Now that the gift in this photo has been given, I can share some of my recent finished objects! Yes my framing is awful, no I don’t care 🤪

Long meetings and longer-running scripts give me more time to work on Snoopy! #stitchsky #crossstitch

I’ve wanted to do this for months, and it finally happened: glass flower (made by me) inside a ceramic vase (also made by me)! Neither is perfect, but the first one was never going to be! #flameworking #ceramics #pottery

A small vase sitting on a windowsill. The vase is deep blue (though it’s hard to tell in the lighting). A single white borosilicate rose is peeking out the top.

Road tripping ~600 mi over the next day and a half. Let’s see if I finish my Christmas cross stitching by the time we arrive at my parents’ house! Current status while fueling the car in MA:

Last batch of ceramics until the new year! These bird ornaments took forever to glaze, but I think it was worth it! #ceramics #pottery

Seven ceramic Christmas trees in a variety of glaze colors/styles. Six flat round ornaments with trees and birds.

This is the first thing I made with glass that I didn’t see a class or demo for first, and I am ridiculously proud of it!! It could use a more star-shaped topper, but I have some ideas for that. #flameworking #borosilicate
