From a previous posting, you may remember I have issues doing custom orders as they take me FOREVER to do. I usually only do them for family because they understand C.S.T. (or Chanda Standard Time) which is a lateness/lagging that I am typically known for. In fact, my Mom said the only time I have… READ MORE
Imagine my delight seeing the oldest ceramics artist alive STILL WORKING at the age of 99!!!!!! Happy Birthday, Rose Cabat! (June 27th is her birthday) Her beautiful pieces called “feelies” are below… Before I struck out as a ceramics artist, I always held jobs in state/county systems (mainly working in universities). There you would meet… READ MORE
This is what my Mom got for Mother’s Day this year! This is my kitty, Sukie and yes she is the majesty of our household. I’m so pleased with the way this turned out I am thinking about making it into a print! I would hang one of these in my house. How about you??… READ MORE

I often get asked to do things I don’t normally do. I have learned through many tears, disasters, exploding budgets, losing money etc. that I usually won’t do this professionally. I can do commission work based off of designs and shapes that I already do but when someone asks me to make a custom coffee… READ MORE
