I make raku pottery.

Which means clay, fire, smoke . . . and a little bit of chaos and magic.✨

These are my newest vessels from the flames. 🔥

If you feel like helping them find their people, a like or share means so much.🙏

Wishing you joy in the chaos 💙

With this project, I've steadily been working on those sleeves. I worked this sleeve to 45 rounds, so now it's time to switch to the other one! 😃

Wilderness

I walk lonely hills
of memory, in silence,
listening for ghosts;
their psalms, carried on the wind,
tell me I have lost myself.

Is there for honest Poverty
That hings his head, an’ a’ that;
The coward slave—we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a’ that!
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
Our toils obscure an’ a’ that,
The rank is but the guinea’s stamp,
The Man’s the gowd for a’ that.

—Robert Burns

Grant me, indulgent Heaven, that I may live,
To see the miscreants feel the pains they give;
Deal Freedom’s sacred treasures free as air,
Till Slave and Despot be but things that were.

—Robert Burns, “Lines Inscribed in a Lady’s Pocket Almanac”
