I’m so excited to get this kiln full of work ready for my show on Friday the 13th in June!

The inside of one of my recent pieces.

Dang, that is dark and very good.

It was heartbreaking to watch a man who has given his life to protecting his country being bullied in front of the world.

Meet them where they are and be as gracious as possible. Yesterday was heartbreaking. A man who has given his all to his country bullied in front of the world! I’m glad he pushed back.

“Booooo” the entire time. It can’t get more contentious than it already is and it would send a very strong signal that there is serious descent. People like my sister only see what Fox shows as news. Hard not to hear people “booing” and no matter how it is spun that sound might linger in their minds

More WIP……hyper focused on carving lately.

The light in my studio this snowy day.

I didn’t know Target was one of the corporations ending these initiatives. Guess I’ll be adding them to my Boycott List.

You are engaging w/ fictional arguments. This isn’t about the price of eggs. It is about suburban and rural racism. My sister has chickens who lay eggs. She voted for white supremacy and will never admit it to herself. They fear black and brown and believe woman are inferior. We need better stories

Pathetic. You think you’re going to hold this lunatic accountable in 2026?! How about *NOW*. AOC, Buttegieg, anyone with a spine.

They’re going to confirm her. Not one of these horrendous cabinet picks has been denied. I wish I knew wha we could do about this. Any suggestions?

First time seeing this anywhere.

Where did you see this? It’s very effective.

I love how you’ve done the glazing.

You need a sculpture there….or a cat to use the carpet ;)

New work, still in progress.

Just running errands here in the Midwest in my favorite sweatshirt.

Start meeting a couple of friends weekly or every other week for lunch r coffee or an evening walk. Community will help. Be around the good folks you care about. It will help you carry the burden of the bad people in the daily news.

Spotted a few very cool pieces by Sam Welch in Fort Wayne today at Bravas.

Yes, but I’m trying to remember the teachings of Stoicism. Worry about what I can control and let go of what I cannot control. That doesn’t mean giving up in a cruel world. It means digging in where I can make a difference, speaking up for someone, offering friendship and protection to someone, etc…

Thanks @jbroemel.bsky.social for inviting me to the inaugural sewing circle at The Stutz this past weekend. I made a bag using 2 repurposed tops & a needle “book”. Tonight I’m working on a bag for my scissors (to fit inside of this bag). #sewingfever #indianapolis

Is this a joke? Hegseth has been approved. They don’t care to do anything that might rock the boat….,r save our democracy.

Venice?

@mcuban.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @aaronparnas.bsky.social CA Chasen & Kovak homes survived due2 builds w/fire retardants.
