More Gizmo posting. :) Gizmo is probably about full grown now, although of course he will continue to fill out for the next few years. He doesn't seem to have grown into his giant ears. His ears are never filtered - just very big. When he was whee he used to put his ears back when he was playing and it made his head look a little like a hawk moth. I'm curious about how much his mane will fill out. Well anyway he's a good boy.
..here he is checking out one of my wares. I made this Sphynx mug a while ago as a prototype for my upcoming series of creature wares, and I just brought it home yesterday. Of course it would be cool to have a Maine C**n mug. It would not work with this design though, and the Sphynx is also a nifty breed.
I didn't notice it was left handed until I was talking to somebody about it - if I do make more the tail will have to go the other way. I'm a left-handed coffee drinker but evidently that's less common.
Anyway, the clay stuff is my other thing that I do when I'm not doing cats. I'm not sure if I will get more time devoted to expanding that this year or not either. The main obstacle to planning being that I started grad school this year after being laid off a year ago. Everything about where to devote my time and effort would make a lot more sense if I had a solid source of income. So for now, we'll see.
The coffee is good. Sometimes it is nice to appreciate the small things.
This mug: Wheel thrown, altered with coil handle, 2025.
