Just a middle aged nurse, I am perimenopausal and have zero time for BS. Love nature, art, science and people with critical thinking skills. Teaching myself watercolor and pottery to mentally cope. Funnier IRL.

For whatever reason I cannot post on threads for last 2 days, maybe it's the universe trying to help me get away from that platform. Anyway here's some of my pottery I finally got back yesterday. Most of these were made last year and have been waiting months to get to completion. #pottery

Back home and my second time at my wheel and I prefer throwing to stand 10-1. So much more comfortable and easier for me. Anyway I really love this bowl. Finally got the shape I have been going for. I was in the zone and pulled off this beauty. โจ๏ธ๐ #art #potterywheel #potteryfun

Almost a wrap on this assignment. Counting down the last few weeks/shifts left. I've got a nice long break coming up after this stretch of days which I will spend making as much art as possible. Here's a bunch of my art lately. Pottery and watercolor are my go to happy places. ๐
