Glazing day(s)! There's a lot of fun stuff in this batch. Viking mugs & tankards to restock @skalbeerhall Moroccan inspired mugs for Etsy, moon mugs, honeycomb wee pots, herb pipes, OH! And a pirate themed gnome 😉

Another of my mermaid handled mugs. This one has a purple liner glaze. I'm working on more of these for my March Etsy release 😍
#pottery #ceramics #mermaid

So now I'm ordering gemstones for handles for custom orders 😀
Just ignore the part where I drop the faceted garnet and it goes bouncing across my work table. The dragon tankard & lid will shrink about 10% during the firing process.
Custom orders open up 1 March.

I woke up to just enough snow to make it pretty this morning 😍
It makes a nice backdrop for these black on black Viking inspired vessels in 14, 16 & 18 oz sizing.
These 3 are still available in my Etsy shop (link in profile).

#pottery #luck #Roman #fascinus

"Flying luck" on a blood red background. It just seems appropriate today 😜
There's still one of these left in my Etsy shop.
This design is based on antique Roman graffiti in Pompeii. The historic name is "Fascinus" and it was seen as a good luck symbol.
(Original Fascinus mold made by @tursiart )

Why I'm running late this morning 😜

Next Etsy update: 1 Feb, 6pm pst
Here's one of the pieces I'll have available. For when you need a mug with a white gold "flying luck." 😉

Adding gold luster to a custom order piece. That tiny little bottle is $40 so I'm VERY careful....

The first slipcast herb pipe is finished, tested & BFF approved 😉
Now to see if I can make consistent production runs of them 😀

PSA: I'm starting my next big pottery push the last week of Jan. I still have a few slots left on my custom orders list but I'll close that this week.
Picture of the Phoenix mug before I add the background glaze for visual interest. PM me to talk about custom orders.

Starting my day with art journaling. It's a frosty morning here in Longbeach but the temps are supposed to get up to almost 50 today. With this sunshine it should be a gorgeous day to work outside! ❤️

Successful glaze experiment. Now to play with the technique and come up with some cool patterns.

I think I should get up, get dressed and get to work in the studio.
Beastie thinks I should stay in bed another half hour.
Guess which one I'm doing 😜

One of my friends shared this picture with me of her adorable tot drinking out of "the big mug." ❤️
