Here is an archive of things I sold or given away!
|
Sid . Sid is smooth matte black on the outside, dramatic ice-blue starburst on the inside. A perfect little handful for a small cup of tea. It is true that Sid and Wiggles are twins, but not identical twins.
|
Wiggles . Wiggles looks a lot like Sid to begin with, but he's *a little different.* His handle sticks out like a hunched shoulder. He's little and sleek, but something is clearly trapped inside, trying to get out. He and Sid are twins, but don't hold this against him.
|
|
Marguerite . Proud, petite wings spike out of Marguerite's sides. A delicate tail of a handle and turquoise décolletage complete her look. Here for possibility.
|
Eos . A fat little goddess of a mug to help you greet the day. Handle like a tail. Generous drips of turquoise runneth over.
|
|
Bluebeard . Bluebeard, red with blood, is know for murdering his wives. A handsome mug to be sure, though. Just don't marry him; use him to hold a good amount of coffee instead.
|
Flo . Half brick red, half taupe, with vibrant turquoise rivuletting down from the rim, Flo's thick juicy glaze threatens to ooze right onto the table, but doesn't quite. Enjoy her elf-ear handle and the aurora borealis on that one side.
|
|
Claudia . Claudia's stout roundness holds a lot, and her glaze speaks the rich green and purple languages of the forest floor, while being chocolate-dipped.
|
Safety . Nice mossy color, solid handle, but something is for sure trying to escape from this mug.
|
|
Genevieve . Genevieve is a sturdy cylinder for sipping seafoam-topped salt water, cold like your feet in spring.
|
Sean . Sean is a good boy who keeps his collar clean even if he is (just a little) lopsided. Handle with a thumbed groove. Happy spiral downstairs.
|
|
Quin . A classic latte shape with a friendly, curly handle. Shiny cream color dipped in red, begs to be cupped with both hands.
|
Satchel . Satchel can bee worn as a backpack if you are a kitten or kitten-sized and don't mind the rigidity. Better to use him as a mug with holding options. He has a white satin finish and red raspberry drips. His straps of handle tug at the rim a bit.
|
|
Hen . Short for Henry, but not short for a mug, relatively average-heighted in fact. Appears to be made out of a partially burnt piece of wood, but is not. Is made out of clay.
|
Vlad . Vlad is dark, with a slight taper and vibrant insides, perfect for sipping the blood of your enemies. Or hot water with lemon.
|
|
Saul . Saul is quiet and dependable as an antique radiator, white paint worn but not gone. Hot enough to dry your hat and mittens on.
|
Sam . Sam is a good mug. He is pale with freckles and his favorite color is blue. Bit of a waxy feel, cinnamon-roll bottom, the most trustworthy handle shape.
|
|
Mary . Mary is a pie-crust colored mug dipped in strawberry jam that lives in a fluid state of ooze. Stripes on the inside, cinnamon-bun bottom.
|
Angela . Half lavender, half cream-spotted copper, behold, Angela is shaped to hold and be held.
|
|
Adventure . An extra large, pale gray mug describes a creature embarking on a grand Adventure, climbing past the curly clouds and up into the sky.
|
KeeKat . Mew mew mew mew mew mew mew.
|
|
Jim . Someone has already skated around Jim's ice rink. His bottom has been dipped in a metallic chocolate. He's the largest of the tumblers at 12 oz.
|
Violet . Like Violet Beauregarde in color and in attitude. Dependable and smart.
|
|
Burst . Burst is all worm and galaxy. You can get lost in the chemical reactions on her insides.
|
Annie . Annie's peachy grooves were created by dripping wax up from the bottom. A white skim of glaze describes the fjords in her red middle.
|
|
Petal . This little pitcher looks like she's made of a very pale pink rose from last week. Her edge is a little raggedy and beginning to brown, but she's still beautiful and game to cold your milk (or whatever you want to put in a pitcher). Please note, she has an "s" crack on her bottom, which is something that happened in her first firing. It's sealed with glaze, so she's food safe, but I wouldn't get her too hot.
|
Whale . Whale is really something special. They're at once elegant and awkward, sitting like a a sturdy canvas sack that hold's itself open pretty well, but has just begun to slouch. They're color scheme is creams and pale blues and turquoise, but there is an ocean of whirling noise up top to get lost in.
|
|
Arugula .
|
Mars .
|
|
Knucks . Knucks has not a handle, but five fingerles. Pale orange on the inside, gunmetal fingerles, and a delicate pattern in the gray of the outside, somewhere between a tidepool and a starry night sky.
|
Fate . Cousin It's cousin, I think, crawling out of Fate's dark, dreary side and on in. Drink up, don't want him to get any.
|
|
Max . I dreamed up Max after borrowing a mug so squat that I could set it on the couch next to me with no fear of it spilling. Max can do the same. He's got a happy little handle and coloring that puts me in mind of a midsummer field.
|
SweetieMug . Little cutie has a slight pot-belly and cool green glazing. I didn't know what she'd be, but she must have bumped into a vessel of a different color as she dried, leaving a heart-shaped mark. Felt meant-to-be, so I leaned into it rather than try to polish it away.
|
|
Jermaine . Jermaine is one of my favorites, sweet but not too sweet, delicate but not to delicate, small but mighty. Eyeball-blue inside with a lichen of taupe and cream struck through with cranberry. Outside runs on a similar theme with some jewel-tone drips.
|
Lil Red . Lil Red is too beautiful to be photographed accurately. She has a slight pot-belly, with modest earth-tones on the outside and swirling jewel-tones on the inside, Her handle yanks on the rim so that it wrinkles.
|
|
Darling . Darling is the squattest mug I've made to date. She's fat-bottomed and reliable, and wearing her 1970's kitchenware best. She does have a bit of s-crack on her bottom, but is nonetheless sealed and resilient (and food-safe), just don't take her from hot to cold temperatures too quickly.
|
Apricot . This friend is a small polite mug with a sturdy, spoonish handle. The biggest handle I could attach to her without it starting to feel weird. Modest autumn tones on the outside, bright orange inside.
|
|
Lanse . Lanse is very proud of his thumb-formed handle, which is prominent and curly, but does not detract from the landscape of his bowl. Please admire his green ocean, his dark galaxy, his gentle rolling hills of subtle purple. See his swirly bottom. Drink from his royal depths.
|
Jimmy . Jimmy is Lanse's older brother, and while he shares some of those same characteristics, and is in some ways more beautiful, his life has been a difficult one. Cut him some slack.
|
|
Squee . Squee is a friendly little mouse pitcher that will hold a lot of milk! Tug on his sweet little ears. Caress his twirly tail! I was trying to make a globe when I threw him, but partway through the process he leapt off the wheel and into my arms and declared himself done! Precocious lil guy.
|
Jan . Jan's split down the middle, with dueling personalities. She's half purply-black brooding, half drippy sunny wheat-field. With your help she can find balance. Please help!
|
|
Grinn . Grinn is a pretty standard pink mug with a wide, comfy handle and he holds a generous amount of liquid. Shiny red glaze and toasted marshmallow up top. And, well...teeth. This mug has teeth. Pretty big ones. Sorry.
|
Fred . Fred's a good guy. He's got a button nose and soft, kind ears. This shade of red has a smattering of vibrant blue in it that gives Fred a hint of purple shimmer.
|
|
Higgins . Named after a beach that is not so much a lay=in-the-sun beach as much as it is a play-the-water, lose-track-off-time, tan-extremely-unevenly kind of beach. A full-bodied mug. Tan is matte, white is smoothy-smooth glossy.
|
Flannery . Flannery is freshly baked coppery goodness on the bottom with clean white icing up top, with a wide handle and a smattering of whimsical grooves carved around her middle. My first attempt at a hexagonal foot, which I think went well even if it's not cleanly done.
|
|
Jazz . Jazz is so shiny and electric! Bright but not too bright on a dark morning. Zippy with a broad handle. Very pleasant to hold.
|
Stan . Good ol' Stan. Large but unassuming. Will lend an ear.
|
|
Shrimpo . This shy lil guy has a gentle curve, tiger's eye-green body, and accommodating handle. He'll hold a small amount of liquid for you no problem.
|
Sonny . Sonny might've been a can of beans in a past life. He's a solid yellow cylinder with delicate rusty accents and a whip of a handle that goes right inside. That handle has a fun grippy texture at its base that speaks of a dark past. But Sonny's just a mug now. Sonny can hang.
|
|
Eudora . So many places to hold her! Eudora is a sea nymph, and has many sea-like qualities to prove - calm green waves, dark depths, and teeny textures on her arms that will put you in mind of an octopus.
|
Brain . Brain is monstrous, in size as well as in form. They are the largest drinking vessel I've made, with a solid yet slightly asymmetrical structure that says "holy cow, this mug I'm making is almost too big to handle!" Half creature-green, half brain-colored with brain texture. The perfect gift for your biggest-brained friend (even if that friend is yourself, know-it-all).
|
|
Pinepoint . Smooth, vast, contemplative like our favorite beach at low tide. Waxy lollipop stick of handle (but clean!), bowl-shaped to hold all.
|
Crescent . Crescent fresh, crescent moon, crescent beach, crescent roll. A peaceful coffee-shaped cup, wide enough to dunk some of the above.
|
|
King . A large and fancy cup! Many swoops and spirals on him! So much of this favorite glaze that is drips right off the edge!
|
Jill . Jill is a window-gazing mug with impressive capacity. Simple stripes, a couple cute freckles amidst the white, a couple glaze-free kisses on her cheeks. Prominent foot, handle feels like hands made it (They did. My hands.).
|
|
Pastry .
|
Calm .
|
|
Rhodes .
|
Imogen .
|
|
Piper .
|
East End . Dark-edged and rough textured but still lovely, like that other beach. Funky handle. Smoky little remnants of last night's dream inside.
|
|
Sally .
|
Jerry . The purple that dreams are made of, with a few crystals of blue dribbling down the side, Jerry is a LARGE mug for all day meetings.
|
|
Christine . Christine has lots of textures and nuances of color to speak of, and also every handle. Can't decide where you like to hold? No problem, this is every handle. Too many you say? No such thing! I dipped her in the glaze past my fingers and it left a fun design, I think.
|
Poseidon .
|
|
Charlotte . Get it? Charlotte's Web? Looks like Charlotte has decided to build her a set of new webs amongst the abandoned cobwebs of her ancestors. This mug features a handle that is tight to the body and a prominent foot. It may give you a fright to drink out of, but you'll be rewarded with a jolly little spiral at the bottom when you're finished.
|
Bingo . Bingo is curious and hopeful. He had a scratch on his face, but it's healing. Hold the handle, or hold onto his wings if you like. He trusts you.
|
|
Paige .
|
Sela . What can I say? She's perfect purple in a little cup you won't be able to stop touching.
|
Eighteen
|
Nineteen
|
|
Wanda . Wanda is large and proud. Motherly, but with no children of her own, she holds every baby, handfuls of flowers, the afternoon's lemonade. An unconventional pitcher, but she pours well. 20 oz liquid capacity.
|
Portia . A bud vase. Black and blue but in a nice way, in her overcoat wrapped up tight, ready for a modest display. 4 oz liquid capacity.
|
|
Moe . Mooooooe! What a happy guy. What nice ears he has! See his dragon friend! Each of his colors is nice to look at, his capacity is generous, and if your bev is too hot to handle, he's got your back twice.
|
Flossy .
|
|
Song . This is a good one. Song dresses in glossy bright white with a two-toned scarf of fire and ice. She has an admirable shape and a wide handle that keeps your fingies safe from the heat.
|
Philip . Philip isn't plain, he's a pale prism of patience, so sit awhile.
|
|
Vibe . You cannot keep this vibe down. He's jolly-shaped and cool-dream colored with enough golden inside to groove all day.
|
Chime . Chime is a love story and a triumph against odds story. I was throwing a more regular mug shape, but they folded in on me. That's okay. I rolled with it. Next, I was going to wait a few days until they dried a bit to attach a handle. They there was a pandemic-fueled lockdown. Fine. When I finally got back to the studio months later, I was able to trim them but they were too dry to attach a handle. No problem. But after the first firing, she came back with half her bottom chipped off - I don't know why, I don't do the firings myself. I could have quit then, but I didn't. I glazed them and they came back to me looking GORGEOUS, and essentially unaffected by missing chunks from their bottom - they sit flat and don't tip unless you push your luck. I say it gives them character.
|
|
Mitch . Mitch dresses for attention, with bold contrasts and careful details. He's quietly dying to know if you noticed his chunky geometric handle, his coordinated in and out spirals.
|
Gwenny's Mug .
|
|
Title . Any book, good or bad, begins with a title. This one has a smooth clean page, mood music at the bottom. Whatever needs to rise bubbles up to the top and converges with the reprise at the rim. So begin.
|
Cuttle .
|
|
Honey . This mug is made of honey taffy* melting in the sun. The inside has a delicate pattern of concentric circles in lavender. I apologize that one of these photos is blurry, but I didn't notice when I took it, and she looks so jolly and relaxed that I wanted to leave it in.
*Not really. It is clay. |
Genny . Genny is pale yellow with the idea of blue. She's has a perfect little bowl with an imperfect handle.
|
|
Leah . On a gray-toned day when you're not expecting purple - there Leah is! A capacious cocoa cup with a sass handle.
|
Shane . Clean lines, waxy-matte finish, chill purple, just an all-around good drinking-mug.
|
|
Malden . This is a L O R G E mug with a handle more thought-provoking than sense-making. A friend to minnows and plover eggs.
|
Minnow . Minnow’s shiny depths sport speckles and sparkles. She’s sophisticated and gritty, ready for the possibility of your concoction.
|
|
Roy . Does Roy look preppy to you? Maybe it's the color scheme. But he's got a fancy lip and sad eyes so I like him. Drink with caution, he's a wrinkly boy.
|
Eugene . Eugene is not just a capacious mug, but a friendly and curious pal. Tell him your dreams upon waking over coffee, or debrief about your day over lavender tea or a hot toddy. He is the most avid of listeners.
|
|
Lagoon . A round little cove of smooth but uneven sides, filled with the greens and blues of the most vibrant water. A small cup with a long handle. You can really see the algae along the sides.
|
Imp .
|
|
Kelly . Kelly is a leather upholstered clarinet with real ivory (cruelty free). Just a gentle twist in her midsection and easy handling.
|
Caramel . Caramel goes all out! Jewel tones and neutrals, the roundest shape for max capac, so extra it’s dripping down the side.
|
|
Gould . Gould is simple man, round and sensible, keeps you caffeinated, and keeps it purple.
|
Tina . This friend is purple AF.
|
|
Hoast . Haunted by toast! You get it. Activate this mug with hot water and as your tea brews, you’ll feel compelled to eat bread, but you want to kill it first and then spread it with the gelatinous redness of preserved berries. You know.
|
Chloris . Chloris is a fancy, round lady with a mountainous bib and sweet lil pig’s tail handle. She oozes elegance without being pretentious.
|
|
Sharps . Ringed with a fractal, with a heartbeat, with growing moss. It's freckles and a gaze at the horizon. Whatever it is, it's alive and it's sharp.
|
Melt . Get it. GET IT. She's got a drip, there, running down her flank. Oh dear. Listen, she's a good mug and only drippy in an imaginary way, I swear. Will hold beverages flush to the rim and look cut doing it.
|
|
Charm . The shininess on Charm's insides is out of control. Admire his full, baskety hips. That thick handle. That look in his eyes that speaks of possibility. Run away together - or hang around together. Charm is up for it.
|
Snail . The rare six-sided snail snails slowly enough across the breakfast table to carry hot sips of coffee and tea without sloshing. This one is blushing, they're so pleased you noticed them. Come closer.
|
|
Landra . Pair the structure of a sturdy iron fence with a twisted lock of hair, a settling drop of water, an inspiration. Fill it with juice, coffee, wine. This is Landra.
|
Nina . Nina says, "let me get that for you." Simple curves, generous ouncage, and just a sliver of dissipation to make her more relatable.
|
|
Scape . Scape is an early mug, a learning mug. When I tried to make the handle blue and the mug rusty white, I learned about the magic that can happen when glazes overlap. Through another accident of glazing, she has a symmetrical burst of pattern on her front, like a butterfly or a rib cage. She's covering in little glitter spots. (She also gave me a little lens flare in this photoshoot!)
|
Drop . The sassiness of their handle, their drop shape, their flirtatious bubbles, make me assume that whatever’s inside is c a n d y.
|
|
Murphy . Murphy is for a retiring evening. He is shiny and smooth, lightly metallic at the rim with a lovely dark clay-body, slight bark texture and mottled bottom.
|
Jacky . Jacky is mainly pastels and pale grays, with a sluice of golden retriever down one side. She's a small, easy-sipper with slightly rippled lip. Flair without daunt.
|
|
Persephone . Her is Persephone, fresh from the underworld, dripping in decaying foliage. She's a creepy little mug, with a dark body and nip of a handle, but excellent for hot or cold beverages.
|
Chloe . Little buddy had to have some uneven bits ground off her bottom (don't we all sometimes?" but in the end she's a beaut. Dig her velvet rivulets and landscapes, the glassy glossy bright blues and yellows inside.
|
|
Cameron . Cameron is the cool kid. A wide cylinder with casual crossed handles, glaze that divots and bumps to the bottom, little moutainscape inside. Don't let the handle(s) fool you, and easy-drinking favorite.
|
Courtney . Courtney is blonde-to-gold, with water-blue glaze that fills in what used to be gentle curves along her mid-section. She loves especially that time of year when almost all the leaves are gone, but the larch, poplar, and ginkgo hold onto their yellows
|
|
Red Velvet . Red Velvet in that little boy's smile, layers cake and drips of jewel tones, a generous handle, a geometric bottom, a new religion that'll bring you to your knees.
|
Michael
|
|
Ned . Ned is a simple dude with simple needs. He will take a cup of coffee, thans, and he hopes you’ll mention his haircut.
|
Claude .
|
|
Weft . Look at Weft's waves! Everything about them suggests fingers to me. Look at their lil blue rainbow. Their salty handle is crawling away, can't even handle itself.
|
Talula . Helloooooooooo. Here's Talula in her black velvet dress with the pale-puple going-out ruffle of slip peaking out. Handle like a wristlet, watercolored insides. Seriously, consider that perfect little apex pleat.
|
|
Bluet . A delicate, star-shaped autumn flower, an electric damsel fly, a collection of poetry, a drippy faced, proud-handled mug.
|
Wherewithal . Hope on a cloudy day. A mug with a thin spot that makes it better than it could have been without. Dig that curly handle, and the mountainside.
|
|
Mallow . This one screams out for hot chocolate, with its large capacity, rich brown bottom, thick marshmallow glaze up top, whipped rim, and a handle big enough to keep your knuckles safe when it's piping hot.
|
Jonathan . Jonathan is a favorite of fans of landscapes. His handle is little but mighty. He has a texture that catches attractively on the sky of his glaze. Some people might think he's a pitcher, but he's not, he's just a little twisted.
|
|
George
|
Sven . Sven is PINT GLASS. Fill him with ale, climb a mountaintop, empty him into the sky. See where he might have been a mug, but the handle disengaged before he was finished? Perfect little thumb spot. Sven knew better.
|
|
Meg . Meg is cheery and geometric. Imperfectly painted, but she's trying. Sweet round ear of handle and spiral bottom.
|
Poole . Poole is pale-purple, with hidden depths of blue. She's matte and gloss. She's contemplative and capacious. Sip and gaze with her.
|
|
Jasper . This is maybe the perfect mug. Full-bellied, complexly glazed but not too weird, pleasant handle, just the right size. Get this for Goldilocks, if you know her.
