A sweet lil doggo adoption success! 😍😍😍

A collage of two photos features a small ceramic crow named Radagast, his adoption certificate, and a close up of his sparkly beak. A cartoon of the artist is in the corner of the image with heart eyes.

Sweet lil Radagast found his forever home! 😍

I love finding out where my lil guys end up! Whatever his name turns out to be, I'm so glad he found a loving home and delicious iced tea!

George has a lovely new family 😍

A shiny green monster guy is smiling and waving at you

You know what we heard? We heard you got this! We believe in you!

Walter made it to his forever home and looks so dang happy to be there! Ready to add a little Squatch, Meep Morp, or Crow into your family? My next adoption event will be at the Whidbey Ren Faire in just a couple weeks: May 24-25!

We got alllllmost where we needed to be over the weekend. Still about $3k shy to be covered for a simultaneous rent/payroll week after a couple of slow months. SO!

1) We restocked tea pets!
2) Several tea faves just restocked!
3) Tea classes are still open!
4) Custom blend slots now open!

I spent all morning making Meep Morps and now I'm on a ferry to work a wood kiln shift. I cannot stress to you all what a dream come true my life has become ✨😍✨

Several small clay sculptures of crows sit on a shelf together

With their brethren in the glaze kiln tonight, these lil crows are excited to be in the queue for bisque and, in just a couple weeks, meet their forever families at the Whidbey Ren Faire ❤️🐦‍⬛❤️

I promise to Meep until I can Morp no more... 🤠

Me, talking to my friends

Many small sculptures - mostly little crows - are nestled together inside of a kiln.

More crows are cooking in the kiln as I type, getting ready for the restock at @fridaytea.com ❤️🐦‍⬛❤️

I'm just a lil guy doing my best to satisfy the masses with cute tea pets 😍

Do keep us in the loop about sweet George! Would love to see photos once he's all settled in ❤️

😍😍😍❤️🐦‍⬛❤️

I love seeing Meep Morps out in the wild! 😍😍😍

Two clay sculptures on a tabletop. A tiny little monster guy stands next to another monster guy that's about 10x bigger and has dandelions in its antennae.

A little ceramic monster is holding a heart and smiling in the center of the photo. Other monsters are beside and behind, smiling and waving.

You did it! You survived another Monday! We are so proud of you ❤️

Eight bottles made from a medium-brown clay are sitting on a metal shelf. The bottles vary in height, width, and overall shape. Some have textured necks while others are smooth for now.

Played around with some potion bottles this afternoon. I'm hoping to catch them at the right time so I can add dragon scales to the straight walled ones... 🐲

I've been welcomed into a few small clusters of community since moving to Seattle in 2022, and I'm so grateful for each of them. I need to spend much more time working alongside other artists and less time alone, wading around my own anxious, dark thoughts.

I was reminded in person today about the importance of community for my mental health. As I was on my knees inside a kiln sweeping out debris and wadding, I started to remember this feeling. Being part of a happy crew of potters working hard towards a common goal.

Four freshly made clay slugs sit on top of a brown board. Three figure studies are blurry behind them.

More slugs in progress, forever

Omg.... Burglar. 🤡

A clay figurine of a hobbit standing with a teacup in one hand and a walking stick in the other, looking a little bewildered but dressed for adventure anyway (featuring hairy hobbit toes poking out)

The back view of the sculpture, featuring unruly hair made from many tiny coils of clay, pointy hobbit ears, and the back details of his fancy coat.

"The Burgler" - a demo sculpture for my March "Fantasy Figurines" kids class! I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out for 3 hours of work 🤠

Part of a handmade ceramic paint palette takes up most of the frame. Hand painted in black are tiny dots around the edges and a cartoony bee with a stupid smile.

Berzz berzz 🤣

And I imagine that filling the tank costs about half my monthly rent ... 🤡
