This past June, my studio and housemate Clovy Tsuchiya and I were featured artists at Good Earth Pottery! We had a great time visiting with everyone who came up for the reception. Thank you all for such a fabulous event!

- 🌧☘️🐰☘️🌧 We’ve got some much-needed rain in our forecast! It was so nice to wake up to the sound of rain outside my window this morning. I definitely get tired of the rain during our long dreary grey winters in the PNW, but it also is worrisome when we go so long being dry and hot so early in the year. I know the garden will appreciate the rain this week too! #pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #mugs #rabbits🌱✨🌱 Spring magic! I just love the first harvests of radishes in the spring. I found these this morning on garden walk visiting with the lovely @claireprenton! So wonderful to finally meet you, Claire, welcome to Whidbey! 💖 There are only a few radishes ready to start with, but we will be having radish-bounty soon enough! I can’t wait! #spring #radishes #garden #plate #owl #ceramics #clay #potteryOne batch of mugs done, another to go! Gabbi loves it when it’s warm & sunny and I work outside next to her☀️💖 We both love spring! #pottery #ceramics #clay #mug #rabbits #sgraffitoMugs on the work table today! I’m cleaning up handle attachments and then they’ll be ready for drawings. I love my new ware boards with sunshine yellow duct tape edges 🌻 ☀️ 🌞 #pottery #ceramics #clay #mugsI love seeing my pots in their new homes, especially when they’re snuggled up to adorable pets! Thanks @allysetheceramiclady for sharing this sweet photo of your new slug bowl with your cutie pie dog Teva! #pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #pupsandpottery🌱🐌🌺 Slugs are sneaking into the greenhouse and snacking on my seedlings 😩 I have such a love/hate relationship with these lil critters. I find them so cute and curious, but also hate how they absolutely demolish my baby plants so quickly. But everyone’s gotta eat! I just have to protect my seedling babies better. Feeling a little crazy wishing & I could lay a border of gravel 4 feet wide around my garden to deter them🤪 My submission for today’s theme for #30platesin30days - Animal! I think the challenge is so fun, if you haven’t heard about it yet check it out! @30platesin30days #30platesin30daysanimal #pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #slug #plate🤔🐰 What are tiny rabbit plates good for? Feeding rabbits*, of course! 😜 I just added a small handful of pots to my Etsy, tiny rabbit plates included. Check it out, link in bio! ***Disclaimer: I don’t really *intentionally* feed these “wild” rabbits, but when I toss then chickens snacks it’s hard to keep everyone separated. The bunnies come running and inevitably get a bite or two. They were very hopeful that this plate would be filled with extra goodies for them, but they definitely got their sneaky share of the chickens’ treats (note the crumbs on this bun’s face!). These rabbits are the product of someone letting domesticated rabbits loose in the neighborhood, they are huge and come in unusual colors (note the black & silver in the back) and they are remarkably unafraid of people (as you can tell!) Half of the neighborhood shoots them, while half of the neighborhood feeds them. We do neither (aside from the unintentional small bites they get from the chickens’ food), and they think ours is the best house block 🙄😂 #pottery #ceramics #clay #rabbit #plate #sodafired🎉🐰🥚💐🐔🐶🎉 Happy Easter, happy spring, happy Gabbi, chickens, flowers, & eggs! #notpottery #spring #chickens #potterswithpoultry #bulldogmix #bulliesofinstagram #americanbullyIt’s spring, and that not only means flowers & showers, but also bats! 💐🌧🦇 It’s warm enough for them to come out and eat bugs, have you seen them in the evenings yet? I found this one roosting in a tree 😉😂 You can scoop him up to roost at your home too, he’s listed in my Etsy store! As much as I love all the good bats do and how cute they are, I’m actually quite a bit irrationally afraid of them! I like watching them from my window safely inside though 💖🦇💖 How do you feel about bats? #pottery #ceramics #clay #mug #batWatch out, chickens!! There’s an owl with his eye on you... 🦉🐓😦 Good thing this owl is flying through a dense patch of soda fog 🌫🤣 his visibility is poor, and I think the chickens will be safe 😉 I usually don’t like it when my pieces get *so* much soda that my drawings get obscured and runny, but this bowl has grown on me. #pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #owl #chickensI caught this little slug trying to nibble on these tulips... 🌷🐌🌷 The tulips are just starting to bloom! I can’t wait to go visit the tulip fields with friends soon, I just love seeing all of those flowers blooming! 💐 #pottery #ceramics #slug #sodafired #tumbler #tulipGabbi, head of Quality Control, keeps a keen eye on packing 📦 👀 📦 (She desperately wants to rip up that bubble of wrap!) Thanks everyone who checked out my Etsy, who favorited my shop, and who bought pots! 🙏 I appreciate your support! I’m still learning the ropes of having the proper info for accurate estimated shipping, so if something seems like it has an absurdly high shipping cost, let me know and I’ll look into it- especially if you’re getting multiple pots! #pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #rabbit #mug #packingandshipping #etsyNo April Fool’s- I actually really finally listed pots on my Etsy! 😱 Go check ‘em out, link in bio! There are only 10 pots, but I’d like to keep adding pots to it on a regular basis. Now that I’ve finally added listings, maybe it won’t be such a big deal to add more 😜 #pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #etsyshop🍊 Citrus! 🍊 Did you know that rats love oranges? They will climb up orange trees, gnaw a hole through the peel, chow down on the delicious citrus flesh, and leave the empty orange peel hanging on the branch! 😱 Not a problem I have to deal with here in the PNW, but if I lived in a climate suitable for orange growing I’d have to have a word with those orange-stealing rodents! 🐀 🍊 This rat eating oranges snack plate will be a part of the Rat City Studios (@ratcitystudios) Citrus Shakedown, opening online on April 1st! I’m looking forward to seeing all of the sweet citrus themed work!#rcsshakedowncitrus #pottery #ceramics #clay #rat #orange #citrus #plate #sodafired💐🐎💐 Pony plate, spotted galloping through a flowery meadow! I’ve been trying out wadding my plates rim to rim instead of just on their foot ring. It leaves wad marks on the rims and I think I like the way that looks! It also helps prevent debris from falling in my plates, and saves space. 🎉 #pottery #ceramics #clay #horse #pony #plate #sodafired #springflowers🌺🐐The goat mug may have broken, but the goat plate survived the firing wonderfully! 🐐🌺 I think accidentally breaking all those mugs did appease the kiln gods, it was a great firing, despite what felt like numerous issues. The gas pressure gauges didn’t work (and I’ve never fired a kiln without them), the passive damper was secretly shoved in all the way which was choking the poor kiln- setting us severely behind schedule, but we figured it all out and managed just fine. 🔥🔥🔥#pottery #ceramics #clay #sodafired #goat #plateFound this little toad while I was getting the garden ready for planting today! I am so happy that it is finally spring and that we have had some lovely sunny warm days. #gardening #springishere #toad #pottery #ceramics #claySometimes failures surprise you by how much you actually like them, like that cracked owl plate, but other times they just plain suck. I dropped these mugs accidentally, ironically moving them from a location I thought they were likely to be knocked over, to a safer place... only to stumble and drop them on the way. Sigh. Whenever I break pots during a kiln loading, I try to make myself feel better by saying it’s a sacrifice to the kiln gods... even when it’s a painful four-mug-and-one-was-my-favorite-new-goat-drawing sacrifice. May it be a good firing 🙏🔥🙏 #ceramiccasualties #kilngodsacrifice #whoops #pottery #ceramics #clay
