Manuel, please call him Mannie, Manuel is his dad…has been with Steph for eight years. Eight. The math is not complicated. The feelings are not in question. Steph is, by all available evidence, wonderful. Mannie knows this. Mannie will tell you this unprompted, at length, with genuine conviction. And yet. His friends have stopped asking. His family has stopped hinting. Steph, to her considerable credit, has not stopped waiting … though her patience has developed a very specific look that Mannie absolutely recognizes and chooses not to examine too closely. The clock is ticking.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

One of a kind scary monster sculpture made with cone 6 white stoneware clay. Scary monsters are made from slabs of clay that are pushed and manipulated into their monster shapes. They are all fired in a kiln for 3 firings (thats 3 trips into the abyss of 2000+ degrees) depending on the final finish.
