๐ I couldn't help myself and made another Halloween creature! Meet this spooky little skunk ๐ฆจ๐ค My husband says he looks like Spider-Man, and now I can't unsee it. ๐๐ท๏ธ I'm planning a mini Halloween drop for September with 2โ3 ceramic pieces + 5 magnets. Halloween is ALWAYS worth celebrating! ๐๐
This was the very first Day of the Dead piece I ever made. ๐โจ I loved it so much it inspired a matching figurine and mug. Every detail was sculpted by hand, and the pearly bones were a last-minute addition that became my favorite part. It's still looking for a home. ๐ค
Everything's packed and ready to ship! ๐ฆ๐ Before sending these little critters to their new homes, I had to admire some of my favorite pieces one last time. This batch was a lot of work, but so much fun to make. There are still a few cuties looking for homes! ๐พโจ
Surprised this cutie is still looking for a home!
๐ Today's the day! โ ๏ธ My Summerween drop goes live at 7 PM CT! ๐ I made four mushroom possums inspired by real mushroom species. This one is based on the classic fly agaric (Amanita muscaria). ๐๐พ Which mushroom should become a possum next? โจ
I just sculpted a very fun piece. I canโt wait to show it soon!
โ ๏ธ Newsletter previews close tonight as I get everything ready for tomorrow's drop! ๐ This is the biggest collection I've ever made, and I can't wait to share it. Meet my rainbow farting squirrel, inspired by an Indian palm squirrel! ๐๐จ๐ฟ๏ธ Tomorrow, 7 PM CT! โจ
โ ๏ธ My first Summerween drop is Friday, July 17 at 7 PM CT! ๐ I wanted to create something fun, so I sculpted this colorful little possum carrying a pumpkin on its back. It started as a realistic possum... but the brighter colors won. ๐พโจ
โ ๏ธ๐ Last chance to join my newsletter! It goes out tomorrow with early access and a few fun perks. After making my Dรญa de los Muertos possums, I had to make a mug version. I never expected it to become my favorite of the four mugs I made. ๐คโจ
After two weeks of being burnt out, I finally got to work on some clay toast.
They're finally here! ๐๐จโจ So many of you loved my fairy rainbow farting possum that I had to make a little playmate. I think they turned out adorable, and they'll be part of next week's drop. ๐ค Which one is your favorite? ๐พ
I took a short break from sculpting, but my fall collection is almost ready! โจ After my rainbow farting possums, I couldn't stop thinking about glow-in-the-dark skeleton necklaces... so I made a possum and a raccoon. ๐๐พ Now bring on cooler weather! ๐
The unicorn is finally here! ๐ฆ๐๐จ You asked for a unicorn after my first batch of rainbow farting animals, and I promised I'd make one if they all found homes. It started as a sneak peek months ago, and now it's finally finished. I think it's pure magic. โจ
You voted for a mid-month drop, so it's time to start sharing my fall collection! โจ Meet my Day of the Dead possumโthe idea lived in my sketchbook for almost a year before I finally brought it to life. ๐๐พ One of my favorite pieces I've ever made. ๐ค
After months of work, my fall collection is almost ready! โจ Summerween is looking very real. ๐โ๏ธ Along with new farting possums and possum fairies, I made raccoon and skunk magnets to help grow the Trash Family. ๐ฆ๐ฆจ
Things are out of the kiln. Now itโs time to add some extra details!
First finished piece from my fall collection! ๐โจ This mug was actually the first thing I started. It has a bone handle, a pearly finish, a glow-in-the-dark possum, and my favorite bright neon pink. Funny enough, I love making pink art but hate wearing pink. ๐คฃ๐พ๐
I know several of you were waiting on an update of my fairies. They fired without issues and now itโs glaze time!
My studio is already getting spooky. ๐โจ I've been finishing fall pieces at an incredible pace, which means I'll be sharing more finished creations very soon. I'm planning a late-summer Summerween dropโa little mix of sunshine, pumpkins, and spooky season. ๐โ๏ธ #Summerween
Surprise! ๐๐ I quietly added a tiny merpossum batch to the shop for newsletter subscribers. I said I was done making merpossums, but this deep-sea idea wouldn't leave my brain ๐๐พโจ There are also 3 merpossum necklaces! #ceramics #mermaidart
A little magic for fall โจ๐งโโ๏ธ๐พ My last rainbow figurine is this fairy possum. I wanted to give it a whimsical twist, and I'm so happy with it so far ๐ It's also terrifyingly fragile right now ๐ Would you pick a fairy possum or a rainbow unicorn? ๐ #ceramics #fantasyart
Powet is out againโฆ Third time in a week. At least this time I was not firing a kiln!
The unicorn has arrived ๐๐ฆ๐จ This little cutie is the piece that kicked off my new batch. So many of you asked for a rainbow farting unicorn, and I promised I'd make one ๐โจ Still lots of details to add, but I already love her ๐ #ceramics #unicornart
Next farting critter sculpted. Can you guess the animal?
Spooky possums are coming ๐โจ Iโm finally making Day of the Dead possums for my big fall drop ๐๐พ An idea I sadly couldnโt finish last year. And yesโฆ I got so obsessed I made a mug too ๐ญโ I canโt wait to show more ๐โจ #ceramics #spookyart
Been a little quiet because Iโm fully focused on my next drop ๐โจ Itโs going to be my biggest one this year ๐ Cat mugs, possum mugs, rainbow farting animals ๐๐จ and spooky little things are already in the works ๐๐พ What would you love to see? ๐โจ #ceramics #handmade #clayart #spookyart
