This is one of my favorite pieces from my most recent kiln opening. The Sapphire Float glaze makes this dish sparkle. I’ve added this and other new pottery to my shop just in time for the holidays. If you’re looking for something handmade or one of a kind, take a peek: goimagine.com/beachumclayw...

This is very much how I feel these days but…buy from artists if you can. None of us are Billionaires. #Pottery

As grief practitioners, we guide others through the “firsts.” But what about all the holidays that come after? Explore Kara’s reflections on creative meaning-making beyond the first year: https://creativegriefstudio.substack.com/p/re-making-the-holidays

I can’t understand how there is any pink in metro Atlanta for the PSC races. GA Power has a stranglehold on the consumers there. My power bills consistently went up there despite changes made to the house to make it more energy efficient. I understand that it’s even worse now. I 💙 blue GA though.

Just sitting over here realizing I put the Chun too close to the bottom on a few mugs and wine tumblers. Tomorrow me gets to wipe it off and re-glaze those sections tomorrow. Weeee!

"It was helpful having tools demonstrated to see how we can implement them. I observed how others respond & hold space for each reaction. I also enjoyed the demonstration videos and recordings too, which increased the hands-on experience." Dana Cray, CGS Alumni https://short.fo/CGScertification

Hubs researched the Smithsonian Institution way of hanging Native American rugs and mounted the one we purchased on vacation in Santa Fe, NM. Today it was installed. So pleased we’ll get to enjoy it every day now.

“It’s a practice, not a perfect.” That simple phrase carries a lot of meaning. Creative Grief Studio Founder, Kara, tells the story of how these words first took root in her life and work.

This was the day before the military was moved into DC. Miller was trying to paint a dystopian image of the so-called violence when a cute little family strolled by with not a care in the world. Absolute idiocy.

The memes make themselves. Stephen Miller says that the DC streets are “more violent than Baghdad” as a cute little family of four strolls by on…the streets of DC. 🙄 I didn’t use a meme creator here. This was the actual closed caption on the video I was watching.

"A sense of catharism was experienced as everyone became vulnerable with their own grief experiences in the safe space provided. I learned that we can allow our grief experiences to become a beautiful journey of rediscovery." Dana Cray, CGS Alumni https://short.fo/CGScertification

I can wring my hands with the best of them. Today I chose my peace. I checked in on the budget bill, but we could see where that was going after the Senate passed it. I didn’t let it commandeer my time. I checked on the wildlife & wildflowers. Made a little pottery and made plans with neighbors. 1/3
