This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!
Pattern: “West of House” by me
Fabric: 2x1 on 18ct Blue-Grey Aida
Started: 11/27/2021
Finished: 12/25/2021

Woo hoo!!! I picked this up from the kiln the other day and I'm SO happy with how this turned out!! It's a little plant pot that I made for my sister in law (surprise!!!😁) I can't stop looking at it. I think the glaze settled into the carved bits really well and it looks great in the sunlight. I had to take a lot of pictures so I remember this sucess piece!

Heres a sneak peak of a water tray I've made for a friend. It comes with a pot too, but I'll post them both when they are done.

I’m taking pottery lessons right now… and my teacher said “the kiln gods are being kind to me right now.” And that made me stop and think. Is there a god of pottery? I tried to look it up but it’s hazy.
In Ancient Greece, Athena was apparently the goddess of crafts, which is a bit vague. Hephaestus was the god of sculpting, but that’s not right either.
In Ancient Egypt, I found Khnum who made the other gods and humankind on his potter’s wheel.
I found two gods of pottery in Southeast Asian cultures, Lianaotabi and Panthoibi.
But I wasn’t able to find anyone else. Pottery being such an important part of daily life all around the world, it seems like there would be more. Does anyone know of any other gods of pottery?

Hi everyone! Here are some sample pictures from the second batch of my mug project. I had a lot of fun taking pics of these and even more fun with making them. I can't wait to give them to my friends this weekend🫂

Here are the light green mugs from my first set!! I've been told they look like gourds or melons. What a cute comparison!

I braved a snowstorm to get these pics so I hope you like them 😸
Always so beautiful with fresh floofy snow, I was very happy with that little excursion. Btw this was four weeks ago. But now it’s snowing again! Spring when? 😅
This mug is in my shop HERE.
