Alrighty, this is my progress so far! I’ve been focusing on building the vase and making sure it stays stable and dries properly. I decided not to give the vase a neck because it was already getting pretty heavy, and I was a little worried it might collapse. Instead, I’m thinking of making a flat…

I am behind because I forgot after the sale last week and also I suck. The sale last weekend was very slow and honestly underwhelming, we had a lot less foot traffic this year than last year due to the weather, it was rainy and cold. But we had good feedback from other vendors. I…

“If you want to curdle the milk of your human kindness, get a job in the food service industry.” – Some Redditor Welp, consider me curdled. This weekend sucked, and I hate everything, lol. Sorry, I just had to say that “out loud” and get it out of my head. Now, let’s talk clay! I’ve…

Welcome back to the blog! I have been curious about my genealogy for a while now. While the Dominican Republic may not be seen as one of the countries with the largest diaspora, it is known in our history that our ancestors have been placed and displaced in and out, across oceans and cultures. I…
