Bilbo got skunked last night; in spite of my best efforts to clean, the house still smells kind of...spicy.

The Trash Kingdom grows with a skunk knight (I want to tweak them a bit, but color will help) and a pigeon bishop.

Two ceramic clay figures, in the process of drying. The one on the left is a skunk, dressed as a knight with shield and helm. The one on the left is a pigeon, dressed as a bishop with mitre, cape, and staff. In the back, two royals - a purple raccoon and a blue possum - are visible.

@dmacalvert.bsky.social's viking bear struck a real chord with me, so let's bring him to (3D) life! Step one - big, badass axe!

A printout of a drawing of a big grizzly bear dressed like a viking. He holds a long-handled axe. A clay replica of the axe rests on top of the drawing.

Sitting at a slow show, not much going on, staring at my banner, staring harder...... THERE'S FUCKING GENAI ON MY BANNER!!! BRB talking to the designer I hired; this was in 2023 so hopefully it's ignorance and not deliberate action. Either way, I'm getting a reprint.

A red dragon flying over mountains. The dragon has three wings, inexplicable anatomy, and is clearly generative AI.

I keep misplacing my headphones. Hopefully @nora.zone' mascot Bauble will make them a bit more obvious.

A pair of black wireless headphones. A reflective sticker with a kobold printed on it has been placed on one of the ear pieces.

Clay ornament of a brown cow stuffed animal dressed in green hospital scrubs.

Two side by side pictures of a skeletal anthropomorphic dragon wearing black robes. It holds a tall scythe in one hand, and two blue spirits shaped like a fox and a bird accompany it. The photos show the front and back of the figure.

GOOD MORNING I am pouring resin today. It's not a very photogenic process. Please enjoy this picture of Bilbo the Studio Dog.

A white dog with brown spots on his rump and tail. He is long and leggy, with a pitbull-like face and pointed ears, both sticking straight up. He is lying on a rug, staring back at the camera, begging for a walk.

Kids go back to school on Tuesday, so it's time to seriously clean the studio. I've invented a game called "This Goes...." where I pick up something (anything) and ask myself where it goes. I then take it directly to its spot. Kind of hate how well it's working. Studio before game!

My studio - a sun room with three walls of windows and one with a door leading to my house. The wall is purple and covered in art. My table, desk, shelves, and floor art covered with mess. Bilbo, my big white and brown dog, is lying on the rug peering up at the camera.

Looking to scroll less, but still see some weird clay guys? Join my mailing list at www.eclecticclay.com!

Ceramic sculpture of a yellow slime-like creature with large, goggling eyes. It's stretched out to form a backwards, misshaped "c" with its eyes perched atop its head, peering upward.

Clay sculpture of an anthropomorphic gharial - a crocodile-like creature with a long, thin snout - dressed in a brown monk's robe with a rope belt. His hands are folded in front of his stomach.

Clay sculpture of a neon orange goblin with bright yellow eyes. It sits with its legs splayed, one hand on a knee and the other contemplatively on its chin, as it leans forward to peer at the viewer.

Clay ornament depicting an anthropomorphic pig in an orange and gold space suit. The helmet is a plastic ornament globe, and pig appears to be floating as if in zero gravity.

My current project requires a lot of nacho "cheese", so I've been tinting liquid polymer clay with oils to get just the right orange. It's very satisfying to pour.
