flower child.

I graduated
from Gordon State College
December 16th 2022,

wrap up my 2022 time capsule
with than my graduation cap.

to make this is a
mystery

At the lazy j there's a few people who
think they run the show-
However, the only true boss
is boss baby.
She was found in the ceiling of a local building
and the owner of the lazy j- Tori bottle fed her
they are now inseparable,
and she is the
official
store cat /mascot /menace.

putting my
stamp
on it
I was debating ordering stamps to make ornaments with
(yes, you have to plan this early
for Christmas in the pottery universe.)
then i woke up in a cold sweat at 2 am
realizing I could make my own-
I really love how they came out-
I use this stamp across all mediums,
I hand stamp shirts and tea towels,
and the ornaments came out great.

book cover
draft 1
Thomaston has a long history
of being a mill town
-mostly textiles-
and that helped inspire the background
of the mill for the front cover,
we went with a more toned down version
eventually, but this was my favorite version.

poppy &
findley
the cutest duo.
My pottery guru / studio fairy Maryann had her first two grandbabies- 2 little girls named Poppy and Findley.I thought id make her a special DUO.
this was my first attempt at a F.C. duo, a middle of the night creative breakthrough.

im illustrating
a book
about thomaston
It was honestly surreal to be asked toillustrate a BOOK
especially one about Thomaston.
Debbie and I clicked from the beginning about the overall vibe of the book- it being family focused we wanted it to be fun and packed with color. It was one of my favorite projects I've been a part of- collaborating and sketching more of Thomaston technicolor style.4/19/22
clock
tower
coming in
Thomaston had the clock tower on our courthouse redone-
and it inspired me to make more mixed media styles of Technicolor Thomastons.

lily fest
4/6/22
Lily fest has evolved over the years,
it started out as several families floating the flint together
- at the time to see the shoal lilies bloom. The lilies are endangered and are mainly located in the flint and don't bloom for long.We would float down and get out at PAM’S cabin,where after a beer or two
(or 3,, or 4,,)
it always turned into a sing along around the fire.
Eventually the cabin upgraded into a wedding venue-and with that
lily fest
was officially REborn
a BLUEGRASS
music
festival.
Pam asked me if i was interested in doing merch for it
and i jumped at the chance.
I BASED THE DESIGN OF A BANJO AND THE ICONIC LILY
It was so cool to make a design for an event I attended for years before its official debut.

the
birth
of the
flower
children
The OG Flower children were one of my first attempts
at hand building a more sculptural piece- vs thrown or slabbed.
The OGs were so charming-
their little personalities already forming through the clay
they were a hit.
And as i made more they got bigger and better- in size and personality.
It’s so fun to watch them transform throughout the process.
aND THEY ARE DEFINITELY A PROCESS LOL

100
pots
I had a great deal of luck
this saint patricks day-
after managing 2 pots
i threw 7, including
my 100th pot!
Pottery is one of my favorite art forms-
and being covered in mud has become
one of my basic forms.
