A set of 6 sticky notes arranged on a piece of card-stock. The illustrations painted on each sticky note are a variety of animals ranging from horses, an elk, a bison, and a wolf done in an illustrative style similar to my ceramic pieces.

They look as though they’re running across a landscape with a red sun, or a crescent moon, high above them.

There is also a piece featuring an owl with two big literal googly eyes.

The Liminal Time - Ceramic Commissions If you've ever wanted me to make you a cup, tumbler, or pair of shot glasses, this is how you get one.Β  10 spots available. After the purchase is complete, I'll reach out to see if you'd rather a shot...

I am taking ceramic commissions for the "liminal time" (end of december - beginning of january) so if you WANT a cup, but you don't wanna have to wait for a drop, this is a great way to get one.

An image by Science Alert showing how the moon's orientation differs if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the top and bottom of the moon are the actual top and bottom of the moon. But in the Southern Hemisphere it's reversed so the bottom of the actual moon appears to be the top of the moon.

Ceramic sculpture of a Stegosaurus with sgraffito details such as my signature California Poppy motif. The piece was done with black underlgaze, and has the natural coloured clay for it's plates and has gold luster details all over the piece.

Innovative Split Aprons Designed for Potters & Makers | Walking Apron The only aprons designed specifically messy makers. Innovative split-bottom with wrap-around legs, durable 10oz cotton canvas, ample pockets. USA-made with fully inclusive sizing. Perfect as a pottery...

If you're a ceramicist (or know of one) and are need of getting an apron I highly recommend Walking Apron!
I really love the one I bought from them and just ordered another one.

They're doing $20 off for Black Friday (I believe free shipping as well)! πŸ‘€πŸ‘βœ¨

A family picture of a group of ceramic animals. In the back are the bigger pieces like a Carnotaur and a 4-legged fish. In the front are horses, a lion, stegosaur, some little tigers, and Fresno Nightcrawlers.

New pottery is now available! ✨✨
Some of the pieces pictured have since found homes, but there are still some friends available!
