There is only so much surface on a 4 inch mug that you can use for a mecha carving project design. Luckily RX78 is so iconic I am sure fans will recognise it even with half the face. Google Lens did. So I am pretty happy. (update) Final firing.
Art in the Window: A Sneak Peek at the Richmond Potters Club Spring Sale
I’m thrilled to share that two of my recent pieces are currently on exhibition alongside a fantastic collection of works from my fellow local artists! These pieces represent some of my favorite explorations in form and surface design lately, and they’re serving as a little “appetizer” for what’s coming up at our big annual event….
My Experience with Underglaze on Bisque vs Greenware
Well , why not? The plate was bisque fired already. I am reading contradicting advises on internet about whether underglaze shall be applied on green ware or bisque ware. The application experience is definitely different. I had done both and honestly on a plate I dont see any problem or difference. I usually use speedball…
Red Frame mug
I had crafted a red frame carved on a small pot and glazed it with a flux glaze. It looks alright but not great. I havr been wondering what is wrong. Finally I get it. It wasnt painted Thatis what is wrong. So I painted this one. It is relatively small compare to my other…
Gandolf! But … tiny

Gnome needs a home
And he found one.
Black Dragon Plate
Exploring a minimalist dragon-silhouette design on a plate. A plate works well as a canvas because it’s much easier to manage. I also tried another dragon style that’s completely different, and I’ll post it soon.
Mazinger Z
Mazinger Z is another childhood memory I have. I barely remember any plot or the pilot but the robot and the weapons of Mazinger Z have been imprinted in my little mind. I remember pretending my arms amd fists can fly and hit bad guys. LOL
Nature’s Beauty
Sometimes I draw inspiration from nature, like many artists do. Other times, I snap spontaneous photos—people on the street, at the mall when I’m traveling, walking my dog, or simply while sipping my morning coffee. Honestly, the phone camera might be one of the best inventions ever. Through its lens, I can capture tiny moments…
Families of Gnomes
Gnomes and elves are such wonderful fantasy characters. I’m always amazed by how many different portrayals of them exist—in storybooks, cartoons, animations, and live-action movies! I remember there was even a movie about blue and red gnomes or something like that. They all have so much attitude, and they’re cute and funny too. I started…
