Hi! It’s been forever since I’ve last posted so I thought I’d reintroduce myself:

My name is Lena and I enjoy creating cute pottery in hopes that they bring joy to people online and in their homes 🌷

I’m excited to share my ceramics journey here from now on (both the good and bad!)

Yay thank you!! I wasn’t 100% sure about it at first, but I’ve grown to love it more than I did after staring at it for a while and reading everyone’s comments 🙇‍♀️

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 12m

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with this one ^^

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 13m

Aaa I’m so glad, thank you for the reassurance!! I wasn’t entirely sure if the glazes worked well together or not. Always nice to get other people’s opinions!

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 15m

Yay!! I was trying to go for that swampy vibe 😭

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 16m

Why do these neighborhood strays keep stressing me out

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 17m

As you can see in the video, it was dark when we finally got him. He was stuck up there for a while 😅

After many methods, we finally got him down with the carrier I used to trap an injured stray previously! Luckily I hadn’t donated it yet

YES!! Desert dusk with splotches of green tea hehe

The last time I made this, the alligator was a lot more green and stood out. This time, I used the same type of green that I used on the mug in an attempt to make it look more cohesive? 😳

Do we like the look of these alligator mugs?!

A photo of my hand holding up a wavy ceramic mug with a small alligator sitting on the handle. The mug is glazed with a mix of orange and brown with splotches of pale green all around. There are green leaves in the background since i took thins photo of the mug in front of a green bush.

Another angle of the wavy ceramic mug with a small alligator sitting on the handle so you can get a better look at the inside of the mug. The inside has bigger splotches of the pale green glazes mixed with the orange brown glaze.

Always welcome visitors, especially with cute little paws!!

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 5h

It was definitely a pleasant surprise 😆

I’m mainly collecting cards from tomokazu komiya, but I also really love shibuzoh and sekio! I could stare at their work all day

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve been having a lot of fun looking through my brother’s bulk cards and collecting certain artists and pokemon

Did the grinding sound of the jars summon all the neighborhood strays or something…

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 1d

Moments later, my brother sent me this photo of me from behind. I had no idea another cat showed up 😭

I was trying out this grinding paste for the lids of my jars since they didn’t fit as well as I would’ve liked and a stray cat came by and hung out beside me!

Really happy with how the glaze on this seal jar turned out!! It’s so pretty in the sun 🦭

Making snails is so much more difficult than I thought it’d be 🐌

Holding up an unfired ceramic matcha bowl with to a wavy rim and spout. The there are wavy vertical lines carved on the outer part of the bowl and a small sculpted snail on the opposite end of the spout.

Another angle of the unfired ceramic matcha bowl to showcase the wavy rim.

Thank you!! 🙇‍♀️

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 9d

Thank you so much! Hopefully all goes well in the end 🤞😫

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 10d

It’s so small! Probably the smallest thing I’ve sculpted so far 🥹 thank you!!

🌷Lena🌷 @alunimoon.bsky.social · 10d

Tysm 💖 I totally underestimated it this time around and took me a while to make since all the little details kept falling and cracking on me. So tough!!
