I saw the artist post these little bone stakes out of context the other day and thought they were cool then, but I’m completely obsessed now that I’m seeing them in use! Amazing.

Summer is for slow livin’ Markets have come to a halt and sales are happening at a snails pace. I’m making an effort to take this season as a blessing in disguise, a time to stock up for the fall and winter. I have a new WEBSITE: bonechinadesigns.com #mementomori #southerngothic #nolaart #porcelain

Five hours of work on botanical impression dishes in 1:25. Thankfully I was able to find another bag, but the studio I work at hasn’t been able to get the porcelain I use so I was really trying to get the most out of that slab. Nasturtium, fig, oak, and pomegranate. #southernart #porcelain #NOLA

Charm batch coming through for Gay Easter this weekend. Underglazed and bisqued, they’re cooling from their glaze fire right now. Who else lives in fear in the shadow of potential failure when firing a lot at once? Fingies crossed! #porcelain #weirdclay #neworleans #nolaartist #ceramics #charms

67 hand sculpted porcelain charms in their bisque stage. The charms are in the shape of faces, hands, coffins, butts, strawberries, and skulls on a round plate. Each charm is painted with designs of masks, clowns, art deco woman’s faces, and strawberries over their basic shapes.

Second ornate wall pocket of the year. I’m about to make a larger version of this as a custom commission for a friend who wants to be able to have a live plant inside the pocket. I’m excited to go even bigger! #mementomori #wallpocket #handbuiltceramics #wallart #porcelain #weirdclay #ceramics

Porcelain sculptural wall pocket in the greenware stage of porcelain. The shape of the wall pocket is long oval, with the “pocket” covering a little less than the bottom half. The pocket is big enough to put a few fresh or dried flowers in. There are sculpted flowers, a bird skull, and ornate scrolls decorating the piece.

Choose 20 ceramic pieces that you have made. One piece per day. Day 14 - Porcelain deer skull impression dishes, 2018. Do y’all think I should bring these back? #deerskull #porcelain #weirdclay #ceramics #20pots #handbuilding #neworleansartist #nola #clayart #taxidermy #bones #skull

Aerial view of four round porcelain dishes nestled on top of each other. Each dish is the impression of the top of a deer skull, showing the texture of the jigsaw-esque interlocking plates on top of a skull. The dishes are mostly white with the details stained an antiqued blackish brown. Each dish has a clear semi-glossy glaze making them slightly shiny.

Three round porcelain dishes. Each dish is the impression of the top of a deer skull, showing the texture of the jigsaw-esque interlocking plates on top of a skull. The dishes are mostly white with the details stained an antiqued blackish brown. Each dish has a clear semi-glossy glaze making them slightly shiny. Inside two of the three dishes are small pieces of jewelry, four rings and two earrings. This shows that the dishes are functional, and can be used to put your rings and things in while you’re not wearing them.

These are precious! I keep meaning to make paint pallets but get worried that there are specifications and preferences people want. I should probably just go for it though 😊

A single ceramic tea cup. The tea cup is made from a light colored clay body, glazed with a glossy white glaze. There are four skulls decorating the tea cup, so no matter which way the cup is facing there is always a visible skull. This is a small teacup without a handle and is designed to fit comfortably in one hand.

I was thinking of them while making this yesterday! I don’t know if it’s at the shop or at the house, but there’s a wooden conical plunger that goes in your cone shape metal sieve. I think we’ve used it for pressing blackberries before. That would be a good thing to form one around! Memorial Day?

Every day I'm making my pots and feeling so good in the studio, and then checking the news and feeling absolutely horrified, then resuming my day...enjoying chats and jokes with my kids, trying not to show them the depths of my growing existential dread. Surreal. Ok more pottery pics🫠
