Did I ever post the finished Lascaux (& etc) horses here?!
This first batch of them will be available in my next shop update, but there are more getting bisque-fired tomorrow that should be going into the shop in mid-April alongside a couple more cave painting mugs :)
Getting glazed pottery out of the kiln is always a bit nerve wracking to me. Because a lot of the time I’ve spent a long time on a piece, with sculptural elements and little details, and there’s always a chance the glaze just...won’t work. But sometimes something comes out of the kiln looking exactly like I wanted. This tea set is one of those times.
Kitsune : According to Yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shapeshift into human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others – as foxes in folklore often do – other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives. (From mythus.fandom.com) Kitsune Fox Spirit is now available to purchase via my webshop.

Baubo (earthenware and underglazes) goddess of mirth, head optional. She is barely known in the pantheon but the stories about her are delightful, all body, no head, sexy and silly and playful. Tell me how to remove my head and be my body, come alive
This cup is the visual representation of Flynn Rider. For context a girl in my ceramics class who I will refer to as L meet this guy who she beloved to had a star king resemblance to Flynn Rider. So of course L gave him this too tear compliment. She proceeded to tell Flynn that if she ever revived that compliment that she just Mary the person who told her that this. He responds to this was “now that I think about it u kinda look like repunzel”
Anyway, when L was telling me about this conversation I can to the shocking realization that this man has commitment issues. So of course I told her this. My reasoning was that she told him this compliment and how she would Mary the person who gave her this compliment, but instead of giving her this compliment he gave her a similar but different out of fear of having to marry her. She starting to argue that well Flynn had never had a girlfriend so how could he have commitment issues. Before she was like “ow wait 😅 your right 😂” Anyway this has became a running gag between me and her. And she says how if L and her boyfriend ever broke up that her plan b is Flynn.
So back to the cup. She threw this cup on the wheel but she accidentally bumped it and it half collapsed into a heart shape. And we were like you have to give this to Flynn. So the design behind it is that the cup is uneven and has minimal design to represent his said commitment issues and how he wants the credit but faint want to put to much work in to the point he becomes invested. And to top it off she signed it SG. Which stands for that short girl. This is due to the fact that L found out that Flynn and his friends have been referring to L as “that short girl who fallows Flynn around”. Which is hilarious. Of course we had to ask her whether she’s been staking him or something when she told us this. She said no. So to double check we ask “are you sure” which she replied “I don’t think so”. So anyway this is my proof that Flynn rider has commitment issues.
