Not gonna lie, I'm going thru it right now. This move and just life circumstances have got me feeling isolated in a way I don't think I've ever quite experienced before. Which is kind of saying a lot since we just experienced a pandemic 😅 Trying to get out, explore, and be patient while these lonely times become a thing of the past 🙏 taken in Colorado Springs, Colorado by @kdawnclay

Just a little peek into some of my processes. I draw digital designs on my tablet and then convert them into stencils that are cut with a die cutter ✂️ one of the hardest parts of the process is transferring the design stencil onto the peices. I caught this clip of myself applying in one try, but it almost always takes several attempts to get it right.

Are you taking your stroll in the garden with tea or coffee? Im on to pot number 2 and its not even noon. Snow days still feel special for this PNW gal- maybe by the end of this winter I will have changed my mind 😉 But for now I'm enjoying a snow day today with an almost 70 degree day forecasted this week?? I'm not totally sure I understand my new climate yet.

I have mugs on sale rn including this one! Handmade functional art make amazing gifts for those tricky gifters!

BOOP! Haven't posted in months because I moved across the country to Colorado! I feel like I'm constantly reminding, or telling people for the first time. It's been exhausting, but I'm finally feeling a little more settled. The pots have all made the trip safely with me and are ready to be sent off to new homes 🏡 Now is the perfect time to buy those holiday presents and have them shipped with plenty of time to make it under the tree. Berry bowls, spoon rests, mugs n more are ready to ship!

Checkers in various sizes- do you have a favorite? I like the smallest size because of the texture it creates. These are extra nice to hold in hand ☺️

I should have LOTS of new pots on the website tomorrow eve- set a reminder if you want first dibs! 10/15 6pm PST taken in Tacoma, Washington by @kdawnclay

Love a stencil that pulls off in one go 🙏 some stencils take me a ton of time to apply and remove because of how intricate they are.

This round of making I really focused on the amount of time that was put into each piece/design and tried to keep things less complicated so that prices can stay lower. I want folks to be able to stay in their budget and still shop with me for holiday- that was probably the #1 feedback I got last year- "would love to buy for me but it's too $$ to buy as a gift." I tried to internalize that feedback and make some smaller mugs/planters with less time-consuming designs. This is not to say these pots aren't totally fabulous- just less 🤑 all work this round is dishwasher microwave safe for my coffee reheaters 🤣 Update coming 10/15 6pm PT
