Mini Ikebana

I love moving my pottery studio outside on sunny days

Incredible blossoms for today’s ikebana class. I found them in a parking lot 🌸

Welcome flowers for my open house #ikebana #flowerdesign

She loves watching me work

New batch, fresh from the kiln 🧡

Unfortunately, one of the most important lessons you can learn if you work in the creative industry is that no matter how talented you are, you will never be safe from marketing executives trying to maximize profit.

I think it’s a picture of my cat

Sometimes I capture accidentally beautiful pictures when I don’t know my phone camera is open 🤷‍♀️

My next tiny ikebana arrangement featuring one of my newest vases from @tinypots.bsky.social. Standing a sweet 3 inches tall, this little guy makes me so smiley. 😊

My online store has only been open for a couple of weeks and I’m already low on inventory!! Thank you all so much 🫶

Don’t worry, I put a fresh batch of tiny pots in the kiln today

Today’s ikebana lesson with camélias.

I’m moving in June, and I’m trying to use up all of my remaining clay and glazes before I close up my studio. It’s going to be a lot of work!

It’s getting increasingly difficult to make art free from the pressure to turn it into content. I despise the ubiquitous commodification of creativity but I can’t escape it either.

just for the record, I have a zero-tolerance policy towards transphobia and if I see it in my mentions it's an instant block.

Studio time!

Just picked up a fresh batch of bisque ware from the community Kiln

Mommy always wants to be included in the picture, but it’s okay because she’s the best

My cat, Mommy, loves being right by my side at all times so I made her a new nap spot in my home studio.

It’s funny looking at the vases I made last year all together. Definitely a lot of experimentation. I learned a lot. #ceramics #pottery #art

It’s pretty daunting to have to give up my studio and move to a different country. But I’m hoping where ever I end up, I can find a good space for my pottery.

I found the fantastic @tinypots.bsky.social & bought a group of her handmade tiny #ikebana vases. I felt so inspired by her pieces. This is my first arrangement, standing 3” tall!

The bites are all part of the beauty 😍

I love seeing how other people use my vases! Thank you Cynthia for showing me this awesome ikebana arrangement in my rose-shaped suiban

Just stop buying from Temu. It is that easy. Temu does not sell legitimate merchandise and rips off small creators constantly. If you support small businesses don't buy on Temu.

The landscape in Roussillon is absolutely stunning 🧡 I love ochre

Thank you so much 💖

I’m legitimately obsessed with the color of this clay

Damn, that’s way too relatable! Anyways, congrats on your achievement
