Scratch & Line

Just a little ceramic guy in a skull mask sitting in a ceramic house next to a cat and some bones while three ghosts creep around outside.

I have a show opening up this Friday, May 2nd at Sidestreet Arts in Portland alongside my husband, painter @joelfleminger.bsky.social and fellow ceramicist Sarah Fine. Here’s one of the pieces I’ll be showing. You can preview the show here:

Flier promotion for a group art show Tuft Crowd including rug tufted works. The flier includes names of the artists, the gallery and the curator. Art in flier by Melissa Monroe.

I will have a piece in this show. TUFT CROWD opens April 12th @brassworksgallery.bsky.social in Portland. This is going to be the softest and silliest show ever. Thanks for including me @melissamonroeart.bsky.social Any guesses of what I tufted?

My multidisciplinary art studio workshop is always evolving. Today I’m making 4 curtains panels from a secondhand curtain panel. Then I’ll get back to the project I’m procrastinating on. Here’s Rauschenberg making sewing super safe and ergonomic. Bonus: Is this pet giving OMEN?

Collage of four images. Top left is me holding my first belt bag like a trophy fish. Top left is an image of three bags (all different sizes- modified pattern for children). Bottom left is mustard shell and bright yellow vintage floral. Bottom right is a rusty corduroy with a yellow zipper modeled by a kid and cute dog.

Learned to make the @corefabrics belt bag at @craftemporiumpdx . These were gifts which incorporated found/secondhand materials or new from small local businesses. It may not look like art as resistance but it sure feels like it to me. Yes I’m holding my first bag like a trophy fish.

Orville Peck!

It’s perfect.

That cover brings so much joy, is it vintage fabric?

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Curvy glossy white vase with carved matte symmetrical flower design on a bright red background

And here’s the finished vase! I underglazed the design and then painted wax on before glazing to achieve a fun contrast in texture.

View from my living room window, looking out to a snow covered yard, cars, and street. Includes indoor plants, a ceasefire sign, garland, and stained glass eye piece.

I really appreciate the "slow sewing" feel of this platform.

1st anniversary of a kiln named Dolly being in my home. Gifted by the best human and neighbor. Pictured on my porch is said Kiln along with my friend Whitney and myself posed in a hug.

Sidewalk chalk reading, “We love human rights for all! The “o” in love is a heart.

I just made 5 curtains for my art studio out of a secondhand flat bedsheet. Eventually I plan to block print them and maybe dye them as well.

Aʻama crab jar with barnacle handle lid. This was a mix of vinyl patterns and glaze layering. ~Lance

Fun fact: You can usually find these little guys (the real crabs) on the lava rocks near shore in Hawaii hopping from rock to rock.
