Bao must have found a nest of shrews. He brought these two poor little babies home.

Exhibition preps: making stuff so my ceramic works can be hung vs a regular pedestal. The blue somehow makes the pieces float in a perpetual space. Looking forward to see them up and finished with life flowers and branches.

Come see "Creature of Habit" at EM Studio Gallery!

What I also love about clay is that if something doesn't work out, you can just stomp it and then recycle all the material. I couldn't do exactly that with my expensive colour pencils and paper. - knowing not to be wasting materials actually gives me a real sense of freedom to experiment

Yeah, I was thinking of blue and whites too 🤔 I only have overglaze available atm, gonna have a good think on how to use those.

Ooh, it's absolutely amazing! Must be quite something to work with these objects up close and personal 🥰

Oh wow, that is so lovely! I'm gonna read up more on the technique. Curious to give it a try sometime.

...also, for some reason I keep on associating this with gingerbread decorations and it looks somehow edible to me 🙃

Do you have any favourite slip decoration techniques?

That is just marvelous. Thanks for sharing 🥰

Oh wow! 😍😍😍

I'm only just learning about slip decoration and am amazed with the wide variety of techniques and applications. Loving it! Making animals like that Roman Barbotine technique looks like so much fun too.

Any color suggestions?

I think one layer should be ok when brushing.

Aww, thank you 😊😊😊

It's so cute 🥰

Photo shows a drawing of a tabby/white cat sitting with its tail wrapped across its feet. Outlined in ink, coloured in with my trusty Polychromos & has a blue background

A small sketch on a small card to be gifted has happened! I really ought to get back to drawing & stop being so distracted with crochet

Thank you 😊😊😊

It's a use of wonky slip trailing and brushing it in directions. Have you ever tried that?

Will do!

Trying out a new decorating technique with slip trailing and a brush. Also... Never made a bowl before 🙃

Curious to see how it turns out when dried and fired.

Getting better at the #slipdecoration #lettering with this second batch.

If you see this - post a rabbit 🐇✨️

First one is technically a hare, but I'm adding some rabbit doodles as a treat :>

These #ceramic #Aristolochia #macrophylla #leaf #trinketdishes (can also be used as #walldecoration ) came from the oven today. So fun to make and loving how they turned out 😍

...I should launch my webshop soon 🤔

Bao gave me a rat's ass last night... And also the rest of the rat

That's so cute 😍

Photo shows a plain twisted twig(?) wreath decorated with crochet sunflowers, daisy, leaves, a small patch of grass & a smol ladybird with googly eyes hanging on my wall

I still haven’t got back to drawing as yet (I will eventually…) but I have had fun finishing this little crochet project this evening

EXHIBITION: CREATURE OF HABIT FEB 16-22, EM Studio Gallery, Amsterdam - come!

New whale sake bottles / bud vases waiting to be bisque fired. They are so fun to make 😊

Aww, thanks, Ste 🥰

It was a super interesting show that lasted just a little bit too short. Enjoyed every bit of it 😊
