I’m having so much fun in metalsmithing class. Still a long ways to go until this sun pendant is finished: filing, sanding, riveting, soldering and polishing. Stay tuned!

Hi "News". There was NO "shouting match" between Trump, Vance and Zelensky. Zelensky was calm, spoke quietly and respectfully while he was yelled at and bullied by both Trump and Vance. Quit trying to spin the narrative. We know what we heard and what we saw so just STOP.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

If you feel unsafe doing this, fly a Star Wars Rebellion Alliance flag instead—just tell people you’re a fan of Star Wars. ;)

Here is one of the finished bottle sets that I posted at the greenware stage a few weeks ago. It took a lot of restraint for me to leave those sipper cups green and undecorated, but I know it was the right choice. Off to Companion Gallery for Last Call.

Meanwhile, in Kansas, this is what our legislators prioritize.
A hearing will take place Monday afternoon to discuss a bill to allow raccoon ownership in Kansas.

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

And because I can’t leave a pun on the field, here’s an exquisitely beautiful #SuperBowl by Gertrud and Otto Natzler. This gently folded (cannot emphasize how hard this is to do) earthenware bowl is from 1943 and it’s in the collection of the Museum of Arts and Design, NYC (1/2)

Every year I try to take a class during the first quarter to stretch myself creatively. This year I signed up for two: a color palette class that is happening now and a metalsmithing class that starts later this month. I hope to integrate some of these palettes into my surface deco this year.

More from the Life Finds A Way Series

These pieces use the pyroplasticity of clay arrange the flowers in the kiln in a cosmic Ikebana way. All of the flowers enter the kiln pointing straight up and the heat causes them to droop and relax.

Control your napkins! Handles, spouts, whatever… napkin holders is where it’s at. I made this about 7-8 years ago before switching to cone 6 red. I have a feeling that my current, more vitreous clay would slump too much .

As a childless dog lady without a dog, I decided now is the time to foster. This is Gertie, a senior pup who is crashing here. We are just getting to know each other but the early report is that she is one cool lady. #fosterdog

Working out some bottles and liquor sets inspired by flowers. I had so much fun exploring the flower lids, I think I have amassed 3 different lids for each bottle. As usual, I’m crossing fingers that they look as good after glazing as they do in my head. 🤞 #pottersofbluesky

I am working my way through Todd Oldham’s giant monograph on Alexander Girard and I am smitten with these wooden daisies Alexander “Sandro” carved for his wife, Susan. The book is full of these artistic expressions of love. #love #alexandergirard
