Who knows what these things are that I just found on the Pacific Coast in Washington? My first guess is squid eggs but I really don't know. Beautiful!

Been enjoying the meditation of making these wall pieces. And then I realize I really have to pee. 🤣

Heading up to Orcas Island this weekend to deliver a bunch of work to Orcas Island Pottery. These pieces are part of the group. I love this excuse to go up there off season when it is not so busy. No 6 hour ferry line! 🥰

I carved a new texture. Not sure if I will keep adding the eyeballs but that is what I "saw" when I put this vase together!

Morning vibes in my backyard. A few Anna's Hummingbirds were still splashing in there and it is 28 degrees

This little dancing gremlin reminds me to remain joyful and not let them tear us down. This was designed by my daughter, who is a trans woman. It is available on my Etsy site.
