new opossum pendants, now with 300% more opossum! I’m very excited about these little sculpted marsupial families. As always, 50% of proceeds from the sale of all opossum based products will be donated to Lyme disease research (with the other 50% going directly to a Lyme patient)

available for purchase here

Just a little ceramics final piece to reintroduce myself onto this site. This little possum guy was initially just going to be the head on a bed of flowers. But my teacher pushed me out of my comfort zone to make the largest piece I ever have and I couldn't be more happy, even if they turned out to be more of a zombie than the initial ode to death. The grey underglaze even ended up getting a green hint to hit after firing, truly matching the vibes of the piece.

I don't usually post stuff like this (and don't really plan to do so) but it is pride month and I wanted to share this sculpture I made :3

So, this is the pride opossum! They're named Marsha P(ossum) after Marsha P Johnson, and he goes by any pronouns!!!! Now excuse me while I be wordy:

It's a stand in for how the community is viewed as vermin, much like opossums, despite the fact that both are extremely beneficial to their surroundings. The LGBTQ+ community allows people to be open about who they are, and fight back against systems that prevent them from doing so.

Opossums perform similar benefits in their own environments! They essentially function as little vacuums for snakes, rodents, and bugs, especially ticks, as they prevent their populations from overflowing!

In addition, they also suffer from false rumours that the LGBTQ+ community suffers from. They're presumed to be disease ridden animals, when they actually kill the animals that spread them! It's difficult for them to get rabies due to their slightly lower body temperature, and their immunity to many snake venoms actually helped scientists create anti venom!

Essentially, both the Queers and the Opossums have helped and continue to help filter out the toxicity in their environments, and make it better for everyone!

I wanted to include as many pride items as possible, but there's only so much room before it becomes cluttered, so I tried to get the main ones (sorry to anyone who doesn't see their flag)

Btw the pan one gets a pan bc I still thinks it's funny (I'm pan)

Also this was the sample I made before doing the actual sculpture! Chose trans flag mainly because I just think the design is awesome, but it was also a bit of an homage to trans kids, since a lot of them aren't being provided the chance to become trans adults.

Shrimp and Marsha hanging out <3

Anyway that's all! Happy pride month everyone, and be safe!!!!!
