updated: 1 March 2026 (wet, southerlies in Wellington at 8pm but we had a lovely sunny albeit slightly breezy day earlier) ## Tiny pottery My latest obsession is making tiny things. I have been making tiny vases as fridge magnets and tiny mugs as keyrings or bag charms. Here are some of the tiny mugs with a full sized one for comparison: ![[Tiny Mugs.jpeg]] ## Going to markets I'm always changing up how I setup my things at markets. I'm very pleased with this current setup. While it doesn't look like there are any less items on my table, I only had two things to carry: an IKEA bag and a crate on wheels. I admit that as I get older, I need to be mindful of what I'm expecting my body to do. ![[Going to market.png]] ![[ACM 1 March.jpeg]] ## I have a mascot! I commissioned my talented daughter to design me a mascot. I wanted something that was Japanese inspired and asked her to draw a Tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog). The little guy is holding one of my mugs from the sunset collection. I have incorporated her design on my signage and packaging. I have even ordered stickers and epoxy keychains that I am planning to either sell as merchandise or use as giveaways at markets. This is her design: ![[PBL Tanuki 1.png]] ## now archives [[2026-02-23]] [[2026-01-29]] [[2026-01-03]] [[2025-10-10]] [[2025-09-08]] [[2025-08-16]] [[2025-06-27]] [[2025-06-16]] [[2025-05-09]] [[2025-04-02]] [[2025-03-09]]
