One less fascist.

This photo was taken on the porch of the historic Grand Canyon Lodge when I was there as an Artist in Residence. The lodge, visitor center, cabins were all destroyed by a wildfire yesterday.

I'm not sure if they were able to save any historic or art items. It's heartbreaking...

18" SW pottery figure; the head is removable which made it easier to make and fire. I added ceramic feathers on the head and rattle and tied them on with leather. Clay, stains, oxides, and matte glazes.

With respect to my Hopi friends. This is for my own personal use.

Hot days are here when the saguaros start blooming in Tucson.

It's a good thing I have art projects to give myself a break from the craziness every day. How are you coping?

Below, a new small woodcarving project done while listening to books on tape. Painting comes next.

Here's the before and after glaze fired gila monster. I am always a bit surprised at how the glazing turns out. It will look great in my yard! #ceramics

Working on a gila monster for my yard. This is bisqued BMix. I have glazed it with black engobe, velvet underglaze and just a bit of stroke and coat for a few glossy spots. #ceramics

My blood pressure likes it better here.. .

Count me in!

This is horrific, just like everything else he does.

A change up today, a pottery garden pole. Each segment is hand built from clay with a hole top and bottom so they can be arranged on a pole in any order.

I have added a feed for #gourds but I am not sure if it is working the way I hope.

Here's where you can add #gourds to your feeds.

I am no programmer, but I have attempted to make a #gourds feed that you can follow. Go to your sidebar by clicking on the hamburger (3 horizontal lines) at the top of your personal page. Look for the #feeds heading and search for #gourds. Hopefully that will bring up every post tagged that way.
