Pomegranate ring dishes, with real pomegranates!

Don't worry, no pomegranates were wasted and seeds were all eaten 😉

Yes!! I still feel like I only know a fraction about pottery, there's so much and so many possibilities!

Underglaze is a bit of a learning curve but it's a lot of fun. I definitely prefer it as surface decoration

Last week's kiln reveal 🔥

This was mostly orders but I also was able to run tests, and finish some earrings, a mini petal bowl, a large jewelry dish, and some egg wall hangings

A couple of new organic jewelry/curio trays. These are larger than my previous ones, but I'll have to see what the final size is after firing #pottery #ceramics #art #sculpture #clay #inspiredbynature #unglazed

Some of you just haven’t been to space, and it shows. Sad really.
