Back in 2021, I threw this piece in open hours during my second pottery class. I was so excited to have thrown using a full *three pounds* of clay, when the same amount had been unmanageable for me during that week’s class.

Today (Aug 9 2025) I assembled this piece (again during open hours for my intermediate class, because you never stop learning) from three parts of 4, 4, and 3 pounds respectively.

Throwing took me about half an hour and joining took me the same amount. That little 3lb vase in ‘21 took me at least half an hour on its own.

It’s nice to have old stuff around to give you perspective on where you’ve been.

I figured the goldfish deserved their own post! I love having a big everyday bag but it is nice to have the option of something smaller when the occasion calls for it.

The top two of these are still available in my shop in case you too need a fish bag in your life!

I now have 3 fish bag sewing patterns available on Kofi! If you love my bags but don't want to pay for international shipping (and know how to sew) this is the best way to get your own!

There is also currently ONE premade goldfish bag left for sale, with more of all 3 of the bags here coming... At some point soon! (Plus some brand new designs I've been working on...)

The only adhd tips that actually work:

1. Never tell anyone what you're planning to do until you do it (you will get a premature dopamine hit and sense of accomplishment from telling them and lose motivation to actually do it)

2. Never sit down (never sit down)

it's that time of the year again, isn't it?

Prepare your ocs, I'll be fighting on the side of Fossils! (probably)

“Superman’s suit should be Kryptonian” “Ma Kent should make Superman’s suit at home” or how about the third fun option where the suit is the Kryptonian skinsuit BUT it gets damaged by Kryptonite and Ma Kent has to figure out how to sew/mend Kryptonian cloth that seems to have a mind of its own and won’t stop SQUIRMING.

Thousands of years of Kryptonian technology vs one Midwestern mom with her favorite show on? I’m putting my money on Ma.

My latest miniature project, LGBTiamat. She's still a work in progress but I've finished the Trans Pride White Dragon and the Bisexual Blue!

When I finish her, I'd like to find a way to auction her off or something and donate the proceeds to Indy Youth Group (and organization in Indianapolis that helps provide community and support for LGBT kids and teens, which is extra important living in a red state these days.) Still need to work out the logistics of that, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know!

What if abilities changed the appearance of a Pokemon?

A master post of all the ability forms drawings I've done! It's been such a fun series to work on and it makes me so happy that it's brought you all so much joy!

I regret not starting the little additional descriptions earlier and I thought of fixing that but I desperately need a nap so nope.

I did fix the one that ruffled the most feathers though - quite literally! The Skarmory saga is finally complete!

Other Ability Forms posts!

Find me and my art elsewhere!

i must not let the fatigue get me i must not let the inertia take me i must not lie down, i must keep fighting. oh giles corey, patron saint of more weight, protect me as i walk forward, endlessly. so many days now i wake and the exhaustion presses her hands on my shoulders. she asks me what more can you do? and i close my eyes to her. i have given up so much already. i must not kiss her. she dances so beautifully. she makes this bed into a promise. i must not lie down, love. i must get up. i must keep fighting.
