Congrats to you both!

Those are lovely cupcakes. You did a great job with the sprinkles and matching table cloth. I hope the day was wonderful, and may there many more bright ones to come.

Happy #caturday!

Here's our void Mochi. She's a zoomy gremlin and utter cuddlebug. We'd hold her upside down in our arms as a kitten to train her for nail trims and now she insists on being carried that way.

A WIP for #caturday. Looks like I got photobombed by my spouse.

Threw and sculpted this fellow in one studio session, which is a new record for me. My proof of concept mug cracked on the inside, so it's not food safe.

Fingers crossed I can sip tea from this one.

Ryukin vase update!

The goofy little guy got a few finny additions on Friday. The hardest part? Not giggling every time I made eye contact with that face. (I'd scream too if my butt wasn't attached.)

Good advice. I had to tap out when overextension made my health hit critical mass. I've chosen to focus on getting produce grown and to the food banks this year, since my body and mind can't handle hitting the streets for protest. Feed the fight, feed the vulnerable.

I hate that feeling. It's a constant companion whenever I get any kind of head cold.

These are really interesting, reminding me a bit of herb strippers for taking leaves off plants like mint and basil.

Are they purely decorative or are they functional art?

I forgot to post this goofy guy!

It's a Ryukin (fancy goldfish) vase, though still very WIP. With two cats in the house I needed a squat, bottom-heavy vase for flowers and I decided to add some sculptural whimsy. Fins and more to be added Friday.

My current WIP at pottery. Bothe are bisque fired, and the cat is getting a nice coat of smoke glaze. The rainbow's just underglaze and going back in the kiln; it will have a date with black glaze later.
