Clay object in a shape of a sloth holding a tilted cylinder.

Polymer clay Yoshi. I like the process of prepping all the pieces.

Thank you! Coil built and then smoothened on the banding wheel :)

A collage of six square photos showing seashells and fossils with sharp spindles and smooth curves.

Went to the LKC Natural History Museum and saw these interesting shapes and textures...

A turquoise glazed round bowl with tapered out opening at the top. The bowl is supported by a small curved tripod legs.

I saw a beautiful tripod censer, and tried to recreate it. I think it came out rather well :D

Sea urchin inspired incense pot. Used the glaze at my teacher's studio called ice blue, which resulted in a gentle purple colour.

A small faded green bowl with a handle on the side. At the bottom of the bowl, there is a figurine of a mudskipper looking up. On the rim of the bowl, there are a few textures in the shape of limpets.

The mudskipper and limpets to help wash the paint brush. Love how this turned up, and it's very useful.

Six flat pebble-like ceramic pieces with two sides gently turned upwards. Each has cream-coloured glaze with one red flower.

Some ceramic hashioki (chopstick rest) made for my sister. Tried underglazing for the first time.

A bowl. One of the basic pieces I built using the coiling method. I chose the floating blue glaze, but it wasn't thick enough to show the blue colour. Glazing is tricky!

Hue painted by her human!

Two stoneware plates with a muted green glaze. One is slightly smaller than the other. There are swirl patterns carved into the plate's surface.

Two stoneware plates with a muted green glaze. One is slightly smaller than the other, and they are stacked. There are swirl patterns carved into the plate's surface.

During my hand building course, my pottery teacher gave me a task of creating a two-plate set that can stack. And this is the result.

Ohhh, true!

A stoneware container with a flat circular dish with a rounded cylinder cover with two bulging eyes. The inside and the top of the container is glazed with dull green glaze.

This was meant to be a container in the shape of 'umibozu' a large head emerging from the sea. But the glaze didn't drip as I hoped. It looks like the Iron Giant instead, so I guess it's ok?

Stoneware rabbit. Most of the other pieces of pottery I made so far are functional, but this one is not. It was made using a pinch pot technique.

@nanimonda.bsky.social thank you for the repost, reference photo, and for letting me draw your cat :D

@happyturtlewalker.bsky.social Thank you for reposting :D

An acrylic painting of a cat's face on a 10 x 10 cm MDF board. The cat is a gray-brown tabby with subtle hints of blue, red and yellow on different parts of the fur patterns. The background is a gradient of blue and grey-green. Fine details of whiskers and fur are painted with a fine brush.

My friend's cat, Hue. I thought I messed up the painting by using too many colours, but I think it turned out well, giving subtle colour variation to her very interesting coat.

So smooth and crisp at the same time!

The board is painted blue with various shades and the cat is 3/4 done. The cat is grey with some warm browns. I don't know the breed of the cat, so I can't say. But it's not a fluffy cat.

The cat is board is now painted off white. And there are blocks of colours in the cat sketch.

An A5 wooden board painted orange with a sketch of a cat on it.

I'm trying to paint my cat! This is still a work in progress! I hope things go well.

A stoneware tokkuri bottle. A cylindrical body gently curves inwards to create a neck, which flares back out at the spout. The glaze is shiny muted green.

Stoneware project I recently brought home. A 'tokkuri' for Nihonshu (Japanese rice wine). Hand built using a coiling technique.

Ah that's a good use of Copilot :)

Very nice shot, and I appreciate the detailed alt text. I didn't know what juvenile bald eagles looked like.

It's beautiful! But I can also relate to not knowing where the finishing point is.

Beautiful. I want to get lost in this forest.

Wood (MDF board) and lino block printing of cats!

That's great :) I love them as a set. I imagine each member of a family choosing one they like

Cute :3

They are so pretty! Seeing the different shapes and textures makes me want to hold each of them in my hands :D
