Calliope's Folly. 📎

A three panel image of raku vases on a white background. In black text, the top of the image says 'Whispers of Raku'. At the bottom it says 'Alchemy'.

As part of my raku practice I often test glazes on smaller sized vases to help inform future work.

Pictured below are some new works that are from our last raku firing and are currently available for purchase.

Trump works for Putin. It's that simple. Trump runs rogue sometimes and Putin sends a reminder.

For every fucking action that Sauron’s Orc takes, the answer lies just beneath the question:
WHAT’S IN IT FOR PUTIN?! So, sum up, name & rank order by their importance to Trump the entities that benefit from Trump’s war with Iran!

What a beautiful picture!

I love this guy! Out of the park journalism, excellent rapport with interviewees(not a word, right?), and downright adorable!

Jacob, you just rock in the best way! 💖

Trump's ego started the war. The Iranian who had plans to 86 47 wasn't gonna get away with living, so he's taking out the whole country.

Ohhhhh!!! Now it all makes sense. Some Iranian dude had a plot to 86 Trump, so he decided to get even on the whole country.

Thanks for the mental vacay! Sounds like home! LOVE!

Cheers to like minded northerners! Hoping we can compare spring notes! Fyi, my robins are back in town! Surely not long for you if they aren't already there.

Absolutely, we must call our reps! But, with all due respect, it's not going to make a difference. Doesn't mean we quit trying!

The hand bruises could be from infusions.

Any doctors wanna throw some tidbits to a wondering country? The bruises on the hands could be from infusions. What would need infusions with a rash like that?

Is it really so hard to believe that, out of all the possibly inhabited planets in the universe, there are older, more advanced civilizations who are capable of interstellar travel? Humans are so egocentric.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why there are always lines at the drive thru. All hours of the day. The food is gross and overpriced. That said, America is in free fall. So, that living wage thing is gonna haft wait. Again. NOT "for the people"!

Andy is doing good work. You are too! Look at what we've done together! Thank you, Andy, for being a world class citizen! Thank you to everyone who has given! Andy's gonna hit that goal! Mind sending it around again? That oughtta do it! Love you guys!

13 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION!

We need all hands on deck.

We Americans just trash what's good for us. Speaking directly to the DNC right now.

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

How cool! I just use miracle gro. I also want a greenhouse! I want to fill it with food plants and tropicals. Maybe with a pond! We need less winter.😄

Oh no, they don't! This is close to where I live. Luckily, we Michiganders are fighting back.

That's the neighboring town to me. Luckily there is plenty of local resistance from residents and government. We aren't gonna let it happen in Mi.!

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

My eyes can taste that! My Nigerian friend taught me how to make her rice with shrimp. Best gift I ever got!

From your mouth to.....oh.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.
