Focusing on tiny boxes for the foreseeable. I threw a whole bunch on the wheel last week, so expect more of this for until I put little critters on all of them.

Tiny toad work

Fish pitcher. Fishtcher.

Here's some art. Abolish ICE.

I'm going to have a shop update tomorrow at 11am Pacific. One mug, a sake/mezcal set, and a whole host of small creature boxes (1/3)

Work in progress

Working on some tree frog mugs, trying to feel things beyond rage, as you do

Moose requires 20 minutes of fetch every evening. His brother (who is still looking for a home! Adopt Mint Chip!) thinks he's nuts.

Aquarium mug in the works

Angelenos: Mint Chip is about 6 months old and still looking for a home! He's a perfect boy who adores laps, attention, and other cats so much. Adopt him through Santé D'or! www.santedor.org

Spent yesterday at the zoo for day 1 of a life sculpting workshop learning new things.

Cicada experiment in progress. Haven't totally decided what to do with the wings.

Three pieces remain in the shop as of now: Leslielevings.bigcartel.com

Shop update tomorrow at 11am Pacific! Four mugs, a planter, and a small version of the cuttlefish bottle.

Got the big shapes working well, starting to refine and add details for a box turtle box

Made progress on this piece, too. Slip-trailed bladderwrack works as well as I could have hoped!

Working on a pond vessel

This little baby, Mint Chip, is the last of our foster kittens to be adopted. If you know anyone in the LA who needs an absolute sweetie who adores laps, blankets, and other cats, they should get in touch with www.santedor.org

Hey look who's back from firing and will be in the shop Wednesday at 11am Pacific! It's our old friends cuttlefish bottle and hissing possum jar. Leslielevings.bigcartel.com tomorrow!

Waiting for big cuttlefish to come out of the kiln, but meanwhile: mini cuttlefish

Mint Chip is getting to be such a big kitten, but he’s still just a sweet little baby. He can be adopted through www.santedor.org if you need a lap buddy

The other show opening alongside mine Shing's! You can see Armor and Insides both at Stranger Factory on November 1st.

My next show, Insides, will be opening in just a couple weeks at Stranger Factory gallery!

The last weeks before a show are always maximum studio chaos & finishing the tiniest details. Most of my ceramic work is glazed, but a few are finished instead with cold process-- aka paint. Painting individual hairs on a rainy day today. My show "Insides" will open on 11/1 at Stranger Factory
