Same! We were watching LOTR and Galadriels swan boat floated onto the screen and I was like “Tch. Lucky….WAIT! I know how to make stuff!” LOL

I’m so incredibly proud of this sculpture I did for the latest show at the gallery. Sometimes I surprise myself with the things I make and this was one of them

Crowded art gallery opening with visitors viewing framed artwork on white walls, track lighting overhead.

Visitors mingling at a gallery event, some taking selfies, with lens flare from overhead lights.

Window sign reading “RIDGEFIELD art gallery” with tagline “A local artist cooperative brought to you by the Ridgefield Art Association 501(c)(3)” with blurred visitors and balloons inside.

I photographed the opening of the Ridgefield Art Gallery, where my wife @kaylin-rose.bsky.social is a managing member. I like these dark and moody images looking in from outside.

In the final throws of holiday market prep and I once again am struggling to release these pieces from my greedy claws. I hate repainting the same thing twice so once it’s gone I probably won’t paint it again ✨

Been watercolor painting on maple seeds to pass the time✨

Ooooo, you could totally do a set up!!! And I don’t think it’s too expensive either. Everything around me is flammable sooo

Yeah! I’ve only done it once and it’s a WHOLE thing, but the results are so pretty! Have you seen people do small scale raku with a microwave?

Oh ew precision. May the clay gods favor you because that’s the worst

Cold rain and wind whipping around me as I clutch my potted jasmine and grumpily mutter, “Happy first day of spring?” 😑☔️

This! I have a group raku firing on Monday and my kiln is only 1/3 full 😩

Ohhh dust is diabolical. I lived with a dust bubble on my last iPad for too long and every time my eye would catch it my blood pressure would spike lol

Ok! Yes! Jack in boxes from hell. I started smacking mine against the edge of the counter instead of the slow peel - that way you’re already expecting a loud pop

Dipping back into tiny paintings. When I get my paws on some nail art/miniatures brushes…let me tell you!

They are SO satisfying right?! If you sew them on something I’d love to see! I need to find something to sew some buttons on…

These pearlescent buttons I made were a labor of love to be sure, but I’m oh so pleased with them ✨

Lovin’ that croc in particular 💕

The colder it gets the more I feel like a frozen frog in a pond and I can’t move my limbs to do anything!

Choo can do eeet

I hate it here

My little dog just snuck in the shower only sit down and stare lovingly up at me. And as his sweet face got all wet from the water droplets, all I could hear was Mr. Darcy’s voice saying, “…I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”

Ok but this took me out because “worm grunting” are the ugliest words put together and I know exactly what’s that kkriiick kkriiick sound it - it’s perfect

Oh EW! I didn’t even notice they were rectangle till just now! Nooo

They make fake bubblegum cigarettes. Look badass AND have a tasty treat! Win win LOL

Same girl. Same.

I say we tip the leafy scales and have malls turned into conservatories with little, unassuming shops tucked between trees, quiet cafes, live classical music, and a little stream running through it all!

Testing out these old wooden press molds that belonged to my Papa. He used them for beeswax, so I’m excited to see what I can make with ceramics

Fremont Bridge - Portland. OR
I always get a little giddy going over it ✨

Wolf moon tonight 🕯️

When I was 11 I taught myself how to make beaded lizards. This had kids from every grade coming to demand their own. Without a thanks I worked myself to the bone and it hurt my giving heart so I stopped making them. Decades later I’m here finally making my own and learning to open my heart again.

Ahh that makes sense! I have a group raku day looming on the horizon, so I want to get some cool stuff ready for that! Pam mentioned flowers, what about a bell flower series where each bell has a different type of flower on it?
