A potter inspired by nature in Maine. My website is open for anyone who would like to buy some stickers or pre-order pots. I need some more kiln furniture to really get back to production!

I always underestimate how long all this painting and glazing takes, but pieces like this make it all feel worth it! #pottersofbluesky #handpainted #crunchtime
I was just beginning to design Dalton's Brookie when I had to move away from the community studio I'd been working out of so there's only been a handful of pieces I've tried this out on so far. The dip cup in the middle of these platters can make some designs tricky to work out, but inspiration struck and working in the round like this instead of cutting across the middle was definitely the right way to do it!

Thank you! Painstaking process, but I do like the end result, lol.

Thank you! Almost ready to glaze, most things get dipped in clear, then I'm squeezing in one more firing to luster the fancy pieces before I have to drop them off!

Try Coach John Noel's 6 Ladders routine for exercise! I've been at it almost 120 days straight now, they're simple, take less than 10 minutes and don't involve weights or getting on the floor for crunches or anything. Easy modifications for whatever fitness level you're at!

Bills have to be paid WHILE putting the work in. Being such a widespread rhetoric never ceases to irritate me. "Entry level" still has to pay rent, if you're dumb enough to think that's the same as a 6bdr McMansion YOU are the problem and we need to stop letting that be a burden on everyone else.

It takes YEARS to "work your way up from the bottom" in a company, even if you manage to find the unicorn employer actually willing to TRAIN up. It takes YEARS to master a trade well enough to make those 6 figure salaries.

The stupidest thing that always drives me nuts is the whole "permanent career" thing in the first place. People still have to eat and pay their bills WHILE building their careers. It takes 4 years to get a degree, not counting taking night classes part time.

Working on a few #Lights and I think they're going to be pretty cool! #BlueskyArtShow #lamp #pottersofbluesky #porcelain #wheelthrown
Any excuse to indulge in my love of antiquing! I have made lamps before, but not with thrifted glass shades like these. I got the idea a couple years ago, but had no means to fire anything until very recently. Excited to get things going again!I think it will ultimately end up a bit short for this particular glass shade, but I'm actually quite pleased with the tall, narrow forms like this. Heavy on the crystal ball vibes already with a globe shade, I plan to put a color changing LED light bulb into this one!

Explicitly violating the Constitution they swore to uphold and protect, attacking basic rights and abandoning due process, IS treasonous. It is, even if you're too cowardly to say it.

Traitor is perfectly accurate, and that SHOULD be the divide. This isn't opinions on pizza toppings, this is literally fundamentally basic ethics and morality. You're either a decent person, and you're welcome to join society, or you've chosen Nazis and should be hunted down and eradicated.

Favoring the GOP, is the same thing as being a traitor. They are absolutely anti-American and should all be tried, most of them hanged.

Couldn't have said it better. The "common ground" is if they manage to act like decent human beings for once, which would require levels of introspection and personal growth very few will ever be capable of. They are the bottom and need to come up, we don't sink down to associate with them.

I absolutely love the Common Ground Fair. ☺️ Feels like the whole town of Unity, Maine exists just to be the perfect autumn experience. #commongroundfair #Unity #Maine #perfectfall
What stunning dahlias! The stall I got my bagel sandwich from had them arranged up the sides of their tent. Lamb bagel sandwich from Spark, with fresh apple cider from another vendor! Excited to try more food when I go back tomorrow!Earth Loom, anyone can add to the weave, they put up one for each day of the fair, and then they're raffled off for different environmental charities. First catch in my new Legacy Bentwoods fishing net before I even left the fair! 🤣 The maker is a regular customer at my day job and this is his first year selling at Common Ground. It's a gorgeous piece l can't wait to use and I'll have better pictures of it later 😁

Lots of painting in the works, getting ready to drop off at my first holiday sale in years! #pottersofbluesky #wip #holidayprep #backatit #lol,tit
Zarg enjoys supervising my studio workOnce painted, these get glazed in Celadon, looking just like a monarch chrysalis!The first version was too head-on, these ones I actually think are pretty cute. What do we think, is the Jimothy work going to be a limited run or should I add them to my ongoing production lineup?I'm more of a cool, jewel tones girl most of the time, but I do have fun with the Foliage pattern. I've always loved the changing of the leaves, it's my favorite time of year!

Why would you actually say this out loud? If the idea hadn't occured to him before, now he's going to read it from some reposted tweet and it'll be his next big announcement!

So I'm curious about what the China accusations stemmed from, WHAT was the thing they were trying to spin? This is the first time I've heard anyone say there was absolutely nothing at all of *any* kind so it just made me wonder for a moment.
000
Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 23/09/2026
I know it was bs but most of their spin, at the time at least, started from a statement that was technically true. Learning center thing WAS actually a scam, they just refused to say it was being run by a yt woman and had already been handled by the Biden administration before they heard about it.

I figured something that was at least technically true, but not actually a problem in any practical way, but I can't say I'd be surprised if even that little was manufactured by the GOP.

Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 23/09/2026
I figured it was something as non-newsworthy as a random tech company in China being part of an investment portfolio he mostly lets the accountant handle, or he knew someone who was at a party with someone who was an investor that ended up jailed for snuggling or something.

Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 23/09/2026
Not that I think the GOP wasn't absolutely over-embellishing, but what WAS the China thing? I assumed it was dumb and not worth digging into then, but for him to say there was no involvement at all, of any kind, I'm just curious if the GOP fabricated the mole hill they wanted to make a mountain?

A limited run of some Jimothy inspired pieces! Mostly magnets, a few pendants and pins. We'll see how many I have left after the holidays, any left over from the venues I'm at might just be posted to my website!

I underestimated just how tall these wreath vases are, nearly half the height of my kiln! Between that, and the platters it was a tight fit but it's all in and hopefully ready for a holiday market next week! #pottersofbluesky #tightfit #measureyourkilnfirst #bisque
The tallest of my wreath vases is actually nearly half the height of my kiln!Luckily I was able to squeeze *most* of the platters into the upper half, though they also take up more space than anticipated but the opposite direction!Setting one of them up on kiln posts like this is how I managed to squeeze two onto the same shelf, and it's cutting things ridiculously close!

It isn't hateful to call a spade a spade. It's elder abuse, and still better than he's ever allowed anyone else to have. He deserves to suffer from his own malicious decisions.
010
Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 19/09/2026
Still receiving better care than he's ever considered allowing for citizens. He can rot with the results of his own malicious ambition.
230
Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 19/09/2026
He's been better treated than any citizen would, and specifically because of the malice he built his career with. This is only the beginning of karma for him.
110
Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 19/09/2026
If it makes you feel better, it's exactly what he wants for everyone else. He wouldn't think twice about forcing anyone else to suffer worse, he literally built his career on it. It's karmic.
140
Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 19/09/2026
Oh this bullshit is *exactly* what he would have chosen, so the fact that he's finally the one who has to suffer for it is karmic. It's elder abuse, and he deserves to feel every bit of it. I honestly hope his mind is actually fully cognizant of what's happening as he can't do much more than watch.
020
Foxtail Studio @foxtailfcs.com · 19/09/2026
It is elder abuse, and a lesson he deserves to learn the hard way, they're not mutually exclusive ideas. He's still received better care and treatment than any citizen would have under the same circumstances because of him.

It's starting to feel like fall! I designed my Foliage pattern to capture the mottled reds and #golden landscape of peak autumn. Accented with real 18k gold too! #BlueskyArtShow #pottersofbluesky #fall #foliage #gold #porcelain #handmade
I've made several of these large wall hangings, this one is in Foliage. Rather than individual leaves, I wanted to capture the feeling of looking out over a broader landscape with patches of reds and oranges. Pieces like this, designed to be decorative rather than food safe also get 18k gold luster.

The wreath isn't quite perfectly centered on the inside edge, but it actually happened to fit the beat of my music so I just took a snippet of the video as-is 😂 I use a #ShimpoWhisper and they really are this silent, it's great!
