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.

If anyone could help a disabled, housebound dude who’s currently without care out with the cost of some food and meds, I’d appreciate it. Sorry. ko-fi.com/malibudarby

@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.

Mentally filling out the rest of the Court of Trash; I'm thinking pigeon bishop, rat knight, alley cat jester...maybe some cockroach courtiers?

The Kings of Trash are headed to Round 1 in the kiln!

Two ceramic figures. On the left is a raccoon, with light and dark purple coloration, wearing a yellow crown over one ear. On the left is a possum, with light and dark blue coloration, wearing a smaller crown between his ears.

I love him. Could I sculpt him? I'm in a rut and I think he's perfect for breaking out of it.

It was a mistake on their part, and we're correcting it. This shit is like fucking glitter; it gets everywhere!

UPDATE: My designer is horrified that this happened. He is as AI opposed as I am, and we're working together to change and reprint the banner.

Nina Kalinkos Is Making Little Guys @eclecticclay.com · 21/09/2026

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.

The summer did not unfold as I had anticipated & now I’m in big debt after moving for grad school on a different timeline, thanks to my ex and his family. If you can help, I’d be so grateful. I am living on student loans, but it’s not enough unless the goal is met. www.gofundme.com/f/help-secur...

It's September, the PERFECT time to think about the holidays! No, really. I am open for commissions, and have four slots available for guaranteed holiday delivery! Commission a pet, fursona, TTRPG character, or anything else for yourself or a loved one. More details at www.eclecticclay.com!

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.

The number of obviously genAI flyers I've gotten from the school district this year is....just exhausting. What if I started marking all the errors in red pen and sending them back in a folder? I'm sure the HSA would love that.

Ceramic clay in the shape of a caterpillar-like creature with cat ears, a cat tail, and metal bug antennae. It is lying on its side on a small sponge to dry.

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.
