i’ve recently started a ceramics course and found that the best way to prepare myself for the each lesson is sit down the evening before and do little sketches of things i wanna paint on the forms. because the method of painting on ceramics is color first, lines on top of it, these sketches were drawn in that manner- promarker shapes first, loose lineart after.

idk i just really like baby dragons and sabrehs (”Barbary fig” or “Cactus pear“)

I did a little gardening today, after neglecting my potted friends for a while, and it felt so good i couldn’t help but share the stages. See picture captions for detailed descriptions.

Part 1 / Part 2

edit: I realized the picture captions don’t show up on mobile so here they are

[Before: A mess]

[Another before picture: a HUGE mess.... smh]

[discovered new flowers while I was tidying! Spider plant] - [and lupines]

[Took everyone out to clean their "bed". (Actually a sofa w/o pillows)]

[Clean bed with new base plastic trays!]

[Did some trimming] - [And took my bulb-plants out of their pots to be stored until next winter and discovered one started making a baby bulb!]

[Ready to be stored until it's cold again. (Daffodils and hyacinths)]
