Delighted to have my story "Alice", in this year's Hp Lovecraft Film Festival's Microfiction collection! I love these little volumes, and it's always an honor to be included 🐙✨

Very lovely hike this morning!
A very gentle fog along a green hillside with trees and the sun visible. Light streams through treetops with a blue sky overhead. My husband looks on at the morning light streaming through the trees.

Little treasure out of the soda kiln today 🐸
My hand holding a small soda fired frog in shades of green and gray. Lots of pots in the background. A front view of my hand holding the little soda fired frog. You can see his smile more clearly.

I took an amazing workshop with artist Natalia Arbalaez this weekend on constructing reusable armatures for sculpture making, and four and two legged figures. It was seriously a game changer. And so much fun!

I give you cat riding a vulture horse 😇

Came home from a long but good day at the ceramics studio to find my Hugo Finalist pin in the mail!!

Received as being part of the utterly AMAZING team skeleton @thedeadlands.com 🖤🖤🖤💀
A picture of me smiling at the camera with my hand near my little silver Hugo Finalist pin, which is a rocket ship. My certificate from Seattle Worldcon 2025 which announces The Deadlands as Hugo finalist for Best Semiprozine.

This pic gives a sense of how tall this kiln is. I'm on one knee (5'7") and the person on the outside is standing on a short stool.

Atmospheric firing requires so much teamwork! It's truly satisfying work.
A picture of me from behind talking to another potter. I'm on one knee in the kiln and holding a post. Pots sit beside and behind me.

Wood fire kiln loading today! My toad sculpture is all ready 🔥
A picture of me from above. I’m inside of our train kiln gluing wads to kiln posts. The already loaded pots are to my right. I’m continuing to wad the posts. With me kneeling, my head just clears the kiln opening. A row of pots at the top front of the kiln, including a large toad sculpture that I’ve circled with a green heart.

My afternoon reading, and let me tell you, it is a delight 🦋
A copy of Butterflies of the Bay Area by Liam O’Brien featuring a large butterfly against a cream background. An inside look at the book. The chapter is The Skippers (Hesperiidae), and is printed on lavender paper. The opposite page features a painting of two butterflies on a flower.

Someone woke up grumpy 🖤🖤🖤
Batman the black cat is standing on a white blanket on a grey couch and looks half asleep. Batman the black cat looks a little more awake but there is anger in his eyes.

Had a tough but also amazing day wood firing at Laney College today. Was hard leaving the kiln yard after my (6hr) shift.
Me, looking at the camera. I'm wearing an orange bandana over my hair and and red one around my neck. I have on regular glasses and protective glasses on my head. Sporting yellow plaid! And very red faced and exhausted looking but smiling.
