Yum!

Thank you.

Can I repost to Substack? I won’t reveal you as a source.

Wally the dachshund took a bite out this one when my back was turned. Innocent, huh! #ceramics #dachshunds #dogs

A pair of gems from the last firing. #ceramics #shino #espressocups #shotcups

I can’t heart this. People are being hurt.

A trio of small paper clay porcelain pieces made in single use cardboard molds. Gas fired with soda ash fuming. #ceramics #porcelain

A couple of slip cast porcelain pieces. These are made in single use cardboard molds, fired in a gas kiln with soda filled cups around them.

So glad to see so many clay people on Blue Sky! I make both functional and conceptual work. Hand built vases in process. Obsessive about glaze testing, as well.

South Carolinians:Abortion Bill H.3457 is going before the SC House on March 4th. WRITE hjudconstitutionallaws@schouse.gov for public comments. A failed bill equated abortion with murder so that a woman could be so charged. In this bill, the penalty is two years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.

Great work, Andrew! Here’s one of mine.

Breathe…. The camellias and river help.

Marvelous work!

Pink Perfection camellia just blooming. A survivor from the snow storm. And one if my pieces from a recent firing.

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

I’ve just joined libro.fm, an alternative to audible. You chose one of your local bookstores to share the profits from your purchases. They have a monthly membership at a reasonable price. And Kobo books is an alternative to Amazon.

Never tire of river pics. Bonus 2 wood storks just hanging out. Plus something from the last firing.

How do I read the comments? When I click on the icon, it prompts me to write one.

So when can we expect some lawsuits to stop these EOs. Scientific research has basically been shut down, bird flu is a real and present danger. Screaming into the void doesn’t help and 2 years is a long time. What’s next?

Wally is not getting out of bed until breakfast is ready.

Bluebird knocking at my door for the past few days.
