More fossils! We'll see how the glaze treats these little critters, but I'm pleased with them so far...

#pottery #ceramics #birch-shark-art pottery #fossil pots #in progress #they are for the record a plesiosaurus and an ichthyosaurus #loose stylization means not having to narrow that down to a species #relatedly though if anybody knows of a good book with skeletal reconstruction diagrams of dinosaurs and other extinct animals I'm all ears

My piece for Asidian for the 2025 @fandomtrumpshate Craft Bazaar!

This was my first time doing pottery for a charity auction, and I had a GREAT time. Asidian liked the style of my fossil pots and is into Dead Boy Detectives, so we tossed around a couple of options and came up with this design.

...And then due to various life and studio delays I didn't get it completed until late May and didn't get it back from the kiln until early June. At which point I hastened to get it mailed off before I left the next day on a trip, which is why these pictures are in poorer light than usual: I had to take them at night and then get the package ready to go out in the morning, rather than waiting for good sunlight. Sorry about that!

Anyway, I'm honored and delighted to have gotten the chance to make this in thanks for Asidian's donation to a good cause!

Wow, it's been like a month since I posted here, huh? Sorry, folks! (Also: hello, new followers!! Exciting to see you!)

I'm queuing up more posts, sheepishly -- more cups! a plate! a platter-and-tiny-cups set I submitted to an art contest! soon another round of tiny bowls, once I trim them and so on! -- but in the meantime, here's a teaser: a bunch of cups I'm contributing to a cup sale my studio is doing as part of a local art festival.

With the tiny mugs in front, I was aiming for espresso cups. I had fun with it, but what I've mostly learned is that as someone who doesn't drink coffee, I have no idea how small is too small for an espresso cup, lol. I need to buttonhole some espresso-drinking friends and inquire, I guess.

#the blue ones in front have a sgraffito wheat design that's significantly more subtle than I thought it would come out #I like this speckled clay but this was also my first time using it so experimentation all around!#darker slip next time I try that design I think #I LOVE how the white mushrooms one came out though #gonna repeat that for sure #there's one more cup to go into the show but it's still at the studio and possibly still in the kiln #ceramics #pottery #birch shark art pottery #fossil pots #the fossil pot is tucked in the back but it's another apatosaurus #gonna get its own post later
