Domino struts, so bold, so bright,
Glazed and fired in black and white.
Tip him, flip him, watch him play,
He brings the fun night and day!

I’m deeply surprised this one didn’t sell over the weekend. It’s still #Available if you’re interested and in the Kirkland area through Friday (we leave REALLY EARLY Saturday morning for the Holidays in Japan.

#ThankYall for the most amazing year! It’s been a year of growth on so many levels: I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement I have received all year.

My #MaKing is paused as we head to #Japan for the rest of the year: but stay tuned for food porn!

My last pottery restock of the year is live. This porcelain skeleton embedded in a mossy rock outcrop was such a fun mug to sculpt.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5 - Freshly-thrown mugs.

I’ve got a lot of Christmas orders I need to get out on time, so I sat down for 30 minutes to throw tonight. This is a white speckled clay, but the speckles don’t show up until after the second firing. #pottery #art #ceramics

Sizing test 2: gelatin because even if I could get my hands on rabbit skin, that stuff stinks. Not any more impressive than gum Arabic, though I learned I'm supposed to use alum as well? Dang, another sizing test...
