My husband, our 2 cats, and I are now in our new home at long last, just waiting on our things to get here. The kitties are enjoying having all this space to explore!

I accidentally posted about my own life updates in a reply post, I feel so silly. I need to sleep!

I watched the first episode of The Cat and the Dragon and had to try my hand at Uncle Wing.

My cat range. 2.5 more days til move in, still waiting for the movers to stop ghosting us, the thank you is for everyone at the red roof inn (soon to become a hilton???) I have an interview with walmart on monday.

I've become fascinated by trippy visuals. It's so much fun to draw colorful shapes. I don't know what I will end up doing with these but I like them.

It looks like life will be more expensive than we anticipated. I need to find a day job as *all* of our stuff is stuck in limbo states away. All of my art supplies, digital, clay, traditional, on a truck in Los Angeles for up to 21 days or longer. I'm having a hard time staying positive.

I caved and bought more paint pens, this time sharpie brand brush pen style. I really like them and exploring what I can do with acrylic markers. It has been a fun challenge using limited (for me) art supplies.

11 days left! Aiwaz, myself, and our 2 cats are doing a pretty good job of not driving eachother mad in close quarters.

17 days til escrow closes. At least my bed is full of sleepy kitty beans.

Happy Pride Month! Pride for me isn't just about oneself, it's about the community. Remember to stick up for everyone in our family 🏳️‍🌈 🎨: @kosperry.bsky.social

The good news is we had our offer accepted, bad news is we have 30 days of escrow before we can move in. But it is happening!

I miss having all my art supplies at my fingertips. I do have a little sketchbook and some different pens so I'm not without anything. I wanna get out there and make stuff again!

Aiwaz, the kitties and I have been staying at a motel while we look for houses, and he works. It has not been easy for any of us, but we have each other, and we will hang in there. No cars just yet either.

Today is the big day! We are flying to Lake Charles! We are as prepared as we are gonna be, and once we find a house we can begin to settle down. I know I can't wait to find my place in Louisiana.

I'm moving to Lake Charles Louisiana next week. May has been a whirlwind of activity. I will miss my ceramic studio job, but I look forward to getting back into full-time art once again. More updates to come!

I'm trying to stay active online. I've gone to a convention for pottery last week that was pretty intense. It did give me fresh motivation to work on keeping my art going. Also I have captured my late cat Bob fairly well so far in this painting. It makes me happy to see his face.

Last day of the #fc2026 dealers Den!!! Let's find a home for this cutie dragon today!!! #fursuitforsale

Last day to buy things at FurtherConfusion2026 On a lark I've put up my display mushroom for sale. You want whimsy? I've got it all. BUY THE FUNGI!!!

Getting ready for the beach.

My husband and I are ready for FurtherConfusion2026 with lots of shiny trinkets for folks to enjoy. Come check us out at table 97 located in the EAST dealer's room. It's my first time vendoring at FC so I'm super excited. The first con I went to was FC 2008 when I was just 19 years old.

I actually finished some wall hangings this year. I enjoy hitting goals I set for myself. Exploring is nice too, seeing what type of things I want to make and elaborating on what interests me.

Critters drying for bisque firing.

More goodies. It's all mugs, all the time.

Small vessels getting made and trimmed this weekend. I'm alive and working hard for FC

It's been a while since I've posted, sorry for the silence. I've been very preoccupied with many different life events, but now that there's a slight lull between holidays, I shall post more.

I am surviving the con as best I can. I don't know if it was because I was working so hard or my age, but I used my time in Reno to catch up on sleep.

Hey look, I have the same table number as last year! My artwork has changed quite a bit though. New designs, more tiny mugs, more mushrooms, more moss.

This and other paintings to be found at table 204 next week at BLFC.

There will be about 3 dozen tikis for sale this year at BLFC. Each one is different and one of a kind as I experiment with slip, glazes, underglazes, and special effects. Prices will vary as well, from $65 up to $130 so there will be something for everyone.

The gay crime dog is back, this time on Imco stoneware 1c clay. Interesting fact about that clay: the spot where it's being harvested is changing composition, so the clay is no longer ^6, it has creeped up to ^8! Nature/geology is wild.

I need chocolate so bad right now thought yall should know.

The first of the tiger tikis emerged from the kiln. I've been having so much fun trying out glazes and playing with different looks. I'm hoping to have 12 for BLFC and a lot more of the monster tikis.

I've been underglazing all day and putting way too much detail into these. I still have a ways to go, but these will be the fanciest of the tigers. Lovingly hand-painted by a dragon that doesn't know how to keep it simple. I may attempt one or two more before BLFC.

Some more mugs are coming out of the kiln. I love the transformation that happens. My online shop is paused while I build up inventory for Blfc. There's going to be so much new and fun stuff that I'm making. Design by @mongrelist.bsky.social They and I have made such cool stuff together!

I'm always trying out new glazes and glaze combos. This batch of mushrooms looks like cupcakes to me. I can't wait to see what these glazes do.

A quick painting I did for my coworker who *loves* birds. Also plays Wingspan once a week. This is a Jambu fruit dove according to pinterest. Acrylic on paper, I made the frame a while back.

The last of the tumblers I threw a while back. I'm experimenting more with Mayco Stroke n' Coat glazes because of the color range, and it's interesting to see how they run. There's the clay body to factor in, the angle of the piece, if it's layered over other glazes, just so much tinkering to do.

This is the most skill/labor intensive part of mold making, the actual plaster casting. Yes I ise my bats as the mold shape; I hot glue them together, Reinforce things with clay and pour the plaster. Cleaning up the edges takes care and I hope I lined things up for a symmetrical mold.

Some small pieces are getting fired, this is the first time I'm using a red clay, so these will look a bit different than the usual ones I make.

The sculpt is ready for plaster.

SCB clay and speckled buff clay tumblers with stroke n' coat glazes. These will fire to cone 6, I hope they turn out.

I think I will do a few black light paintings. I just like the dimensionality of being able to view art in different ways. Here's a new wip!

I'm vending at BLFC again this year, this time I've got new products, an online shop, updated display, and maybe even some prints. Enjoy this painting I'm working on.

New design coming soon!!!

My wolf tiki mug from @kenadragon.bsky.social arrived today! This is an amazing design I've had my eye on for a while. The textures give it a comfortable feeling in the hand. I also won a yeti cooler in a raffle at work. Kaiju and Titan approved. The weekend is off to a great start!

The beastly mug drop is live! thedragonpotter.bigcartel.com

This is Amaco's Dark star glaze with Laguna lavender filigree on the rim. Both are super runny glazes so the filigree ran in long lines. Dark star and the rest of the cosmos series is often overlooked because they are gassy glazes, but they are great for planters, plates, and decorative things.

This Friday I'll be dropping some stuff in my shop. This is the LAST wolf tiki of this mold, time to start something new.

Glaze test of some Ritual Glazes I ordered a few weeks ago. Green gloop, orange crawl, black bead, and red gloss. They do different things over different glazes too. Also Laguna lavender filigree, matte pink, brilliant sunburn, and Amaco Supernova. All over amaco velvet underglazes.
