I haven’t posted any goblin content in a while 😂🐈❤️
A Siamese cat has been interrupted while doing delicate maintenance. Both back feet up in the air, a look of great indignation on his adorable face.

Guys…. I don’t know on this one. I made a couple of these mushroom pots to take to a ren faire market but this is the first one with glaze applied… any feedback out there? I am incredibly torn 😬

Working at The Feast of the Hunters Moon this weekend, stop by booth 484 for soap or pottery if you’re in the neighborhood and say hi!

NYOOOM!
Just a silly little guy, being chill and calm on your timeline ✌️

A photo of a watercolor sketchbook with a small painting: a worm wearing a green hat, blue shirt, and a bow tie is driving a car that is also an apple. The character is from Richard Scarry’s Busytown, which is a series of old children’s books.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the final product but this batch of unfired test glazes is adorable as a set 😂
A set of 7 vertical test tiles sit on a wooden board. Each is a little pastel piece of the rainbow: peach, pale yellow, pale gold, mint, 2 light blues, and a greyish lavender. There are also 3 tiny bowls with the 2 yellows and one of the blues.

Made a whole bunch of little feet to put under plant pots so they don’t develop ant nests or hold water on our wood steps! They’re just as adorable as I’d hoped they would be 🥹😂

A plant in a green pot is sitting on bare clay pot stilts that look like cat paws. An extra stilt sits off on the left, upside down, showing off its’ little toe beans

When I’m real stressed out I compulsively make stuff… behold, my new conk mushroom bookend!
Some books on a shelf are held upright by an elbow of wood. On the vertical board 2 wood-like fan shaped mushrooms have been glued, similarly to the way they would have been growing on a tree. A side view of the bookend, showing the absolute unit of shroom. (Each one is about 3 inches thick)

Hedgehog pin cushion?? Consider the hedge hogged!!
#pottery #ceramics
Several pins are sticking out of a pincushion - a ceramic hedgehog in brown and green with little feet has a tan cloth back where the straight pins can be stuck for storage.

I need to be prepping pots for multiple art markets but a pride snail is the best I can do today 🌈

Osprey pants!!!! 👖🪶
An osprey is flying away low above water, dark wings with white pant-legs reaching down to almost brush the water.

Repost with a robot!

#Robots #Illustration #MadeByHumans
Claptrap from Borderlands, a small yellowish extremely annoying robot (in an endearing way) is playing bagpipes. I’m sure it’s very annoying.

Turned an old Halloween skeleton into a moss pole for the zombie monstera!! 🤣 I love this plant so much 💚 it has come such a long way from the half-dry vine we found after a family member passed
A plastic skeletal torso sits upright in a shallow pot, stuffed full of sphagnum moss, with 4 young monstera vines tied to it for training.

Dropped by a stopover point for white pelican migration yesterday… didn’t see any pelicans but it WAS “oops all red winged blackbirds” day. 😂 Good thing I love RWB!!
A black bird with a red shoulder-cap sits perched on a mostly vertical branch. He’s in the awkward teenager stage between adult and juvenile plumage, which makes his feathers look like they have gold edging ❤️ A black bird with red shoulder caps is in flight again def a blurred brown background of canes.

Hey all, I’ve been “going through some stuff” and I really appreciate y’all sticking around when I haven’t posted much new content in a minute. My mom died a couple of weeks ago after a period of illness… I’m currently burying my brain in making flowerpots to divide up plants from her service ❤️‍🩹

This belted kingfisher photo is not as clear as I like to post but he was all the way on the other side of the pond and I swear it looks like he’s smiling 😂🪶

Omg, I think I’m going home to my pottery supplies soon!! 😭😭😭
I’ve been dealing with family trouble far from home since before the holidays… so I’ll continue posting birds I’m seeing in lieu of fresh art 😁 🪶❤️

A big welcome to all of my new followers and thank you all for coming to hang out!!
A male pileated woodpecker hangs upside down from a small branch, eating nearby berries. He’s a pretty large bird, over a foot long from head to tail, mostly black but with a bright red cap and stripe on his cheek and some white striping on his head.

An egret who is snowy but not Snowy! 😂🪶
Louisiana’s snow should melt today, I’m sure the entire ecosystem is grateful ❄️
a great egret stands in several inches of snow, they look cold 😅
