Working on painting some hand built vases currently. Only completely finished painted the big one so far, you can see the back side in photo two. Have a little bit left to do on the small one and I’ll probably spend today finishing up the one on the left. #handbuiltpottery #painted #paintedpots

Here’s the finished reading cat experiment. I’d love to make a whole bunch more with different comfy chairs and animal readers, I’d also change up the way I made the books a bit. I rushed the bisque fire and despite a long preheat my chair exploded but I was able to get it together enough to paint

A weird thing I had an idea to make that I have worked on with cord, wire, yarn and taken apart again after each. Still deciding how I’m going to go forward on this project, but I have a new idea to try with fabric involved.

I wasn’t able to fit all the mugs I had made into the last kiln load, so I’m busy painting more mugs do I can fill the kiln up again. Here are a few that made it into the last firing. #mugs #illustratedpottery

Back at painting bisque after being sick with the flu that seems to be everywhere. I still have an annoying lingering cough, but I am glad to be back to working on pottery. I made these two extra large witch bells this time around and still have a few more regular sized bells to paint #pottery
