This dumpling post is only for @jfsculpts.bsky.social and @nora.zone.

I made char siu baozi from scratch, and they are massive and delicious.

Props again to @sarahbecan.bsky.social for the recipes.

Let me make your cats; I am pretty good at it!
January 9, 2026 at 1:08 AM
Damn I gotta make more of these. Little creatures from my head, with details that tell a whole story...this is where my joy's at.

I think Hazel has to be the next personal project.

New to my convention booth this year - stickers! @printinkling.bsky.social made me the loveliest stickers of my three urban critters. Let the Ribbitt Family, Honk Paddleford, and Milo decorate your laptop, water bottle, or notebook!

$5/each, 3 for $12

Find them for the first time at @ane.boston!

I'll be in Cat Mode for the next few weeks, as I finish the 6(!) siblings of these fluffy friends.

I've been working on a gallery page for www.eclecticclay.com, for those who want to see my work without all the social media-ness. It's been fun to look back at past pieces, like Cecil!

Incidentally, the propeller spins. Remember, I'm the master of overkill.

*school bus departs*

All right, let's get this year started, at least business-wise.

Excited/alarmed to realize I will be at @ane.boston in a week and a half! You can find me and all my clay shenanigans at D32. My booth looks like this!

Finally, dumplings, made with the help of @sarahbecan.bsky.social's Let's Make Dumplings cookbook!

My oldest and I share a deep dumpling love. Here we have savory mushroom baozi and pork and chive potstickers. I'm starting to understand the more complicated folding techniques!

Granola, made with @lucyknisley.bsky.social's recipe (or, more accurately, the recipe of the Condiment Raccoon). It is delicious, and my favorite has pecans and sesame seeds.

...I did decrease the salt. Sorry, @condimentraccoon.bsky.social.

A piggy bank - Meet Mr. Piglin! He's a gift for my father, to go with the ceramic piggy bank he made for my mother in high school. No, you cannot get money out of him without smashing him to bits, in the old-school piggy bank tradition.

I present to you - things I made at the end of the year that weren't polymer clay!

A ceramic spoon rest - his name is Henri, and he has a little lily-pad shaped green beret. Henri is not very good at his job. His tongue keeps pushing the spoon out on the counter.

Progress has slowed due to rolling power outages yesterday and the start of school vacation, but here's some Brother Gregor progress!

A perfect demonstration of "trust the process."

Oh yeah, we're still refilling the cup, aren't we?

Sometimes it helps to make fan art! Here's day one of my Brother Gregor sculpt. Thank you, @ascalaphid.com, for the inspiration!

This week, I'm trying to fill my cup back up after an insane year.

First, I'm decorating. These little felt guys have been with me since childhood. This year, they are Sheep Riders.

A little last-minute ornament for a customer whose email went missing last year - the oinkstronaut!

I also really need to restock these, I'm down to a bunny and an otter.

The Blue Horn is decorated for Christmas and on display at Plowshares!

Stop by Nottingham High School from 10:30am-4:30pm for a cocoa and a fun adventuring story from Kestral.

Laser and Maddox - November 2025

It was my absolute honor to make @lasertheboy.bsky.social's cake topper for his wedding to Maddox. The Doubleclicks have had a huge impact on myself and my friends (we're all queer now, lol), and Laser himself taught me so much. I love you, internet art Dad.
December 3, 2025 at 1:43 PM
It's my birthday! Here's what I want:

If you're in Central New York, come meet me!

I'll be at Plowshares this weekend, my last show of 2025, with Anxious Eels, Pride Eels, and custom sculptures. I would love to talk to you about your pets, your fursonas, or your TTRPG characters!

See you there!

My mystery package from @acorviart.bsky.social arrived, and I have received the greatest socks in the woooooooorld!
November 21, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Good morning!

It's a good time for cat lovers to tune in, as I enter the All Cats All The Time season!

Barb likes to curl up in her orange bed and furiously judge her owner.

Happy Halloween from Duck "It's A Nickname" Newton.

...or a forest ranger, inf you're not a TAZ fan.

Still to add - name tag, Beacon belt, Darryll's Bait and Crossfit t-shirt.

Hoho, ready and waiting for cuddles!

Scrub Nurse Moona

Fifth in a series of Moona ornaments, a tradition that I'm so happy to continue every year. Thanks, Tim!

Found this on the community board of the Y and I have a LOT of questions.
