Inspired by Clay: Smagulova and Ether

I've spent the last few weeks completely absorbed in the ceramic art and pottery of Karina Smagulova and Julia Ether. I've become obsessed with ceramics, which has even inspired me to dream up a line of clay earrings for Maris.

I have already begun to sketch prototypes. While I have zero drawing talent, I am adept at partnering ChatGPT with my imagination. I currently have four distinct earring designs that, for the moment, exist solely in my dreams.

Beyond the jewelry, I have also decided to make the protagonist of my next novel a ceramicist.

I guess this is where art and life beautifully converge.

Below are images and video of Smagulova and Ether—two goddesses.
