tulip bunny! I'm just eternally enamored with this design. I already have another one waiting to be fired, and I'm sure I'll have a few more by the time next firing rolls around.

multitudes

[ID: Animated pixel art of a silhouette of a person gently floating up and down on a black background. The silhouette quickly flashes through a series of scenes: a sunrise over some mountains, a highrise building at night with colored lights coming through its windows, delicate purple flowers again a pale purple sky, a single star visible below the rings of a planet, a motherboard, a small town in the distance through a train window, waves crashing against a lighthouse, a bright red moon, northern lights, snowcapped mountains in warm sunlight, triangular warning sign in a desert, a tree at night whose bark pattern resembles eyes, honeycomb, a glowing door, and shattered glass. The second image is all of the scenes arranged in a grid. Both images are signed "Valeria Pyranikova." End ID]

Terracotta Winged Guardian for Creatuanary⁠

⁠I admit I had no idea where to start with this prompt. A winged creature seemed a bit at odds with heavy clay. I thought of sort of ancient sculptures that featured winged lions and landed on this idea. I'm really happy with how it came out (and the little kid likes their friend too! 😄)⁠

Image description: art showing a creature seemingly made out of clay, a person stands next to the creature, they reach up to the creatures knee. The creature has the head of a lion, the front legs of a bird of prey, the hind body of a lion, feathered wings and a long tail with a club at the end. The creature stands on a sand hill. end Image description

seaglass! acrylic on canvas, 2x2 feet, 2025

for those not in the know - this is a painting of my lucky seaglass, which has been put through the wringer recently. for much of last year it had been lost, but i found it eventually! then on new year's, i shattered it by knocking it off of a counter. it's glued back together now and lucky as ever, but i was devastated when i thought i'd ruined it forever, so i decided to paint it (on this huge canvas!) to immortalize it, should anything else happen to it!

[ID from alt: a large acrylic painting depicting a fragment of green seaglass with internal cracks. the cracks separate the color of the glass into bright greens, oranges, blues, and yellows. three sections have circular rippled glass chipping, in multicolor. the background is canvas white.

Here's 1 out of 3 - Chicken of the Woods!

Come see me at VanCAF in May if you like chickens and/or mushrooms. I'll have stickers and postcards and other art toooo

[I.D.: two digital drawings of a chicken made out of chicken of the woods mushrooms. The first is orange, sitting on a mossy log with a dark green background. The second is a black outline, not colored in. The mushrooms are arranged in an overlapping pattern to give the appearance of feathers. End I.D.]
