Guinea bee - printable download :)

Guinea bee - printable download :)

It's been a while since I've made a printable download! So please enjoy this printable note 😊

It reminds me that I should really make some notepads for spring... maybe I should order some notepads in case you don't have a printer? Let me know if you'd want this design or something else 😊

Ceramic studio vlog

Ceramic studio vlog

I completely forgot to mention - I finally made a new studio vlog! The whole thing is in the ceramics studio too.

I'm not sure how often I will make studio vlogs anymore since I'd like to spend more time creating pottery, but I'm thinking maybe once a month could be nice? I guess we'll see 😊

New bird pins coming soon

New bird pins coming soon

I'm prepping some new bird pins to go into the shop this weekend! They are the birds from birbfest 2022 😊 There are 10 new bird pins, but I only ordered 10 of each.

If any of them are really popular, I might order more. BUT I am planning to do fewer bird pins in the future to focus on other kinds of products.

Once upon a time, I c...

New clay reveal!

New clay reveal!

Wheee!! Got my test back! I'm really happy with how it came out despite the clay coming out more red than I expected - I thought it would be more yellow/beige.

I wish I'd cleaned up the bands around the face more. Usually it isn't an issue because the glaze typically hides all that, but with raw clay (no glaze) it's really apparent.

Working with new clay :O

I've been playing around with a new type of clay that I think would be really lovely as planters! Right now this clay looks light red, but when it's fired completely it will be light beige.

It's my first time using this type of clay and I'm excited to see how it turns out. I wanted to keep the clay raw, meaning without the shiny glaze over...

Those packing peanuts are finally used!!

Those packing peanuts are finally used!!

So in the summer of 2020, I bought 2 HUGE bags of packing peanuts. I didn't realize how big the bags were when I ordered them online and when they arrived, the bags were the same size as me. And there were two!! (I even vlogged it and watching it again now it's pretty hilarious - check it out if you want a laugh 2022-02-07 22:57:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello my lovely Patrons! I spent all of January drawing so many birds, and I wanted to do something special with them just for you. So I've done something a little different and made them into little postage stamps 😊
