Wire shelves with various clutter and fresh thrown pots.
Threw sourdough-starter keepers and a small fermentation crock this afternoon. I still have to make the weights to go in the crock.
Today wasn't a great throwing day since I switched to buff stoneware. It's not my favorite but I think it is more durable for kitchen ware because of the grog.

Prototype pickle mugs
@mortred49.bsky.social I've been meaning to bug you. These mugs are out of the kiln but I decided I need to hold them until I make more. You might like the next ones better anyway 😉
Plastic utility shelf full of large pots fresh off the wheel. Red tote is full of yesterday's pots.
Moar pots. The smaller pots on the lower shelves are obnoxiously large lids for the pots next to them.
Cold but sunny in the basement. Image of the artist with the sun in their face sitting at the wheel in front of a dirty mirror.
Image of two simple planters below a basement window. I wish the clay didn't shrink so much.
First pots thrown this year. I moved the wheel to the floor today and started with 3 & 4 lb planters.
Ope, sorry about the confusion! 😅 I appreciate your support! 🥹
Okay, I've finally seen the clip. It's terrible, but to the point where I can laugh about it. None of the participants (or myself) are shown. There's a tiny blip where J says something dumb & the anchor doesn't quite say the name of our org correctly at the end. 💀👍🏼
Ugh, the rumination is just killer. I should have been a bigger bitch, I should have controlled the situation more. So much unnecessary risk & discomfort. I'm overreacting a tad, but we were completely unprepared (& should have been). I don't see how that kind of exposure could benefit us.
I have to regurgitate this info because my brain is still screaming...
My partner & I did an anti-ICE poster printing event today. Local media crashed the party at set up. I refused to be interviewed, but J didn't. I almost lost it when the news gal kept filming as we tried to start the demo. 🤬😤
omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for

the worst human art is still better than any AI art

I guess I'm taking Taekwondo? It wasn't my first choice in martial arts to learn, but the dojang is 1.2 miles from home.
Because I'm insane, I've told myself that it's an extracurricular activity so I'm still working out at home before an hour long class.
I'm really tired, but it's going alright.
Afternoon lighting, a mug with deep angled grooves in the foreground, assorted pottery and kitchen ware in the background.
Early morning light, same mug on a cutting board next to a French press and an open faced pb&j with extra homemade j on homemade bread on a tiny plate.
I was digging through my inventory tote the other day and pulled out this new favorite. Oh no, another pot I have to keep! 😅

Black Panther Party at ICE Protest in Philly. ❤️🔥
Image of the artist's studio with shelves and a box of bisqueware, and buckets and jugs of glazes. The floor is still pretty clean so this was taken before starting. 🤣
Managed to glaze some mugs today though. #potterysky #pottery #ceramics
My brain simultaneously playing two songs on repeat...
Dominique by Giane and a version of the street march call-and-response "show me what democracy looks like/this is what democracy looks like" except "democracy" is swapped out for "insanity". Honestly, pretty on point. I'm not sleeping well.
Image of a seed tray with a plastic dome cover and a grow light hovering above. I've never hung the light this low, but apparently this is how you're supposed to do it?? In the background, there's some shit hanging on the wall and a Styrofoam head with a cowboy hat on.
Keep trying to express myself & deleting. What does adding to the echo chamber accomplish? My heart aches all the time. Putting it to action with zines & flyers & whistles. It's fucking cold today & I've got a kiln running.
You know how I know I'm really actually crazy, I started peppers yesterday.
Damn, that's a sweet deal! I'm going to make a big batch of mugs soon for Pickle Fest too so there will be plenty to choose from. You can have the first pick! 😆
Two tall mugs with underglaze pickles painted around the outside. In the greenware stage.
Pickle mug prototypes. Tell me all of your favorite pro-pickle slogans. 🥒 Send me your best pickle recipes too.
Front of a card with geese. The lines left by the string used to dye the print bundle look sort of like a landscape.
Interior of a card with a lot of interesting color and movement.
Front of a card with another owl.
Collection of handmade cards.
Front and back of a handmade card with a lynx portrait.
Front and back of a handmade card with a large snowy owl.
Front and back of a handmade card with a wooly pony portrait.
Interior of a card with visible eco print of camomile.
Little winter animal sketches on eco prints sent out to clients and family this year. I hope they realize that these are actual pieces of art, like I can't make these again. I made the eco prints during a recent natural dying workshop. I hate the holidays, but I'm grateful for folks.
Self-portrait of the artist lunging in front of a bunch of untrimmed mugs while drinking from a commercially made holiday mug.
Working on a big batch of mugs. Sitting at 72 & throwing the last few now. 4 dozen are for a local cafe & the other 2.5 doz are for markets if anything comes up. (I'll be at Pickle Fest on June 13th! 🥒).
I've been thinking about doing a seconds sale maybe on Ko-fi maybe late January. Sliding scale.
Contents of a package containing documents from the UK.
Seems fitting that my package from Black Lodge Press in the UK should arrive at my doorstep already opened. I'm just grateful it reached me.
Tidal is doing the Rewind thing now. Does that mean it's no longer cool? I've actually been thinking about cancelling my subscription because I started listening to more audiobooks and podcasts.
Anyway, I listened to Moderat and The Very Best of Sting a lot this year.
