I've been using a variety of clay bodies for awhile now. This week I created some test tiles to hone in on which ones produce the best results with the glazes I have. Stay tuned 🎨🔥

We are now at the halfway point of the Rock Dogs Kickstarter to fund a kiln, and with the support of 73 backers, have reached 83% of the funding goal!
~
These three Rock Dogs are being gifted to a Portland animal rescue organization this week for an upcoming fundraiser. It thrills me to support organizations that provide services that help animals find new homes. Backers of the Kickstarter can also gift Rock Dogs. 💞🐶💞
~
In the next two weeks, Rock Dogs and I will do our very best to warm the hearts of potential backers and continue to spread the joy they bring. The funding goal is very much within reach.

I love gardening so I have a few friends in my raised beds to greet me whenever I peruse my produce.

Year one was an adventure. All sorts of animals were made. A cowboy corgi, Unidog, a raccoon, ladybugs, pigs, hens, a whale, succulent pots, even doggie banks. What will be created in year two you wonder??? Ideas? Yes, I have a few. 😉

Morning tea with the Pebble Pups. Neighborhood girls rearranged their fairy garden so this Rock Dog can enjoy some tea and biscuits with their friends. 😊😉 Too cute.

Prompt: Starting point
~
What started this clay pet journey was this guy, Fergus. Fergus now lives happily at a home in Portland. I created him back in November 2019 not long after I became a community member at @themudroompdx 🐕
~
What was so amazing to me was the enthusiasm and encouragement of other community members to keep going and make more, so I did.
~
I thrive with the support of a creative community and participating in these #marchmeetthemaker2021 days have helped me tap into my original purpose to share the joy of Rock Dogs.

Prompt: Wrapped and packaged
~
I have learned a few things about the importance of good packaging. The most important for me is making sure all of the clay pets arrive at their forever homes safe and sound. 🐔🐕
So I wrap each Rock Dog and animal with lots and lots of paper and bubble wrap so every piece is nice and snug in the shipping box.
~
A Certificate of Adoption for the fridge and a Rock Dogs sticker is included with every clay pet too.
~
Free shipping for all U.S. orders!
