Just finished this bee drawing 🐝
Charcoal, pencil, chalk pastel, and colored pencils on paper.

I like doing detailed work, but it takes a lot out of me so I don't do it too often. Feels good to exercise those art muscles though, lol 💪 🎨

A fun mental exercise that I do to keep my color practice sharp: whenever I see colors in the world that I like I imagine how I would recreate that color with paint. I think of mixing paint because I did a lot of that in art school. It's a fun practice, and you can do it anywhere, anytime.

This lovely ceramic art commission is a tarot deck holder/incense holder
🔥♥️🔥

Based off of my sponge holder design. Totally works for holding tarot decks too!

I love when people suggest different ways to use my pottery designs.

These little figurines are based off of cake toppers that were based off sweet puppy dogs. 💚

This lovely sacred vessel is food safe and available to purchase
(Located across the street from the Ark Pet Spa on Dayton Blvd)

This is one of those pieces that took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with it.

While I was painting, I thought about the act of self-reflection and "looking into the void."
Which could be taken many ways, but for me it means contemplating that which is unknowable. Recognizing how we are both so big and so small at the same time.
Little universes everywhere.

Dragonfly stamp/mold made by drawing a dragonfly into clay and then making a plaster mold of it so I can use it as a kind of stamp.

Experimenting with wood firing pottery.

The dish was bisqueware the beads were greenware.
The larger beads didn't make it, but the smaller beads and the bisqueware dish came out great!
Definitely need more study and practice.

I know I've been absent for a minute. My kiln has been out of commission since December and I was sick for the month of January. Got to feeling much better physically, got parts for my kiln, had it rewired and connected, ran a successful test fire to cone 06 and then......one of the terminals burned and melted the top switch. 😑☠️😑 Thankfully only in one spot, everything else was fine.
We can fix it, but it requires more work and a couple more parts.

In the meantime, I'm investigating wood firing techniques. I'll continue to share my results 🔥🏺🔥

What kind of wood fired pieces would you like to see? Planters? Vases? Offering bowls/dishes? Cauldrons?

Artists who use beads, what size and style of beads would you be interested in seeing wood fired?
