Pumpcasso! I was inspired by Cubism art for this year's pumpkin carving. Was going for abstract faces. #blueskyartshow #autumn #pumpkin #Halloween #pumpkincarving

This was the mug I made for the 2025 Blindfold Pottery Challenge. Currently up for auction for the Fun Eye Fund to raise awareness for those who are visually disabled. All proceeds will go to help people in need of prosthetic eyes. Auction is live! charityauctions.com/event/auctio...

Tried out a new pulling technique in my pottery wheel. Used both hands outside the pot to pull the clay up. It works! Black porcelain with a matcha matte shino glaze. #pottery #shinoglaze #ceramics #ceramicvase

#Theroad to a perfect vacation begins when you leave your mundane world behind. #Blueskyartshow

Disease. Illness. Attacks on the body at the microspoic level. Recent hospital trauma has left its mark on my psyche. In this piece, I tried to capture that moment of infection. The texture was made with real teeth. Imagine being devoured. #ceramics #contemporaryceramics #pottery #art

Trying out a new look! #pottery #ceramics #ceramicvase

Working on new types of textures and experimenting with ENO #pottery #ceramics #ceramictexture

My favorite bookshop. They have the best selection of indie scifi books with staff reviews.

Decided to try out carving a ceramic piece straight from a fresh block of clay. No wheelthrowing, no handbuilding, no coiling. Just carving. It was exhilarating. #pottery #ceramics #carving #ceramicvase #ceramiccarving

Trying out a new look and technique. Might fire it. Might smash it. 🤔 #pottery #ceramics

My Dia de los Muertos sculpture. Mixed media. The skull is made from wild ceramic clay harvested from my backyard fired to Cone 06. Painted designs made with acryllics. The flower is poly clay. The stem and leaves are copper wire. #ceramics #pottery #mixedmedia #polyclay #wildclay #diadelosmuertos

Lots of #gratitude for the fish restock at our favorite spot. Nothing beats watching the sunrise with your family on the lake while catching your dinner. #BlueSkyArtShow #gonefishing #fishing #family

Working on some home decor. Yes, that's a real deer skull being used as a planter. #skull #homedecor #succulents #southwestdecor

Been working on some different looks and textures. I'm not entirely in love with this shape. Might reclaim and try something else. #pottery #ceramics

Chaos glazing? Let my 5yo show you how it's done. 😉 I let my kiddo go wild all over this drafonfruit vase I made. He picked the colors and the types of glazes. Even picked the brushes to use. I just cleaned up the mess 😅 #pottery #potteryforkids #ceramics #ceramicsforkids #ceramicvase #chaosglazing

What else says #summerdaze like an afternoon at the lake on a hot humid day. #lakephotography #lakepic #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #lake #Summervibes #summertime

Another #sideways profile of a firework during 4th of July. #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #fireworks #4thofjuly #abstractphotography

For the 4th of July holiday I decided to practice some long exposure shots of fireworks. I really like this #sideways profile of a fountain firework. #fireworks #4thofjuly #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #fireworkphoto #ArtYear

Happy 4th of July to all those from the United States 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 And yes, I made this vase.

I wrote a little pot poem #poem #poetry #ceramics #art #pottery

Harvesting wild clay from my own back yard has given me a newfound connection to the land that I call my home. #Wildclay #harvestedclay #homeland #home #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky

It's #mugshotmonday and I wanted to showcase this soup mug I made for my 5yo. He picked the colors. This mug was made with Dragonfruit clay fired to Cone 5. #pottery #ceramics #ceramicmug #mug #soupmug #potterymug #pottersofbluesky

It's officially BBQ season here in my neighborhood and nothing makes me want to go #GetOutside like cutting open a juicy watermelon 🍉 #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #watermelon #Summervibes #bbq #watermelon #summer #photography #foodphotography

My wild clay vase survived the bisque fire at Cone 06! 😁 🥳 Please excuse me while I go do a happy dance. #pottery #ceramics #wildclay #harvestedclay #ceramicvase #pottersofbluesky

My friend showed me his vegetable garden and it was inspiring. #photography #onions #vegetables #garden #homegarden #homesteading #homegrown

I got to cruise thru this romantic #narrow alley on my wedding night. #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #photography

I let my 5yo son glaze this vase with some Amaco Velvet underglazes by just flicking globs of paint from a brush and I feel like he did a great job on it. #pottery #potteryforkids #ceramics #ArtYear #artforkids

This ceramic vase was made using wild clay from my own backyard at my new house. It's straight from the ground! I am beyond excited. Now the fun part of doing all the tests to see what I can make with it. #pottery #ceramics #Wildclay #pottersofbluesky #vase #ceramicvase #ArtYear

That moment when the hot air balloons all take to the sky. What a wonderful moment of #joy #photography #hotairballoon #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear

One of things that brings my kid pure #joy is seeing hot air balloons take flight. This was the "Sky's the Limit" air balloon festival at Ceres, CA #hotairballoon #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #sunrisepic #ArtYear #balloon

Another WIP of a jar with a lid. Been a fun learning process. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #ceramicjar #potteryjar #jar

Finally got my new creation space up in my new home. Decided to learn how to throw jars with lids. I'm experimenting with different shapes first. This will be a small tea jar. #pottery #ceramics #ArtYear #potteryjar #ceramicjar #pottersofbluesky #jar #teajar

Why wake up at 4am to go fishing? For moments like this, when I get to see a #vibrant new sun kiss the lake. 🌞 #BlueSkyArtShow #sunrise #fishing #lake #naturephotos #ArtYear #photography #sunrisepic

This was the luckiest shot I ever took. This is a leucistic hummingbird (not an albino). I was able to get right #underneath it as it hovered by a tree. #hummingbird #photography #naturephotography #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #birdlover #bird

If you've ever been to the Central Valley of California and stood #underneath a sugar gum ball tree, then you'll know what these are. Landmines. Thousands of little wretched landmines just waiting to poke your feet. 😖 #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #naturephotos #sugargumballs #tree

I made this lamp out of a very special bottle of Angel's Envy whiskey and it looks awesome in our new house with the green paint job I did. #whiskey #angelsenvy #homedecor #lamp #diylamp

My new happiness is a family retreat to a remote cabin in the woods on a lake, with no internet or cell phone signal; watching my husband and child fish for our breakfast while I enjoy a cup of coffee from the porch. #happiness #fishing #cabininthewoods #cabinonalake #familyretreat

Spring in Hanover, Illinois, USA. #flowers #spring #midwest

Sorry I haven't posted much. Been out on a honeymoon getaway to an isolated cabin on a lake with my family. Haven't had internet or cell phone signal in days. It's been awesome. #vacation #honeymoon #familyvacation #Lakeside #cabininthewoods #fishing

When did your dream become a reality? For me it was in this moment; seeing one of my vases on the window ledge of my first ever home. 40 years renting finally over. 💓 #home #pottery #ceramics #flowers #flowervase #homedecor

Meet Frutankhamun! The yummy mummy arisen fresh(ish) from the tomb! #pottery #ceramics #pottersofinstagram #handmadehorror #horror #tikimug #monstercereal #yummymummy

Immaculate Conception! Somehow our pumpkin plant got pollinated! 🙃 We have a baby pumpkin growing! 😁😅 #pumpkin #gardening #plants #homegrown

Friendly reminder to get started on your Halloween projects. If you're using a community kiln, put a July 31st deadline on your calendar for final firings to make sure your pieces get finished in time for the Fall season of markets and festivities. #pottery #ceramics #pumpkin #pottersofbluesky

Ever seen a cactus star? 🌵🤨 Well here you go. #photography #naturephotography #cactus #totempolecactus #star #naturalstar

Here is a #green ceramic vase I made with a mtorolite chrome Chalcedony that I also wrapped in bronze wire. Fully functional. This one is available. #pottery #ceramics #ceramicvase #flowers #centerpiece #pottersofbluesky #BlueskyArtYear #ArtYear #flowervase #floraldecor

Wisterias are in bloom at my work and they smell divine. #flowers #flowerpic #wisteria #photography #naturephotography

Yellow is the vibe 💛 This ceramic vase was glazed with the wild clay from Lake Don Pedro. #ceramics #pottery #flowers #flowervase #potteryvase

When the water is so calm, so clear, it looks better than the beautiful sky it's reflecting. #BlueSkyMonday #blue #naturephotos #photography #lakephotos #fishingspot

It's been a busy month for me. As I do lots of adulting things like signing documents and getting appointments lined up, I remind myself that all of it is connected. Life really is a spiderweb of connections. #photography #naturephotos #spiderweb #spider #blueskyartshow #artyear
