I saw the artist post these little bone stakes out of context the other day and thought they were cool then, but I’m completely obsessed now that I’m seeing them in use! Amazing.

All my plants are scraggly and half dead because I’m a bad plant mom, but when I stick a Bone Stake or two in there, now it looks on purpose!

A twiggy plant with a single leaf in a crusty terracotta pot. Sticking out of the soil is a single, white, ceramic bone. A little ominous if you ask me.

These are so sweet, what a nice idea 🤍

Worry stones or sensory stones, handmade with either porcelain or stoneware. One side is illustrated with a cute little friend and the other has a quote or nothing. I keep one in my pocket and it’s a cool, heavy-ish for the size, little reminder that it’s ok.

I LOVE these! Especially the porcelain ones. What a cool idea

WIP from last week. I’m inspired by the work ethic of fellow studio members starting their holiday production, so I’m starting too! Coffin vase concept, group of coffin wall pockets, bolo ties, lace impressions.

Summer is for slow livin’
Markets have come to a halt and sales are happening at a snails pace. I’m making an effort to take this season as a blessing in disguise, a time to stock up for the fall and winter.
I have a new WEBSITE:

Practicing our harmonies for our show at Gasa Gasa in New Orleans this Saturday 5/24. Our last show was the debut live singing debut for both Faith and Pax and they (and John!) sounded lovely together.

Five hours of work on botanical impression dishes in 1:25. Thankfully I was able to find another bag, but the studio I work at hasn’t been able to get the porcelain I use so I was really trying to get the most out of that slab. Nasturtium, fig, oak, and pomegranate.

Thank you! Always looking for beach recommendations. I’ve only been in the south for a year now and haven’t explored very many.

Jackpot of doll part molds from the 80’s at one of the studios I work at. Look out for these being incorporated into the line up this year!

Fresh picked strawberry charms! These were extremely popular at Gay Easter this weekend. I feel like I’m never able to make enough 🍓

A bowl of strawberries being held by the artist’s left hand over a blue and white background. Mixed with the fresh strawberries in the bowl is 10 hand sculpted, hand painted face charms with strawberries painted on them.

Charm batch coming through for Gay Easter this weekend. Underglazed and bisqued, they’re cooling from their glaze fire right now. Who else lives in fear in the shadow of potential failure when firing a lot at once? Fingies crossed!
#porcelain #weirdclay #neworleans #nolaartist #ceramics #charms

67 hand sculpted porcelain charms in their bisque stage. The charms are in the shape of faces, hands, coffins, butts, strawberries, and skulls on a round plate. Each charm is painted with designs of masks, clowns, art deco woman’s faces, and strawberries over their basic shapes.

04 bisque -> ^6
How they shrink! The struggle I have with charms is that I feel like I need at least 100 to make a good display. How I love making them! Here’s the latest batch for my upcoming Mardi Gras events.
