Crashed out today from a bad FND flare and bought $281 in punch needle supplies in case you’re wondering how my life is going

Peachtober prompt was poppies today ❤️ 🤍💚🖤

“I have no idea why I feel so weird today” thinks person diagnosed with Feeling Weird Disease

Just listed some new ceramics! These are the first pieces I’ve been able to put out after 4 months of chronic illness. I am so freakin proud

I conducted a survey about the often-predatory practice of asking consigning artists to provide unpaid labor to stores in exchange for waived consignment fees. Check it out here: bus20ceramics.com/blogs/franki...

Making art is not about creating a perfect, sellable result. It’s not even about ending up with a finished product. It’s about the practice. Its greatest rewards are internal.

Do you ever film a video and wonder if your entire social security number is somewhere in the background and you’re not gonna notice but it’ll be the first comment on the video and you’ll be so embarrassed you perish on the spot

People will go to insane lengths to try to justify the use of AI for creating art. Most recently I’ve seen content arguing that it makes art accessible. As a disabled artist I HEAVILY disagree. AI only makes art accessible if you think work made in the style of a disabled artist isn’t art

Me: I really need to lock in on my goals and refine my skills in my existing hobbies Also me: I should try stained glass My bank account: 👁️ 👄 👁️ Me: or perhaps piano lessons

Worries are imagined realities, and creative people by nature can imagine and create worlds which don’t exist. It stands to reason then that creative people are uniquely predisposed to anxiety—and that creation in the right form could help alleviate it.

Me: I love ceramics, pottery is amazing, I’m never going to take ceramics for granted again Ceramics:

Back making pottery slowly but surely after my #fnd diagnosis! Thank goodness for my wet box which kept all my pots leather hard for months during this flare. Literally cried tears of joy seeing these mugs. I’ll never take my abilities for granted again

New journal comic about all the unsolicited medical advice and strange questions I’ve gotten since my #fnd diagnosis

Glazing a 14lb amphora I threw before I got sick. It’s been sitting on a shelf waiting for me and it feels like the perfect time. A tribute to CMAT’s “I Wanna Be a Cowboy Baby!”

I wrote a free beginner’s guide to selling at craft markets! It goes over market red flags to watch out for, financials, what you need to get started, what makes a good market, and more. Check it out on my blog ❤️ bus20ceramics.com/blogs/franki...

There are a lot of reasons why #handmadeart careers are dying. Between people expecting sweatshop pricing, SHEIN and Temu resellers infiltrating the handmade market, and stagnant wages for customers, it’s harder to make it as a handmade artist—at least without breaking your mind and body 1/5

Looking for shops who might carry my zine on #longcovid and #fnd hit me with your recs! It’s a 12 page, bound with thread on nice cream cardstock.

Added supplies to my new creative space with the help of my awesome partner! Now trying to move some glaze and bisque inside will be the next step

Someone helped me create an accessible workspace today to help me cope with a recent disability. Would love to see people share how others have helped them lately. Maybe it will inspire us to be creative in how we help others. GIMME SOME IDEAS

My name’s Frankie and I make ceramics, illustrations, stickers, and bad jokes! Throwing pots in Portland since 2020

Happy almost Valentine’s Day! Excited to bring these mug sets back soon!
