Small white rounded bud vase with all over flower geometric design. Vase is sitting on top of a white cloth sashiko-embroidered in blue with the same design as the vase.

Leaving this one with just a white matte glaze with no blue inlay. #ceramics #pottery #sashiko

Trying a new glaze for my piece. This one I will keep as the glaze crazed a bit too much. I disliked it at first but it’s growing on me. #ceramics #pottery

This little vase went through the queue quickly since I didn’t procrastinate on glazing. Quite happy with it. #ceramics #pottery

*from* - my hand is moving faster than my sight and spell checking

Resharing this knit grom a few years back. Not quite the right shade of blue but Slava Ukraini.

Thank you! Indeed, many of my pieces are inspired by sashiko embroidery.

Out of bisque and dunked it in glaze tonight. Now I wait and hope it won’t be too long - community studio joy! #pottery #ceramics

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.

I do too! Even though the colors are so close, the fuzz shows the pattern

Knitted vest in gray with a zigzag pattern. The zigzag motif is slightly fuzzy from mohair yarn.

As part of my slow transition here, I’m sharing my recent finished knitting 🧶 This was made from a kit I bought from the Tokyo Daruma store.

Blue and white vases with stitching design

We all have to start somewhere. Here’s a collection of my wheel-thrown vases with decorations inspired by sashiko stitching (carved and inlaid by hand).
