Day 2 of sharing these new porcelain mugs. Loving them ❤️

I’m OBSESSED with this new clay and these new mugs. To be fair the clay is giving me problems but I’m really really hoping I can work out the kinks because it is absolutely beautiful. Time will tell. Stay tuned as I show off this new collection of mugs in the meantime.

So Shawn found a little tiny baby snake in our back yard. He was dead in the grass and I wanted to take pictures of him because he was so dang cute and his skin was so cool but Shawn said it was morbid 🫣 so I didn’t. But I kept thinking about him and imagining his little life in our yard. It seemed like his name was Milo (pronounced MEElo) and he loved hanging out with the other critters. This mug shows him hanging out with his little butterfly friend. I also ended up drawing some pics in my sketchbook of some of his other adventures - like making hats out of the some of the flowers and flouncing himself around town looking so dapper. He was also seen raiding the strawberry patch and carrying one home on his head. Not sure if these will make it into mug form or not but the adventures keep growing.

Back to my snake obsession. And polka dots seem to be in the rotation as well. Loving this white contrast on the speckled brown clay. All those speckles showing through 😍😍😍

Why is my favorite part of this video when it shows the inside of the mug - perfectly round and super stark white - I’m literally bursting inside from happiness!!!! There is definitely hope with this new clay.

YES!! I was sure I was going to have problems with this container while I was trimming it so I decided to go simple on the design. Why waste hours decorating, painting, designing only to have a cracked lid later. It ends up being the only container that didn’t crack (out of 3) funny enough - the others of which were heavily decorated. You never know what’s going to happen. Plus I don’t think I ever would have chosen this polka dot design but did it out of convenience only to find out I actually really like it. So yea, the process is always leading somewhere - always someplace I never would have imagined so u gotta love art for that reason alone.

Playing around with design on these sweet little vases. This is the porcelain that always warps on me but when I bring in the necks, it stops the warping that I usually get on the wider rims.

Trying to capture this beauty in all her glory. I’m sure it’s hard to tell online from a picture or video but this is like my dream mug. I finally tried a new porcelain. One that’s supposedly super hard to work with which is why honestly I never tried until now. I had so many problems with warping with my last porcelain so I just eventually gave up and the one before that was easier to work with but had a strong yellow undertone. So I went back to some easier clays to work with and hoped Id get get my mind off of doing the designs and look that I loved so much. I tried the brown clay which is reliable and honestly beautiful and although I think my designs look good on the clay, it’s just not what I wanted. I’ve always dreamed of doing my designs on a super white clay body so the black just pops and howdy doodie this is it! I only made a handful of pieces and yes I had problems but not enough to keep me from continuing to try so I’m super excited at the prospect. I just need to keep trying, keep honing my skills, keep moving forward. I have lots of new ideas so just super excited to see what comes.

I had doubts about this one as it was initially drying. There was a hairline crack and I know those only get worse as they move thru the firings but I was still hoping for the best. But dang - no luck on that. I’m going to try to reglaze the lid and see if I can seal the cracks but not feeling super hopeful it will work. But still worth a try. She’s a pretty one besides that.

Trying out the snake mug on the brown clay. No warping which is why I chose this clay but I also really love how it looks.
