Roughest draft of a very risky composition. I'm trying not to get too attached to this piece in case it's not destined to survive firing. Those skinny legs and tail are making me nervous.

Tuesday 6/23 at 11am Pacific! A whole collection of tiny trinket boxes with their steadfast little guardians on top will be in the shop. Here's a thread of them! Leslielevings.bigcartel.com

Work in progress

Shop update with six pieces tomorrow at 1pm Pacific! Various kinds of things, like fossil mug, frog-topped trinket boxes, a fish monster jar, our ol buddy the hissing possum, and a fish intersection vase. See you Friday! leslielevings.bigcartel.com

Workshop starts this Friday! If you're interested but the timing is bad for you, worry not: anyone who is registered can attend in person or just watch the recording later!

Glazing day

We’re in the last days to register for my online workshop! pocosinarts.org/product/big-...

Time to put a variety of small creatures on little boxes

Oh my goodness

Oh hi new people! I'm glad you like the possum! I also have stuff going on like a gallery show (archimedesgallery.com/search?q=les...) and an online workshop coming in June about sculpting and visual storytelling (pocosinarts.org/product/big-...). But if you're just into the possum that's cool too.

Sardine vase in progress

I've been going flat-out on the ceramic work for quite a while. Maybe a round of Beastlies would feel nice to make before diving back in.

I’m attending a wedding in the Bay Area this week, and it didn’t make sense to drive back home between that and my art show in Oregon. So I’m taking the slow drive up the coast, stopping at every tide pool I can find on the west edge of the country. Today I inspected small rocks for an hour.

Shop update tomorrow at noon! I couldn't stop making tree vessels with frogs (and a cicada) on them. Plus one fossil mug that was supposed to be in the last update, but dawdled a little at the kiln. leslielevings.bigcartel.com

Pieces back from the kiln today. Waiting on one more, then I’ll put them in the shop.

Plus other things I'm always delighted to see clinging to trees
