Pottery update! I’ve decided to start working on potential holiday gifts.

Up first is a little house I’m making that will serve as a cone incense holder. I accidentally broke through the clay when carving a door and turned that into a happy mistake. Now there’s air flow for the smoke!

Sarah Snook and the entire crew of #DorianGray did such a fabulous, captivating job. The physicality, the great use of technology, the absolute range… all of it stunning.

I really like how this piece is turning out. It's soothing to work on. #pottery #ceramics

The harmonica is such a lost art. #Grammys #StevieWonder

My #pottery teacher asked us to have something leather hard for class tomorrow, so I created this. It reminds me of a window. #ceramics

Sculpting the lid for my little ceramic dino jar. Not sure if I want to cut into the snout to make a full mouth and I think I'll carve out the eyes once it hardens a bit.

Had no idea how this would turn out when I started and I'm pretty proud of this first attempt.

Channeling my emotions into this little dinosaur jar.

I saw an Instagram video from a pottery teacher who uses pinch pots and slabs to teach her kids how to create jars and it looked like a fun method.

If anyone's interested, her insta account is www.instagram.com/mrs_baxters_...

Second time seeing Sunset Blvd, this time w/ Mandy Gonzalez as lead instead of Nicole. Mandy's def more of an actor, you can better see the descent into madness in her body/face, while Nicole is a stronger singer but slightly less an actor.

(Mandy's also a great singer, but not at PCD levels)

Practicing more with the nerikomi pottery technique. I really like this hexagon shape.

Taking a pottery color and technique class that has a syllabus and honestly I'm so excited.

Not too shabby first attempt at nerikomi.

Casually said I'd be down for a chicken parm dinner last night and my partner pulled out all the stops.

Pottery is a masterclass in art, science, and patience.

When I first created this piece, I had wanted the imprint to be more of a bright green. The end result was much more earthy. I have some ideas on how I can display this.

Pottery Test

I used some leftover scraps to create a little night sky scene that you could put a tea candle behind

On the left is my bisque-fired piece

On the right, I'm testing only clear-glazing the night sky, and leaving the grass and tree unglazed

Very curious to see how this turns out!

I can't believe I didn't see this sooner.

So many thoughts. The plot and music started out a little rocky, but once the teeth came out, it was a wild ride. That ending was amazing.

Go see it before it closes, get the splash zone tickets 🦷🩸

Apricot, Peach Spread

I'm a big fan of both these flavors in multiple formats so I was a little surprised when I wasn't as enthusiastic about the taste.

It's a very middle-of-the-line flavor. Perfect if you're purchasing for an entire household and don't want to go bold

Pineapple, Yuzu Spread

I normally like pineapple, but this one has a distinctly artificial taste. I'm not sure if that's the Yuzu combining with the pineapple. It's not exactly my favorite, but the initial taste is nice.

Raspberry, Rose Spread

Basic. Mid.

If you didn't tell me it had rose, I wouldn't have known.

Fortunately I really like raspberry, so the simplicity was still a hit with my taste buds.

If you see this in the store and it costs extra, it's not worth it.
