I’ve found myself staring at my wood stack a lot recently. I’ve been wanting to start a new build but want to change how I build some things and can’t quite figure out what way I want to go. Our internet has also been down for 2 days so it’s been hard to research 😂 instead I’ll finish what’s started

This yellow glaze I normally call buttered. And on the Halloween ones I tend to rename them to fit the theme a little bit but I haven’t thought of a new name for this one I don’t think. I don’t remember what I listed it as. Got any ideas? lesserimppottery.etsy.com

This might be one of the few large bowls I’ve done that I really liked the end result other than kind of wishing id done a bit more design wise. Normally they don’t go well. I dig how this raspberry glaze kind of went a bit more June Perry purple than ever before. I like it.

I do think I might do some groups something like this and then the rest in broad categories. If you want a group and tell me what you want in it before I list them I can probably make that happen 😂

So I made 30 or whatever magnets. And then didn’t do my in person sale. Now I’m trying to figure out how to list these clearly and efficiently on Etsy. Or if I’m even gonna list them or just do them as freebies on multi piece orders. Made so many variations

I used to to quick little drawings on boxes a lot, particularly for people I know, but kind of got out of habit when I had some busy periods. This one is a caudron mug going to a cousin of mine so I scribbled something on there,

Addin some dots to a deep sea mug, this was something I messed with on the first batch of these but haven’t revisited it since. In an ideal world I could stain the slip I used to make the dots something kind of fluorescentish. Hoping with this the frost porcelain dots will be a brighter light blue.
Looking through the handle of a raw clay mug, the mug has lighter white dots and some squid appendages can be seen in the lower right corner. Past the mug out of focus is chicken nugget the catDetail of the mug with the dots and fangtooth and angler fish visible. There is a dot in the mouth of the angler fish and one at the front of the fangtooth mouth

I recently started drawing on my partners old tablet, I’ve always wanted to play with digital illustration but didn’t remember I had a tool to do it. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it and most of it is pretty goofy. This one is less goofy and I think influenced by @harkthorn.bsky.social

I spent a bunch of time today doing the ropes and detailing this ceramic barrel I decided to start yesterday. The body started at 7 pounds which is about the top end of how much I like to throw on the kick wheel. Started as a barrel for Sir Hiss, but I might make a bunch of monkeys too.
