Finally. A larger berry bowl that has not broken during the bone dry stage. Very happy with this glaze combo! #pottery #ceramics

An urn for my friend’s beloved cat. #ceramics #pottery

The shark is done! Oldest kid is happy! #ceramics #pottery

Butterfly chimes installed! #ceramics #pottery

Butterflies for the chime are complete! Now to arrange and hang. #pottery #ceramics

Now that the gift has been given, I can share the mushroom jar I made for a friend! #pottery #ceramics

Butterfly chimes take two. And a plate. And a butterbell bottom that needed more glaze in one section. #pottery

Snake guy. I wish I had used the Forest Green glaze on the lower body of this one instead of the Royal Blue. I think sometimes simple is better. But I love how the snake turned out. #pottery #ceramics

Favorite thing I made in my hand building class. #pottery #ceramics #tomato

Sun bleached hydrangeas #hydrangeas

Real talk? I’ve made 3 berry bowls. Only the small one has survived. I keep breaking them in the sanding stage. And the small one is getting a second glaze fire to try and fill in some small cracks. Berry bowls don’t seem to like me.

Aptly named Flowerpot Parasol. #mushroom

Hand building class is done. I glazed my final two pieces tonight. I should have five pieces total for a six week class. #pottery #ceramics

I think I need more butterflies, and my opal luster turned out more tan than opal. And my purples look the same, so idk. #pottery #ceramics #glazeproblems

Working on a wind chime! #pottery #ceramics

The beetles are eating the rose bush. ☹️

The kid’s request is fulfilled! #pottery #ceramics

Just some flowers I photographed today

That’s a cute fish! ♥️

I’m not the only one in the house that likes ceramics. #ceramics #pottery

Hand building class fun #pottery #ceramics

New project 🫐 #pottery #ceramics

New mood

Some progress.

Working on something.

I forgot how much I love this place.

Daisy turned 16 earlier this month. She got some mountain time this week. ❤️

Fish cup and mushroom pot. I love how the transfers turned out! #pottery #ceramics

I’ve got the shingles y’all. So I’m avoiding the community pottery studio until I run through my antiviral Rx. Here’s a picture of some red salvia I planted this weekend.

The mug from the mind of the younger child is complete! #pottery #ceramics

Working on chess pieces for the elder child. #pottery #ceramics

Fresh out of the kiln! Super happy with my teacup/espresso cup. That spot I was worried about on the smaller chip and dip did, in fact, not take any glaze. And my large chip and dip bowl came out stunning! Not what I was expecting, but she is a beauty! #pottery #ceramics

Muscle mug got glazed today! Started with Amaco Obsidian, then added a wavy line of Mayco Jungle Gems Blue Azure in hopes to create a galaxy effect. Fingers crossed it works! #pottery #ceramics

Glaze applied to butterfly teacup/espresso cup. Also two chip and dip platters. One has a spot that the glaze was not adhering. Maybe a dot of wax resist? Hope not! #pottery #ceramics

Surgery was successful. Arms rehydrated and attached to new vessel. Crossing my fingers that they stay attached this time. #pottery #ceramics

Maybe we weren’t meant to wake up and read 20 terrible things immediately.

This little cutie is coming along nicely, which is great because my muscle mug lost its muscles. I’m hoping to do some surgery on it tomorrow after some time in the rehydration box. 🤞🏻#pottery #ceramics

Front and back of the new mug. I’m telling myself that people aren’t perfectly symmetrical, so it’s fine if the arms aren’t perfectly symmetrical.

Daisy girl got a haircut and a bath today. That’s a lot of excitement for this almost 16 year old.

Working on a bunch of different things currently, but this from the mind of my younger kid. #pottery

The hyacinths near the solar lights always bloom first.

She is home! She’s even more lovely than I had imagined. She also has an interior crack that makes her ill suited for beverages. So, she will be my trimming tools holder.

Welp. I made the rookie mistake of forgetting how fragile the bone dry stage is. I was carving a design into the butterfly wing and it broke. 😭 I’m in mourning. Please respect my privacy at this time.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest
