It’s gonna be a Hot Clay Summer, Kiln Fest Edition!!! I’m ready to party, Cowboy Amethyst style! 🤠

As you are reading this, I’m sending off the last of my unfired pieces to the kiln rental to catch up to all my other bisque fired pieces.

#ThrowbackThursday a montage of my last big project! I’m so glad my hubby loved it!

Not me just now realizing I never showed y’all the end result on here 🤣

[ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝔸𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕪𝕤𝕥 ℂ𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕔𝕤 @QueenAmethystCe]

I’m finally at the point where I can show you what I’m working on without showing what I’m working on. 😆

This is also my first ever full rainbow in tie dyeing! I’m LOVING how cute this looks!!!

Stay tuned for more cool things to come! ✌🏽💜🌈 #tiedyeday

In my tie dye universe, I’ve now officially ventured into the dark side of the ink!

Reverse tie dye is so cool with the contrast, whether you leave it bleached or reach the next step of adding color!

Then, all Summer long I’ll be glazing up a storm to bring all my pieces into their final form!!! #CompleteYourDestiny is in full effect, and I’m excited to see what happens!

Please send all the well wishes to my clay babies!!! ✌🏽💜🏺

I’ve been putting my long dormant French class skills to use with this little fish song I’m obsessed with! Steve’s vibes are how I like to kick off the shift to glazing mode!

A quick update: my first level of my personal #CompleteYourDestiny challenge is done! Time to shift to glaze mode and keep moving up the battle tower of finishing projects with loose ends! ✌🏽💜🏺

Deciding to bring my longtime passion for clay into my home 5 years ago was one of the best choices of my life.

I’ve grown so much even as someone familiar with the medium, & I am grateful for each and every one of you that supported me on any level. To many more years!

I like to look back on my old works and my old moments in ceramics, but with the mindset of taking note and planning how to grow in the future. Life is progression.

The before and after of that day. Forgive my blurry camera skills trying not to be awkward in the studio with a digital camera 😂

[ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝔸𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕪𝕤𝕥 ℂ𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕔𝕤 @QueenAmethystCe]

I just had a whole dream where I was on a mission to find a wood firing kiln to borrow. The last time I did one was 2009 😭 clearly I’m overdue. 😂

#onthisday I made this to get ready for my first NCECA conference, and as a way to know more about me. Might do an updated one in the future but this still stands.

I’m excited that I get to carve and sculpt at the current stage of this project. It is an intimate bonding experience with clay for me, as each physical touch and action feels like an intentional conversation. ✌🏽💜🏺

An update on my current project. The details are still top secret, so if you’re a clay friend who knows things keep the comments spoiler free 🤫🤐🫶🏽 #completeyourdestiny #claylife ✌🏽💜🏺

Just had the craziest ceramics dream that really made me think about my past work and the way I need to move going forward.

It called back to pieces from high school and college that are lost, gone and likely broken, but they were still having their moment in the literal sun.
