In my second year of potting, I am trying to repeat pieces that were somewhat successful. After a couple of missteps, I was able to remake my #midcentury style vase - this time in Blue Yonder.

Ollas drying in the sun. The funny pointy ones are upside down. Those are for houseplants—a new design.
Most of my houseplants are low maintenance (different types of pothos & succulents) but I have a couple that start to give up the ghost whenever they’re just the slightest bit thirsty. Those dramatic plants that droop and wilt when they’ve only been dry for like one day? That’s who the houseplant ollas are for. #OllasByOsa
#Clay is so common, I can't believe I took no notice of it for most of my life. As soon as I learned it was abundant in the landscape, I just started seeing it everywhere. "Earthen Rainbow: Working with #WildClay Terra Sigillata at Midrange" is a #zine I wrote describing this experience of connecting with the land and how it's inspired my studio practice. It's also a guide for other clay artists, with technical tips and recipes.
I found this gorgeous beaded appliqué in one of the trimming stores in the #losangeles #fabric district and raised my self-imposed limit of $5 per item to $7. Here it is in its first two iterations. They look great, but the rough surface restricts them to fruit bowl or ritual use.
Glazed and ready for a new home!
