Pink glazed handmade pottery bowl on a silver tray. Thereโs drippy pink glaze over a hand carved floral design.
I made this pottery bowl on the wheel, then hand carved the floral design on it. Sadly my drippy glaze dripped too far and covered more of the carving that I hoped for, but thatโs pottery! I have my first sale coming up on Nov 8 at the Bradley Centre in Coombs!

My bear mug is done and sheโs a pretty one! Iโm so happy with the result after being so challenged by the intricate carving and celadon glazing.

A smaller oval shaped embroidery of my dog Rosie. Sheโs a black and white Aussie Bernadoodle. Under her in pink it says her name and the โoโ is a heart.
I havenโt completed many embroideries lately, but I did this portrait of our dog Rosie recently. I hand drew the pattern, then hand stitched her in this happy sitting position in an oval frame.

A white colander full of dark reddy-purple cherries on a grey faux stone countertop
The sun shining through the leaves of our cherry tree looking across our front field and our fence with paint chipping off
Picked cherries from our trees this afternoon to the sounds of crickets. Very peaceful.

Brown smoke chokes out the sun near Qualicum Beach in the afternoon
Grey smoke creeps across the morning sky, like itโs going to gobble up the sun
The forest fires are so terrible. The devastation to the forests, the fear and unknowing of evacuees, the dangerous work and long hours of the responders, and the smoke! On mid Vancouver Island we now have our second out of control fire in such a short order. This canโt be our new normal.

The glazing on this vase didnโt turn out as expected, and it was my first time carving on a collared in piece where I couldnโt feel the inside while carving, so it was kind of scary!! No mishaps thankfully.

A smaller, rounded, shiny grey cup, on a silver engraved tray, with a white background. On the front of the cup is carved a sleeping fox, in relief. The fox was hand drawn on the cup after it was thrown on the wheel and trimmed, then hand carved in bas relief. You can just see the little sliver of white clay along the bottom of the cup where it rests on the tray as this is a footless cup, with a smooth, rounded bottom.
A little pottery cup I made, with a hand carved relief sleeping fox. This was a new studio grey celadon glaze. I really like the smooth, rounded, footless bottom I made (for the first time).

She worked out!! Iโm so thrilled with how my rainbow bowl turned out after its clear glaze and final firing!! The underglaze is nice and vibrant and clean, and no cracks! (I can have bad luck with my bowls sometimes). This took over 10 hours to decorate.

A mug being held towards the camera. The mug is a soft beige colour as it is cheese hard greenware B-Mix clay. On the mug is carved a portrait of a bear with a floral crown. In the background is a foam circle used to support the mug when itโs being worked on, and some random stuff on my work surface (which is my dining room table lol)
Work in Progress! This design was a little ambitious at the top with the small details. Hand carved on greenware clay mug thrown on the wheel.

Apparently the BC gas tax rate did not increase when the carbon tax was removed. While the carbon tax was removed, the motor fuel tax on gasoline remains at 6.75 cents per litre. So how do you figure??

โPierre Poilievre tapped into rageโnot reality.โ
โ Matthew Green
He blames โsocialismโ for problems rooted in unchecked capitalism.
Thatโs why we need public media like CBCโto cut through the fury and report the facts.

A hand holds a warm hued wooden embroidery hoop towards the camera with a mostly black background. On the outside of the hoop is a silver metal wheel with the words QUEEN and PATโD on it, with its metal support screwed into the hoop with two screws each side. Sharing because I thrifted it and then discovered that it is an antique!
I thrift as much of my art supplies as I can. I just looked up this hoop that I thrifted and found it for sale on eBay for $450-550!! Love finding treasure by surprise.

First Nations unity displayed at rally against Alberta separatism
โOur Treaties are not relics. They are not documents to be shelved and forgotten.โ
The treaties between First Nations and Canada were signed 30 years before Alberta was even thought of.
The troll machine trying to break up our country are being treated in the media as legitimate grievance.
They are not.
They are malignant MAGA.
