In just a few days, I'll be going offline for about two weeks. I'll be in one of my favorite places doing my favorite thing: creating a new session of Wayward on Quadra Island. Art and foster kitten updates will resume in early October! Waywardretreats.com

Available sometime soon (once they've a little bigger and can be fixed, vaxed, microchipped etc) through the very excellent LA cat gallery(rescue) Santé D'Or: these artisanally hand-raised kittens.

Update goes live today at 11am Pacific!

I keep saying this is a mosasaur! I meant ichtyosaur!

Little shop update tomorrow! Two tree frog mugs, one tree frog vase, a mosasaur mug, and little lizard bud vase! Saturday at 11am Pacific. Here are the mugs:

Foster kitten update: they're all so sweet and also such maniacs.

Rough sketchy work in progress

I think I’ve got six of these guys left currently! (I may try to make another batch of them in October if time permits). Leslielevings.bigcartel.com

The foster kittens have two modes: chaos demon and the most unconscious anyone has ever been

The more pieces that are reaching the finish line for this fall show, the more excited I get about it. Here’s a little peek. My show, “Insides” will open at Stranger Factory in New Mexico on November 1, along side a show by Shing Yin Khor (always a very good combo, IMO).

Gotham is so happy that we got him babies.

Work in progress

Each of the foster babies is going to make someone a really great buddy.

Meanwhile, nothing to see here-- just three little baby kittens.

They're up! At Leslielevings.bigcartel.com

Sorry they're a few minutes late, but the shop is live now! Leslielevings.bigcartel.com

I've made some Beastlies! AND because it's fall, it's time for Punkin Nibblets! Both will be in the shop on Saturday at 11am Pacific.

Foster kitten photo update

Shop update at Monday at 11am Pacific! Handful of things, starting with this cuttlefish vessel. (Rest of update in 🧵)

Our Santé D'Or foster Orange Sherbet and our Santé D'Or alum Oslo

Oh hey, I still make things! I'm getting a shop update ready for the next few days. Including a few frog things.

I love when pals end up with my work!!

Tuckered out from morning mayhem

Your daily Scoops

They have finally moved out of our bathroom and into a pen! The big boys are unsure about this.

These pushovers were feral little hiss-monsters like two days ago, and now look at them.

We are now officially fostering these five babies! Here's an intro 🧵: ORANGE SHERBET - the leader - bravest - first to decide humans are okay

Pandemonium in the shower

My week took an unexpected turn and now I’m in charge of five flea-bitten, hissing demons.

Shing’s beautiful marionette musical short film is something you should support for a hundred reasons, but one of them is that handmade, heartfelt art like this is the anti-slop and that makes me feel optimistic in a way not much does these days.

Shop update Friday at 1pm Pacific! More frogs obviously, but also an octopus, a beetle and a carved planter. (1/2)

Can I offer you a goldfish bowl in these perpetually, deeply trying times

Ok! So the shop update will be tomorrow, 8/6 at 1pm Pacific. Here's a thread of what will be in it. First, a couple fossil mugs and a Guardian vessel:

Working on getting a shop update together in the next few days. Including two wee boxes:

Hi new folks! I’m Leslie, I make mostly ceramic work- lots of frogs and fish and bugs and fossils and scruffy creatures. I have a mailing list if you want to be sure to catch shop updates. I’ll also post em here, too. Next one should be within a week or so! buttondown.com/leslielevings

Now that the halves match, it’s just about time for slow drying

Spent today on the top half. Bottom half soon.

Tree frog mug in progress

A mom raccoon has been bringing her two kids through the yard lately

Just some little guys

Thursday at noon Pacific, I’ll have these five pieces in the shop. Two carved planters, two fossil mugs, and one more piece that I have to put in the next post because they only let you do four pics....

Work in progress

Return of raccoon pot

A little drafting

Creature shrine in the works

Please enjoy my cat and the tomatoes from the garden today.

Frog bowl o’clock is soon (noon Pacific) in the shop (Leslielevings.bigcartel.com)
