I told myself I was going to take pictures before doing the final glazing and I managed to get one mug out of 8 pieces 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, hopefully they make through the kiln okay since I decided to do a new glazing process on all these pieces 🎉 🌸 But the one I did get pictures of is a wildflower mug with stylized native plants (coneflowers, oxeeye daisy's, goldenrod, verbena, rudbeckia, & tickseed). 🏵️ If it turns out good this is going to be one of many pieces sold in my first ceramic market! 🌼 #ceramic #handcraftedmug #handpaintedceramics #wildflowers #natureart #underglazepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBNdsQurvs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I did mess up the screen and got a very messy and incomplete print. But I was was able to save them with some touch ups. So next step was to digitize my initial drawings and print them out on transparency sheets for a test run of a photo emulsion screen! . . #screenprinting #ceramictransfers #underglazetransfer #wip #natureillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPxysdstWY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I started a new screen! I got a little impatient and now it might be messed up. But I will find out today if I can salvage it, and if not, I will clean it and try again! . . #screenprinting #handmadetransfers #ceramictransfers #underglazetransfer https://www.instagram.com/p/CiID17XOyjq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These five pieces are being sent out into the world today! Which means I have no scorpion pieces in the store anymore. I think I still have a few that need to be pinned and set 🤔 I think I might need to make more holding quartz stones 🦂 . . #electroformed #electroforming #electroformedjewelry #beetlejewelry #scorpionjewelry #smokyquartz https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxET9mOtaz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Great blue herons are beautiful birds and then you hear them squawk. How does such a majestic bird make such an awkward sound 😂 . . #ceramics #ceramicornaments #underglaze #underglazepainting #heronpainting #greatblueheron #natureillustration #natureart https://www.instagram.com/p/Chmlr0-uEpv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey all! It’s been a minute 😅 I’ve had a shift in the past few months where I have really gotten into pottery since it’s been a bit too cold and my electroforming bath has been giving me some wonky results. I’ve been thinking about offering some hand made and painted jewelry dishes to my store if that’s something people would be interested in? Here are a few examples of what I’ve been painting recently! . #pottery #handpaintedpottery #jewelrydish #swampandbone #witchyvibes #witcythings #swampwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYgTpZOBUW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I usually like the look of a patina over the shiny copper color, but this moth was too pretty so I had to leave it all bright and shiny! ✨ #electroform #electroformedjewelry #mothjewelry #insectjewelry #swampwitch #witchyvibes #copperjewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/CaYatRqOnL5/?utm_medium=tumblr

The texture and patina on this moth are stunning! Will be available in my next update (or DM me if you want this guy before it goes up). ✨ #electroformed #electroformedjewelry #mothjewelry #moths #insectart #insectjewelry #swampwitch #witchyvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNLXoAuWPv/?utm_medium=tumblr

😬 my e-bath has decided to start doing a thing. I just cleaned it cause I was starting to get some rough looking pieces but these little knobby spheres are new. Time to figure out a fix 🙃 . #electroforming #electroformingprocess #electroformingbath #electroformingtroubleshooting #wheelbug https://www.instagram.com/p/CXJdMHkOFZB/?utm_medium=tumblr

🦋Here are the five moth ornaments dropping in my store tomorrow! There are two small moths, two bigger moon moths, and one clay luna moth with abalone shell eye spots. 🌙 I love how the patina on the Luna moth turned out! ✨ #electroforming #electrformed #coppermoth #electroformedmoth #naturedecoration #swampandbone #insects #moths #swampwitch #witchyvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_WRJ9PMiD/?utm_medium=tumblr

🦋 Anyone ready for some moth ornaments/decorations? I love this moon moth ornament! ✨ 🦋 I have two larger moon moths, two small moths, and one clay moth with abalone shell eye spots, all on twine hangers.

Ugh I am not happy with the patina on these guys. They are going into the tumbler tomorrow to clean them up then we will try again 😩 Parts of them are nice, one side of one beetle has a purple shine to it but the rest is very uneven and just 😑 But I needed to take some ‘before’ pictures so I can have some comparisons for when I get them how I like them. #electrforming #wip #beetlejewelry #naturejewelry #witchyvibes #swampwitch #comingsoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwieD7L8_m/?utm_medium=tumblr
