Happy Thor's Day! This raku vase, "Thor's Helmet," is inspired by the nebula of the same name.

It's a small reminder to look up, make something beautiful, and wish for a better world. ✨ Essential in these times. 🥰

Photo of a number of Cladonia lichens that look like golf tees with the tops ringed in red blobs.

A tight macro shot of pale yellow trumpet lilies, focusing on the intersection of several overlapping blossoms. The petals are beaded with countless tiny raindrops that catch the light, highlighting the soft, rippled texture of the flower’s surface. In the center, several long, slender stamens with dark, chocolate-brown anthers provide a sharp vertical contrast against the curving, lemon-yellow throats of the lilies. The lighting is soft and diffused, making the water droplets appear like tiny glass beads scattered across the cream-to-yellow gradient of the petals. The depth of field is very shallow, with the foremost petals in crisp focus while those in the background melt into a soft, hazy yellow.

Happy Spring Holiday, BlueSky.

Meet “Smokey,” a raku pottery bear shaped by the flames of raku. 🔥

Deep browns, violet, blue, and gold tones dance across layered textures for an industrial yet earthy and organic look.

Only you can prevent forest fires, but you can't prevent 'Smokey' from being adorable 🐻 #furryart #bear

I think these mushrooms are Brown Mottlegills (Panaeolina foenisecii) aka "The Lawnmower's mushroom". My lawn is now covered with them, growing singly and in clumps. #Fungi #Mushrooms

A raku fired kidded vessel/moon jar on a white background. It is various shades of grey with some lines and textures.

A little lunar love with this moon vase from the fires of raku:

May our trip around the moon remind us of how special the Earth is and that we should take care of it!

Never let them tell you when you’re done

A still and reflective pond is surrounded by rushes and other herbaceous greenery. On the left a bare tree branch cuts across the top corner. On the right a Japanese maple is beginning to show its new red leaves, hanging out over the pond. Behind it, pink cherry blossoms can be seen. At the back, a traditional building is barely visible. Centre left, in the pond, a water jet fountain creates a white circle of disturbed water at its base while the jet itself is reflected in the pond
