I did this on the train to work bc silly me didn’t have a Halloween post bc silly me posted it like two weeks ago instead.

This meme comes around every year and every year I think it’s the funniest thing in the world.

‘Tis ween my fellows!!

Artober day 19, more marginalia

I managed to sneak not one but two Medieval Mugs into this batch (they were originally supposed to be Lascaux mugs, but I was in the final stressed days of finishing the glazing & needed a silly & colourful break!!)!

Much like the Flicker BirdLady I posted last, these might be my best Medieval pieces yet - the colours fired up SO well and I especially love the proud-of-their-fish FishMonk <3

(& again, yep, these two mugs are in the shop update December 2nd! See a couple posts back for more info!)
