TC stands for Timothee Chalamet - what can I say, it was a moment of divine inspiration ☺️🤷🏻‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Boh4mUVDmdx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tacn1gaireml

been vomiting ceramics and textiles lately 😱 although both are creative outlets, they use different parts of my brain (I think) — my ceramics sort of sit in a different world than my textiles. My ceramics are three dimensional, and there’s a lot more science to clay than there is to my version of textile design. I have to consider the construction of my ceramics - from scratch, and I have to consider how dry/wet the clay has to be to attach two pieces together, and if the clay will hold its own or if I need to give it some support. I also have to keep an eye on my ceramics as they dry under a plastic bag - are there any cracks? Is it time to smooth it over? My ceramic creative practice is something I find more soothing, and sometimes more rewarding, as I’m building SOMETHING basically from a bunch of nothing. I’m really glad I found clay! 👌🏻😍 also excited to finish up uni - I have one month left, and things are coming together and I’m super excited to show y’all once it’s all done 🔜👶🏻💕🐸 https://www.instagram.com/p/BodFg7pnyGM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=72pvwcmee6kj

hiiiii it’s my four year chronic illness aka topical steroid withdrawal m anniversary todaaaayyy, not sure how to feeeeeel as it’s changed my life completelyyy ~~ but one thing I do know is that my art and my creativity would be jack shit without it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess that’s one positive take away from a whole lot of suffering 🙃 here are some mugs I’m working on 😛 currently none of my ceramics are for sale ~~ but they’ll be quite a few at a group show coming up at the end of this month 🔜 #cutiepatooties https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXyl-4n3qY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1frjk9h33c7w1

hey hey! I been pretty busy lately & making things or stressing about things a lot of the time, I have a couple of fun things coming up soooon that I’m busy making things for // my final uni project (omg) which will have some textiles (hopefully some garments too) and some ceramic pieces, two group shows and hopefully some more pieces to sell 😊 so I’m like low key stressed a lot of the time especially when it comes to university work ~~ but the times that I am able to sit down and work on a couple of ceramic pieces and so so lovely. I love constructing little friends and big friends with my little hands - it really makes me so happy and I have so much fun making them. I can’t wait to show you some of the new things I’ve been cooking up ~ and hopefully in 2019 they’ll be things you can buy and I’ll be at markets again so we can say hello and you can say hello to all of the new ceramic fwens that will hopefully be with meeee.

👶🏻 YES this is much better!!! 🐥 I’m really struggling with developing a fashion collection - I keep dumbing myself down for fashion - losing my zest - but my zest is what makes me special - so I tried to add the zest back in instead of censoring my special zest. This reminds me of South Park and Butters cream goo episode , I watched it the other day and it was gross. Zest means special coolness 😎😎😎

I was scared to attempt a “figure” and it took a while for things to come together but I think it worked! Now the next scary step is the firing & also giving her some life thru underglaze 👶🏻❤️

wip for last project for uni!! I still can’t BlOoDy believe it! Also ~ since this dumb skin flare up started I’ve totes been imagining next year NOT doing Honours anymore and it seems like a fantastic choice, like why tf would I wanna put me & my body thru the stress of a whole extra year of study!!! When I been studying since 2014!!!! Like I could totally make things at my own pace and not have to worry about deadlines!! Well, I guess markets would sort of be deadlines! But not as intense as uni 😱
