

Side view of the sculpture showing more of the biome it carries on its back

Part of the biome is an egg with an alien fetus

Steeb, my latest sculpture is in progress. I dreamt up this creature in 2019. My classmates called it "Ash's Moving Castle" 🤭
I plan on bringing more monsters into the world, maybe they'll fight for me

The Manticore has two rows of serrated teeth, wings, and a pronged scorpion tail

3/4 front view of the manticore showing more wing and tail

Rear view of the manticore showing more tail and the details of the mane

Opposing 3/4 front view showing the other wing

My Manticore got all of its final details and now begins the slow dry before bisque and glazing! He'll be getting fired to cone 10, or 1305°C, for the glaze firing!

My first figure sculpt at Laney College

Sculpted from life, made in the studio one day a week for 5 weeks straight

Bisque fired to 04, underglaze wash applied to highlight texture, and fired again to cone 6

There might be something to manifestation after all.

I told myself & friends at the start of October I'd interview for a studio manager type of job, I got the job by the end of the month, and I'm already getting more hours every week! I love that I get to work in a queer clay space. ❣️

"Oh you've got 3 Lamborghinis? Well I have a live-in artist."

Rich people keep getting "luxury" items that are still "mass produced" and anyone of their cohort could get the same thing. I challenge rich people to commission one of a kind art instead. Good luck to your rich buddies trying to copy you. #artist
