Introducing Cuddles Von Profit II, a capitalist cat-astrophe and a purr-fect reminder that billionaires are ridiculous, but cats are essential. 100% less morally reprehensible than a billionaire Adopt Cuddles & own a billionaire instead of them owning you. Warning: Do not eat. #Caturday
They are beautiful pups 💙 I find border collies to very friendly sweet dogs. We got a rescue last Fall who is keeping us on our toes. He is 1.5yrs old.
I did a sculpture called Axion which was a sphere suspended in an armillary like structure. It would be similar to this piece, but also different
I have been working on product descriptions this morning, but need a break. I have made a few raku spheres like this inspired by the cosmos (planets, moons, exoplanets). If you had to imagine a name or back story for this celestial object, what would it be? #sciart #astrophotography #astronomy
A taste of sunshine. Buy a raspberry plant if you can and in a few years you will never have to pay for raspberries again. #bloomscrolling #garden
Introducing everyone's favourite poised Parisian skunk. She's done with forgiving and now she is serving divorce papers with the sweet scent of revenge. Tired of years of Pepe chasing after anything with a white stripe, Madame Le Pew is now looking for a new home. Maybe you can help?
We grew almost all of our veggies from seed. Watching tiny seeds turn into all this great food we can eat and share with others always amazes me. #garden #bloomscrolling #gardening
This raku vase was inspired by part of an emission nebula 4000 light years away known as the 'Dragons of Ara'. It's name is not only a nod to the beauty of the nebula, but also to the fiery magical process of raku. #art #astronomy #sciart #pottery
It's peony season, and I am going to enjoy every moment of it ☀️ #bloomscrolling #garden
I've been making some bonsai pots lately, but when I'm not doing that I'm hanging out with the flowers and the trees and all the bees 🏳️🌈 More work coming soon! #bloomscrolling #garden #flowers #nature
It's #portfolioday, and I should probably share some pictures of my work, but we are still grieving the loss of our niece. It was her lived experience and our desire for people to be loved and accepted for who they are that inspired our trans mug fundraiser. rakupottery.ca/mugs/ Please share 💙🙏
It's official, I've survived another Canadian winter! #bloomscrolling #garden
Found this allium skeleton while tidying the garden today! #bloomscrolling #garden
Happy Thor's Day! This raku vase, "Thor's Helmet," is inspired by the nebula of the same name. It's a small reminder to look up, make something beautiful, and wish for a better world. ✨ Essential in these times. 🥰 #DontLetThemStealYourSoul #space #sciart
A little Easter magic for those who celebrate, and a tiny rabbit overlord to guard your treasures for those who don't 🐇😂 Happy Easter/Sunday! You can follow the white rabbit here, if you dare: rakupottery.ca/product/whit... #easter #eastcoastkin
A little lunar love with this moon vase from the fires of raku: rakupottery.ca/product/moon... May our trip around the moon remind us of how special the Earth is and that we should take care of it!
Our dog was really bad this morning. Not because he was chewing the remote, but because he almost signed up for Netflix 😂🐕 He had started filling in the email 😂
What a beauty. She looks like our feral one who thinks the dog's bed is his.
I believe art is for everyone. To keep my work accessible, I offer smaller successful test pieces for sale for $100 or less. Pieces with this glaze proved quite popular. Until I make some more, this piece is last of it's kind. Meet "Astral"
