Thought I'd do an #introduction
I'm Ellie, a #ceramicist specialising in #birds and #wildlife
I am #actuallyautistic and trying to be brave by branching out into the big wide world a little more.
Figured the best introduction would be one showing off my newest piece out of the kiln, this tree full of the #owls of the UK.
Here’s the deal: We name mass shootings the way we do hurricanes but after Republicans who accept payments from the NRA.
When illustrating pirates for stories such as "Treasure Island," Victorian artist Howard Pyle had to rely on his imagination, and was heavily inspired by Romani clothing. Due to Pyle, pirates are often envisioned with colorful kerchiefs, sashes, and other adornments.

July was quite the month - I graduated from uni (aged 53....its never too late), we got kittens and our local sea-swimmers had their 2nd year anniversary bash where we were joined in our sunset swim by a porpoise. Nice.

We have #kittens.
They're adorable & settling in well. I'm starting to love them and they certainly make the house less quiet!
I dont miss my dog any less though. He leaves a big hole in my life and heart. #dog #grief

"A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography" at London's Tate Modern brings together the work of 36 photographers from Africa. The exhibition is intended to present a nuanced vision of the continent's past, present and future, and to examine photographic images as supposed documents of truth. Dazed interviewed six of the participants about their work.

I find the juvenile starlings have a kinda gothic look to them. This is one of the many visiting starlings in the garden today.

Local newspaper wants to interview me about our free community gallery I curate as caretaker. I’m an introvert,and they’re asking personal info, and worst of all want a picture of me for the article. Declining a photo isn’t rude, is it? I want to focus on the gallery and not me. My much neurodivergent self is ruminating over this and now can’t focus on my daily tasks. #anxiety #neurodivergent #art #freelittleartgallery
