Okay, so all those t-rex puns from yesterday's drawing gave me the idea for this... Tea-Rex!
Wanted to make some new labels for our tea caddies and I'm pretty happy with the results. Even though our cat Jiji tried to sabotage me with his cuteness. First time I see a cat try to unscrew a lightbulb. I'm posting the scan of it if anyone wants to use them for their teas.

Those entrusted with safeguarding the Japanese tea ceremony see the global matcha craze not as a threat, but as a rare opportunity to share the deeper meaning and values of tea culture with the world. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/02/japan/society/tea-ceremony-matcha/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #matcha #food #tea #tourism
I FINALLY got around to decorating and firing some of the lidded tea bowls that I made a few months ago.
Here's one of my favorites: a bunny with radishes
if you want to see them all, I shared photos in my website's latest blog post

I'm wrapping up a wonderful visit to #Canada (my first time here!)
I'll have more to say about how inspirational I found the people and culture to be, but for now, here's a peek at the demo piece I left at the studio for my new Canadian friends to enjoy.
I call it Geese and Peace

Shizuoka’s traditional method of tea farming is sustainable, makes tea taste better and helps with biodiversity. But it’s also labor-intensive and the number of practitioners is dwindling. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/09/07/sustainability/shizuoka-tea-farming-chagusaba/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #shizuoka #agriculture #tea #aging #chagusaba

What I learned from this video is that Tea is the #3 app in the US right now – mere days after a giant privacy leak scandal! And I keep having to learn just how true the old adage "all pr is good pr" really is...

Morning Twters!
Sorry I've been so quiet, I've been mostly unplugged from life, and resting at my sister's. Been drinking my lovely #DnD #tea (link below - the Coven's Comfort is a wonderful morning brew!) and cooking and generally having a lovely time. Will be sad to leave, but after a panic about the August bank holiday (which is a week earlier than I thought it was!) I'll be headed almost straight to my brother's to house and kitten sit for them for a week!
😘
