5 out of 5 starsWow, beautiful button! Such an amazing design! My spouse would like to know if you'd make it as a decal/sticker to put on our car? We are long-time squirrel lovers and have even rescued, raised, and released several abandoned or injured Eastern & Western Greys (many of whom come back every day to visit us and have for years!). They are such majestic animals and we wish everyone could see that. It wasn't always the case for us though...till we rescued this little guy, our first squirrel rescue...his name is Albert and we rescued him 6 years ago when his mother was killed by a reckless driver. He still comes by our house for a pecan (or two, or three...) almost every single day!
Thank you for the FAST shipping and the freebies are awesome too! Will definitely be back again & please...consider the decal idea ;-)
Cheers! -

Surly-Ramics How it Began
I first began working in clay by helping my mother, Charlene. At the time, my mother had a small home business that made porcelain awards for horse shows. I was very influenced by her work even though I probably didn't know it early on. Her highly detailed work has without a doubt influenced my artwork today.
As a young woman I opened an art gallery in North Hollywood, California. During the time I had the gallery I began making and selling small ceramic necklaces. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to run an art gallery and after a short stint and an unfortunate series of events, I ended up literally bankrupt. I had no car and no place to live. I had failed.I got very depressed and I stopped making art.
A year or so passed by.
Then, I got a job as a waitress to try to start saving money to start my life over. I remembered how much I enjoyed making the ceramic jewelry in my mother's studio so I started making necklaces and wearing them into work. I had moved into a tiny one-room apartment and I didn't have any space to create. The necklaces were small and I could make them in my mother's backyard ceramic studio. It was perfect. It was during the same time period that I started learning about science and a few months later I found out about the skeptical community. During this educational period in my life I was able to find something that my artwork had been lacking, a purpose and a message.
At work, people fell in love with the jewelry. I had people buy them right off my neck! I literally couldn’t make them fast enough. Surly-Ramics was born! Within a few months I had started a new business, one that championed nature and critical thinking and I no longer needed to wait tables.
I got a second chance.
I now work as an artist fulltime. I design jewelry that advocates education and science and celebrates nature. I have a Patreon where I create art that is inspired by science and I enlist the help of actual scientists and science communicators to fact check my work and help me to explain the science that inspires my work. You can find me there at Patreon.com/surlyamy I create weekly drawings for my patrons to download and print or color.
Together, through a love of art and science, we CAN make the world a better place.
