May is coming! Here’s what’s lined up for the month… and some soda fired cups.

I’ll be at Magnuson this weekend with my pottery. Maybe I’ll see you there.

Cute pair.

The market yesterday started lovely then devolved into an atmospheric river. I’m lucky to have left with my toes! How Pacific Northwest! :)

Feels so Pirates of the Caribbean. Love it!

Day 18: A batch of squid mugs. I’ve never done overglazing, as far as I can remember. I’m processesing the implications of a new technique.

Day 16: Butter Dishes

Well, the butter dishes were a big hit today at the market. Unfortunately, I don’t have more ready to put out for tomorrow.

Awe, thanks. I was selling online a bit but I found I had better results at local markets, so that’s been my focus lately.

Day 15: Soda Fire Earring Dishes

Apparently you can hang earrings from the holes to drape inside or out, and put other jewelry inside. I was inspired by jewelry friends.

Maintains moisture and delays rotting. I wonder if a wax dip would be better. Aren’t they grown in Mexico? Why do we have cucumbers in winter?

I had thought a French woman should understand the disregard of women very well.

Nice feet.

Fabulous!

They’re lovely.

Day 9 (or 10?): small goblets

Here is one of last year’s butter dishes. My current butter dishes are rodent themed. This year, more plants and animals! #pottery #handmade #butterdish

Thanks!
