Sometimes things melt a little and that makes them even more charming. If only I could bring that mentality to myself! πŸ˜†

Ceramic vase comprised of a stack of Japanese-inspired lucky symbols sitting on a wood table against a slate blue wall. At the bottom of the stack is a red Daruma with a fiercely cute face and a yellow Koi (carp) on his side. On top of the Daruma is a Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) with a white belly and brown mask and ears with bamboo motifs on his sides. On top of the Tanuki is a Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat) with right paw raised, a red collar and yellow bell, and wide yellow eyes. At the top of the stack is a Fukuro (Owl) with bright, folk-art inspired eyes, a brown beak, and scallop design feathers.

We could all use a little extra luck and encouragement to persevere these days. I packed six lucky symbols into this functional sculpture - can you find them all?

Get lucky and snag this piece at In Praise of Small Things opening next Friday, February 28th at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana πŸ€πŸ€ž

Finally!! A green I like! I’m extremely happy with this first glute-ful gratitoad mug. More exploration is needed as to the profile in the derriΓ¨re; but for now I’m keeping this one, it makes me giggle every time I see its cheeks. Both sets.
