- My last pottery restock of the year is live. This porcelain skeleton embedded in a mossy rock outcrop was such a fun mug to sculpt. #ceramics #pottery #womensart #skeleton #ceramicmug #porcelain #art #handmademug #coffeemug #ceramicart #ceramicsofbluesky #pottersofbluesky #potteryofbluesky
- Here's a porcelain Anthropocene mug embedded with stones that I recently made for a long time customer. One of these days I'm going to keep one for myself. #ceramicart #porcelain #pottery #pottersofbluesky #womensart #skull #skeleton #geology #mug #handmade #clay #ceramics
- My landscapes always look like they're at risk of collapsing. Want a little precariousness with your favorite beverage? There's a band of igneous stones embedded and fired into the porcelain. #ceramicart #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #ceramicsofbluesky #porcelain #geological #cacti #desert
- Meet my Sky Islands clear glaze! The recipe consists of 90% locally scavenged calcium carb, quartz, and feldspar (1st photo). 2nd photo shows earlier attempts at making a clear desert mineral/rock glaze. #geology #rocks #minerals #ceramics #ceramicglaze #glazenerd #pottersofbluesky #artprocess

- An older design to share for #InverteFest. Very few people enjoy seeing a #cockroach on a mug they're drinking from, which is why I just had to make these. Only a customer with a particular sense of humor brings this into their home. #potteryofbluesky #ceramicmug #ceramics #wheelthrown #bugs #roach
- Another post for #InverteFest The Palo Verde Beetle, one of my favorite local invertebrates. They emerge during the monsoon season in the Sonoran Desert and freak people out due to their size and clumsy flying style. They're harmless and I love them. #beetle #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #pottery
- Sharing for #InverteFest (Reposted bc I got the hashtag wrong the first time!) I used to make tarantula mugs, this one was testing a neodymium glaze on the tarantula. Usually I glazed them in browns/blacks to resemble my local tarantulas. #tarantula #arachnid #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #pottery

- For those of you who wanted to see how the 1/2 high fire stoneware + 1/2 low fire local clay blend test emerged from a mid range firing, see the first photo. Photos 2, 3 and 4 are the same local clay w nothing added, fired to different temps. More info in alt text. #clay #wildclay #pottery #ceramics
- I mixed a blend of 1/2 cone ten (2345°F) stoneware clay and 1/2 cone 01 (2046°F) local desert clay to find out what its firing temperature will be. I'm guessing it'll be mid range, but who knows! #clay #wildclay #localclay #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #ceramicstudio
- I like locating rocks that I'm interested in identifying on a USGS map and then hiking to them. Yesterday I wanted to find fossils in Paleozoic limestone. Found the limestone. Not sure if what I found are fossils. It was a fun desert hike regardless. #desert #geology #usgs #rocks #landscape #fossils
