A lil about me: I have Crohn’s disease! As a result, I’ve had most of my small intestine removed over the years, there’s like 3 feet of those guys left in there. Thus, these crocheted intestines are actually not an UNrealistic representation of my intestinal tract! #crochet #amigurumi #crohns

Putting my lil amigurumi to work as price holders, make them earn their keep

not a bad fit for a first semi-successful result! #pottery #liddedjars

My lidded jar journey continues, but this time with a deadline 😬😬 Throwing them separately, throwing them as one piece, I don’t know what I’m doing but folks, we’re having fun #pottery #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #liddedjars

salt cellars? sure, why not! experimental sunday! #pottersofbluesky #saltcellar

A study in bud vases / cat comfort #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #cats #caturday

took a quick breakaroo and now I’m BACK - I’ve been doing a lot of folding over and squeezing in, so it’s a nice change to be bellying out today, babyyyyyy #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #bellyout

Me: I am too busy all the time and the world is on fire and we’re heading into an empty-shelves recession Also Me: learning to crochet will solve everything #crochet #amigurumi #thewoobles

excited to load up my ~pin ball machine~ aka my mystery ceramic gumball dispenser! This year: pins! 75 lil fellas in there even though it looks slightly… empty, lol #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #pins #craftcation

why yes, my mother IS very disappointed that I only use my iron on cross stitch, how did you know #crossstitch

Not my usual style but I like how these turned out! I call the aesthetic “oh shit there’s still room in the kiln and I gotta throw something in quick” #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky

just gonna draw weird lil cats forever #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #underglaze #cats

chat, is it good when you are selling at an event in less than a week and your guys are still greenware 🥴🥴 #pottery #pottersofbluesky

We are quickly hurtling towards the day when my ceramic egg buddies are cheaper than real eggs. America! #pottery #pottersofbluesky #lilguys #eggs

good morning from today’s lil guys #pottery #pottersofbluesky #lilguys

I made a cross stitch for any time this guy comes up

My main man Meoward has only one tooth left in his elderly head, so I’m making some pet bowls with ridges in the bottom which I think could help him control his tongue a little better and eat more easily? We’re gonna find out! #pottery #ceramics #cats

omggggg I love how this turned out! lil cat dimples for all cups from now on, this is the rule #ceramics #pottery #cats #caturday

hahahaha my “crying” emojis became “screams of the eternal damned” emojis #tinypottery #emoji #pins #pottery

smiling clouds or off-brand Pokémon? YOU DECIDE! #ceramics #tinypottery #pins

new cutie alert #pottery #guacamole #holyguacamole

choose your fighter: dimple cups edition! which lil guys are the lil guys for you?? #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky

my assistant is on pot #pottery #ceramics #cats

I usually throw my cups pretty wide because my hands are fairly large and in charge, so finally trying some with thumb indents for the daintier babes amongst us #pottery #ceramics

A new fun thing is I swear that my wheel is making me seasick?? Just a human body being cool, a genius who doesn’t know if I am at land or sea

sometimes my brain simply can’t process how to account for the top and bottom of something being off-center from each other and my foot ends up just wildly drunk, like this is some kinda Magic Eye bowl where you gotta unfocus your eyes to even perceive it, lol #pottery

despite the fires and the earthquakes and the mud slides and the traffic and the crazy people and the EVERYTHING, sometimes Los Angeles gives you a day where you can throw in the morning and slap that shit in the sun for an hour and trim in the afternoon, what a lil treat for lil ol me

man, digging in my garage to take pictures for Etsy is revealing how many pieces I just plopped on a shelf and forgot about - snake plates? Christmas mugs? Cat dishes? I remember y’all, long time no see #ceramics #potteryproblems

did a bit of a soft Etsy update with the first half of my stizz if you are in the market for a bowl or a cup or a novelty mug! www.homemaydenbyshayden.etsy.com #pottery #ceramics #art #bsnm #etsy

it’s good actually to wait until the photography stage to find out if your concept actually works - it does! Lil tea mugs with lil tea buddies to hold lil teabags 😭😭😭 #ceramics #pottery #tea #mugs

inspired by the Ides of March to stab my own brain to death in the form of taking product photos: listing items online is terrible, why don’t strangers from the internet simply come to my house and go through my things, that would be a better system imho

BOWLS: WE GOT EM - so relieved that the new kiln schedule seems to have worked out quite well! Now I got dippin bowls, snackin bowls… just those two really, what else could you need #crafts #snacks #bookclub #pottery #ceramics #art #bowls

too hot to really dig in yet but I am cautiously optimistic that, at the very least, trying the Camille Hoffman schedule has NOT resulted in abject disaster! Looks like the top shelf got to a semi-hot cone 5, extremely curious what’s going on in the rest of it!

Gonna try the Camille Hoffman cone 5 schedule on my kiln tomorrow and ya gurl is NERVOUS, but I am so sick of pinholes, time to risk it all. Anybody done it? I think a lil drop and hold action is what I need to give the glaze a little more time to heal!

real happy with how these cuties turned out! unfortunately for my sanity, trying to incorporate a little more drawing into my work - worth it I hope! #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #art #crafts #snacks

selling at Craftcation, a craft business conference (in Ventura, CA at the end of April that you can still get tickets for if that’s your bag!) and I feeeeeeeeeel like this is understanding the assignment #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #craftcation #craftcation2025 #crafts #snacks

L O L, can’t believe it took me this long to realize adding some serifs to my handwriting makes it look sliiiiiightly less like a cry for help #pottery #handwriting #lettering #underglaze

this is the direction I’m going instead of reading the book for book club, lol - what snacks are y’all snacking on during reading (that a 38 year old child could also draw!) #pottery #ceramics #reading #bookclub #snacks

Stick a straw in me, I’m done - they look like Real Cups once you throw the straw in! #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown #sippycups

I am self conscious about my painting skills because they are… rudimentary, let’s say, but also trying to embrace the “fuck it, we ball” lifestyle #ceramics #pottery #underglaze #painting

I love having my cats be able to goof around with me in my garage pottery studio, except that they make it impossible to like… DO pottery, lol

Got 12 more dip bowls undecorated, what dippin sauces should I add to my repertoire? Obvs need some Ranch representation but also… Nacho cheese? Honey mustard? KETCHUP?? There’s just so many dips for dip dinner #ceramics #pottery #dippingsauce #tajin #sriracha #dipdinner

My most authoritarian trait is forcing my own opinion on bowl use onto the consumer - CHICKEN NUGS DIPPIN ONLY OR DONT BUY IT, lol #pottery #ceramics #dippingsauce

Sorry, everybody - I started with the sad side of this cross stitch piece which has surely been the cause of our global collapse, that’s my b. Now that I’m starting the happy side all our problems will be solved! #crossstitch

He’s so powerful, a purrfect bowl that he made that I definitely did not make and a vacant stare, the signs of an artiste #pottery #pawttery

Update: he survived, and he’s glorious

The great thing about working small is you can throw AND trim 24 guys in the same sesh! #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrown

Why is power turquoise so good, why is it SO GOOD - #laguna power turquoise over speckled b mix clay! Planter w a lil loop for holding a dowel for growing and support! #pottery #ceramics #plants #plantsky #pottersofbluesky
