Good morning, friends. When life feels overwhelming, joy can seem like a distant luxury—but it’s often closer than we think. Even in the midst of chaos, small moments of peace and connection can quietly illuminate the path forward. #Jaye’sMorningLight

My photo shows a Roman floor mosaic depicting an octopus. The octopus is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) and has eight writhing arms with suckers and narrow curling tips. It is set against a white tesserae background. Octopus detail from a monochrome marine mosaic featuring Triton with a cherub and various sea creatures, including the octopus, dolphins and a cuttlefish, at the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum.

Good morning. Happy Tuesday.
Solace, in peaceful waters. Settled, after their flow nourishes those growing surefooted, in conditions found difficult, building resolve, strength.

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions.

Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.

A grey cat stands proudly on a red pillow with gold leaf design. The pillow is atop a white wooden rocking chair, the throne of said cat.

Inspired by ancient reverence for cats, I've created 'Felines of Antiquity,' a raku vase that honours their timeless, divine charm and enduring diva attitudes.

Does your cat act like a god or goddess? Mine certainly does!

6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three. There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide.

A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏
