Please look at these incredible mugs of our cats that my mum made for my birthday!!
They all have lil balls and buttholes. I think they look just like our boys. Mum's gotten so good at pottery, I'm so proud of her, and I LOVE these mugs. Best birthday present ever <3
If anyone’s near Sydney I’m going to be at the Finders Keepers market at Carriageworks from the 3-5th of a May next weekend, come say hi and check out everything I’ve been making for it :)
my sad boy. he’s personal to me, but I love that he speaks to other people
there’s a few cracks ☹️ though honestly that seems like great symbolism
but his tattoos and piercings turned out great
and the back of his head is suitably horrible. I had originally covered his hands in blood but I wiped it back when I didn’t like it, and it turned into such a nice (and unplanned) effect to just have a little red staining his hands
I had custom bowls made for Maple and Juni (blue one is for me because how could I not???) The artist used pottery stamps me and my partner made specifically for these pieces. I love them!!! :3
“The photographs in the Rother album represent “Operation Magic Carpet” in an acutely mythologized and stereotyped form. The notable absence of images of hardship related to migration, the depiction of the Yemenite Jews as “traditional” in contrast to “modern” and “Western,” and the vision of the migrants as exilic and de-historicized refugees all fuel the mythology. The photographs, without context and interpretation, reiterate the power, dominance and modernity of the State of Israel and cast the Yemenites as ignorant and primitive Jews. Given this framing of the images, it seemed likely that the photographs were commissioned either by the JDC or the State of Israel.”
