I've spun several bags worth of plarn (plastic yarn) and I don't know what to weave it into. Crochet is not an option, as I am terrible at it. Maybe I can card weave belts or similar accessories? I do want to try making cordage.

Guess I didn't share this here. Four grackle! It's painted over generic wall art. It had some leaves on it, so I ran with that idea. I've never seen so many grackle before, I love these scrungly birds. Done with paint markers.

Four silly looking black birds with shiny blue-purple hits on a shimmery green and blue background. Very rough looking but with movement like the wind is blowing them around.

I've been working nights, doing some art when I can. I have not been able to bring myself to do pottery yet, it has not felt right for whatever reason. Here's what I've been up to instead.

An iguana inspired serpent I've been doing for scale practice. I really want to push myself to improve. I have so much growing to do still.

Black light picture of the same serpent. It doesn't look purple in person but you know how cameras are. The in-between the scales glow nicely.

I've become fascinated by trippy visuals. It's so much fun to draw colorful shapes. I don't know what I will end up doing with these but I like them.

It looks like life will be more expensive than we anticipated. I need to find a day job as *all* of our stuff is stuck in limbo states away. All of my art supplies, digital, clay, traditional, on a truck in Los Angeles for up to 21 days or longer. I'm having a hard time staying positive.

I caved and bought more paint pens, this time sharpie brand brush pen style. I really like them and exploring what I can do with acrylic markers. It has been a fun challenge using limited (for me) art supplies.

Tiny art of a mushroom. I tried to make it look like it was screenprinted, but now I really do want to screen print. Too many art hobbies though, no more for now.

The good news is we had our offer accepted, bad news is we have 30 days of escrow before we can move in. But it is happening!

I miss having all my art supplies at my fingertips. I do have a little sketchbook and some different pens so I'm not without anything. I wanna get out there and make stuff again!

Aiwaz, the kitties and I have been staying at a motel while we look for houses, and he works. It has not been easy for any of us, but we have each other, and we will hang in there. No cars just yet either.

Today is the big day! We are flying to Lake Charles! We are as prepared as we are gonna be, and once we find a house we can begin to settle down. I know I can't wait to find my place in Louisiana.

I'm moving to Lake Charles Louisiana next week. May has been a whirlwind of activity. I will miss my ceramic studio job, but I look forward to getting back into full-time art once again. More updates to come!

I'm trying to stay active online. I've gone to a convention for pottery last week that was pretty intense. It did give me fresh motivation to work on keeping my art going. Also I have captured my late cat Bob fairly well so far in this painting. It makes me happy to see his face.

My husband and I are ready for FurtherConfusion2026 with lots of shiny trinkets for folks to enjoy. Come check us out at table 97 located in the EAST dealer's room. It's my first time vendoring at FC so I'm super excited. The first con I went to was FC 2008 when I was just 19 years old.

I actually finished some wall hangings this year. I enjoy hitting goals I set for myself. Exploring is nice too, seeing what type of things I want to make and elaborating on what interests me.

Hey look, I have the same table number as last year! My artwork has changed quite a bit though. New designs, more tiny mugs, more mushrooms, more moss.

A map of the BLFC dealer's den. The Dragon Potter can be found at table 204, now with 50% more whimsy.

There will be about 3 dozen tikis for sale this year at BLFC. Each one is different and one of a kind as I experiment with slip, glazes, underglazes, and special effects. Prices will vary as well, from $65 up to $130 so there will be something for everyone.

The gay crime dog is back, this time on Imco stoneware 1c clay. Interesting fact about that clay: the spot where it's being harvested is changing composition, so the clay is no longer ^6, it has creeped up to ^8! Nature/geology is wild.

The first of the tiger tikis emerged from the kiln. I've been having so much fun trying out glazes and playing with different looks. I'm hoping to have 12 for BLFC and a lot more of the monster tikis.

I've been underglazing all day and putting way too much detail into these. I still have a ways to go, but these will be the fanciest of the tigers. Lovingly hand-painted by a dragon that doesn't know how to keep it simple. I may attempt one or two more before BLFC.

Three tiger faced tikis, the left is mostly white with some green, the middle is your typical orange tiger, and the right is shades of blue. They kinda look like pillars which is pretty neat.

Some more mugs are coming out of the kiln. I love the transformation that happens. My online shop is paused while I build up inventory for Blfc. There's going to be so much new and fun stuff that I'm making. Design by @mongrelist.bsky.social They and I have made such cool stuff together!

Monster mug after firing. Even the black clay looks glossy, probably due to the Mason stain I used to color it.

The last of the tumblers I threw a while back. I'm experimenting more with Mayco Stroke n' Coat glazes because of the color range, and it's interesting to see how they run. There's the clay body to factor in, the angle of the piece, if it's layered over other glazes, just so much tinkering to do.

A speckled yellow clay tumbler with rainbow glaze at the top, but the red ran over most of the other colors but still looks pretty neat.

A yellow speckled clay tumbler with purple, pink, and yellow glaze looking like sad pastel rainbows and raindrops. Glazing is hard this isn't too bad all things considering but I still wish it was better.

This is the most skill/labor intensive part of mold making, the actual plaster casting. Yes I ise my bats as the mold shape; I hot glue them together, Reinforce things with clay and pour the plaster. Cleaning up the edges takes care and I hope I lined things up for a symmetrical mold.

Some small pieces are getting fired, this is the first time I'm using a red clay, so these will look a bit different than the usual ones I make.

I think I will do a few black light paintings. I just like the dimensionality of being able to view art in different ways. Here's a new wip!

I'm vending at BLFC again this year, this time I've got new products, an online shop, updated display, and maybe even some prints. Enjoy this painting I'm working on.

It has so much color oh my gosh. Mainly pinks and yellows, it is a skull of a deer with honeysuckle vines growing around it. The skull is very yellowy and the back ground is pinkish.
