Finished Tiny Microscope
I have a new tardigrade project. I have a commission to make a tardigrade seated at a lab bench with a microscope and petri dishes. Tonight, I started to experiment with miniature microscopes and also made a new tardigrade, although these are not the microscopes and tardigrade I'll be using for the project.

ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.
