i appreciate this video so much. the animal pots are super cute, but nobody can make the same thing forever, and you've certainly devoted a fair part of your life to them. thank you for sharing your journey with us!!
I'm an older ex ceramicist and although I've not followed you this video came up thanks to the algorithm.
Your current work is beautiful. I checked out your old videos to see what you're referring to.
Based on what I saw I'd not have expected a fine art direction like this. This work is bold and unique and I'd gladly own a piece. We all start somewhere and evolve, and your choice to focus on your new direction and let go of being a "youtube potter" to me signals great things to come and that you are serious about your art, not primarily in production/sales.
If you want to be an artist (and not all potters do or are which is fine) it's the only right move. This work is both strong and sensitive and it's a path you don't want regular ongoing commentary and influence by a crowd to interfere with. It's perhaps lonely making art, but that's not necessarily a bad thing at all. Alone work doesn't have to mean feeling lonely doing it. I think it's the reverse, and often young artists needing social media constantly are struggling more with loneliness and need for validation or motivation or focus, not yet comfortable in the company of the work itself and the silent knowing, so it holds them back from the work of the artist.
One look at your work and it's clear to me you evolved, have alot of talent, and should trust your inner voice and go wherever new direction it tells you.
I wish you much success in your artistic endeavors and will be happy to see your work irl at some point.
Godspeed! ❤️
Wise words :) we evolve as creative beings throughout our life and we are never to old to learn and take on different challenges, I started off wanting to study fine arts but studied jewellery part time instead, I then played with multi media because I’ve never found one medium that has become a career or captured my passion sufficiently. I just enjoy variety. My next challenge is working with larger 3d sculptures in porcelain paper.
I love watching other peoples process with their art it’s inspiring.
Just from the first glimpses of this video I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE NEW STYLE!! To allow yourself to continue to grow despite what others may expect is so brave and courageous, may success and love for making always be with you.
Although I'm heartbroken about there being no more animal ceramic commissions, I completely understand why you're leaving it all behind. It strongly reminded me of my own dilemmas in life where I'm stuck at a job that's not helping me expand on my skills and it's been eating me alive. Unfortunately, I'm not as lucky as you are and I'm unable to quit due to the financial strains I have. Everyone is swimming in that vast ocean you had mentioned and we are all trying to reach a pinnacle of happiness/creativity/motivation. I'm just glad you're doing something you love and that this new chapter will open new opportunities for you. Thank you, Amii, for sharing your beautiful art! It has been a wonderful adventure following you on this creative journey 🙂
The honesty about changing and evolving as an artist is so appreciated. I don’t even know if it’s lucrative or possible, but maybe you could sell your designs to a company that will make them if people are still asking for them? That way people can have the designs/products they want and you still get to follow your instincts about your art.
Either way it’s a joy to see your creative process 🙏🙏🙏
I love her animal pot designs but I think there's a quality of handmade items that just can't be mass produced and I don't think it would be the same 😞
@@thebigcanoftuna yeah for sure I agree
Her animal pots inspired me to learn pottery because I’ve always hated how normal pots look and hers were just so cute, I’m gonna make my own cute animal pots inspired by her old style :)
It’s kinda heartbreaking to see that they’ll be gone forever but I def support her in whatever she’ll do next
@@froggy5748 may I take a look at your work?
I agree! The newly deigned pots are definitely works of art!!! Like wtf they really gorgeous and could pass for art displayed in an art gallery/museum
I did prefer your animal pots more BUT as an artist too I can understand how they were restricting for your skills and gallery, plus your new works look just as unique as they did but in a different style and time. It's not fair on the artist to be forced to make their past works, people can work out how to make the animals themselves to be honest, that's what I did due to not having the money to afford the ones I wanted from you that were around 200+ dollars.
Me too it's sad because i wanted to purchase the animal pota but couldnt afford them during that time so now i cant buy them. It's her craft tho so i understand
@@wims_diary yeah I get that completely
aw I missed out on your sales of the animal pots because I couldn't purchase at the time and so this news update is exciting and sad at the same for me 😅
but I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying creating and growing in art so I'll be excited to see future creations as I lurk
I am so glad that you took time for yourself and figured out what you wanted to create. I’m so excited to see what you make next!
Each animal pot you made has a priceless value to them. And now, each new vase, bowl, is equally priceless. Seeing all the love you put into both warms my heart. Keep it up!! The animals are grateful!
When I first saw your new pieces on insta it took some time for me to realize it was you. I was struck by the earthy and natural appearance, I thought "damn these pots are so well made they look like mother nature created them herself". I love the animal pots and they were the reason I first followed you, but I'm glad you found a new way of expressing yourself, growing and exploring and I 100% support you. The new techniques, materials and shapes are breathtaking. And you, taking time to listen to yourself, are an inspiration. Keep up with your beautiful work!
I would love to see you make any kind of ceramics - i just found your channel and I love it! you are a beautiful artist and can’t wait to see what you make ❤ keep going and never stop growing ♾
Congratulations for your exhibition. God bless your new art. Thanks
I must admit it was so surprising to see you change your style but in the coolest, most awestruck way. I thought you were very talented before but this unleashed, raw aesthetic art is absolutely beautiful as well. I am inspired by you.
I get it In a sense, the older I get my interests change & the way I view things and how I perceive things also change
The raw honesty that you presented in this video feels like such a breath of fresh air for me! I have been struggling to create how I used to recently, and it is just as how you stated. You need to be honest about your feelings in order to create. I have lost passion for what I used to create, and now need to venture to find what will inspire me to create again! Although your past work is some of my most favorite art work, I cannot wait to see how your newer work develops!
I love the organic appeal to your current pieces. I imagine myself walking through the forest and just stumbling upon these pieces naturally. Beautiful!
I've been watching you from day 1 and this news shocked me. The amount of emotions you put on every pot and videos here is what makes me follow you. I'm so proud of your journey, amii ❤️
Even though your art looks different now, it’s still beautiful! Just in a different way. And I am happy to know you are following your needs, listening to your guts and pouring your art ❤ love the new Amii ceramics as I loved it’s previous phases. Wishing you all the best and will be coming back to enjoy your essence in art form, whenever you feel like sharing it with us 😘
I love this new direction you're heading in! Especially the 'ice cream' pieces, the movement in the lines are wonderful. Would love to see how you create that pockmarked texture in a future video.
So glad to see everyone agreeing in comments, we all want to see you feel fulfilled as an artist rather than stick to what's comfortable because it's popular. Looking forward to seeing what you do next, whenever you'd like to show us!
I'm grateful for the animal pots, that they led me to you, and now I can continue to follow your artistic journey. These new pieces are exquisite, and I can't wait to see where you go from here. Thank you for sharing.
It kinda brought tears to my eyes seeing you be brave enough to move on and do what you love. ❤️
this is beautiful. thank you for sharing your story. its very inspiring to hear a skillful person discuss how they recalibrate towards their own path of betterment. your passion is shining in those pieces! :)
You have a very unique style. Really appreciate it.
I totally agree with you Ami. So proud of how far you've come! Your new pots are absolutely so STUNNING. I can see the same growth in myself as an artist too. I saved money from doing picture books for clients this year, but have spent the past few months living on the savings from that as I developed my own books which are currently out on submission thanks to my agent :)
As artists, I think we develop and grow by doing what is appealing and sells well (really glad the animal pots gave you savings too!) But we have a need to keep developing our creative practice and pushing ourselves to see what else we can achieve.. For me, this is the mark of a "true artist" - someone who is not just making what sells well for money (although that is great and we all do it bc we need money!!) but someone who is driven most strongly by their true love for their practice 😊 Will support you no matter what, Ami ! God bless, my fellow creative 🙏🏾
I also love your confession of faith and words about your source of inspiration from God. Inspiration is everything and I wonder if consumers actually realise what is driving creatives to create what they do... I find this inspiration so necessary as well in my line of art and authorship, so it's encouraging to hear I'm not alone in needing time out of social media to focus on seeking godly inspiration for my graphic novels and picture books :) I love it when dots connect and know that people reading my books in the same 'spirit' will be able to read between the lines ❤️
Just wonderful! I love your new direction. Wishing you happiness and prosperity. Will be waiting for your next video!
The garden of Eden collection looks so beautiful it is an inspiring artwork to look at. I look forward to your future of creating under your own terms. I will miss the animal pots but thats okay the videos are there to rewatch:) if I had the money and they were on sale I would be so honoured to buy a pot from your garden of Eden collection they are just so beautiful 😍
ohhhh girl i am so happy that you've moved onto these art pieces. the animal pots were a great stepping stone to use to propel yourself even higher and the techniques you've learned thru the years are shining thru so obviously with these new pieces. like... hot damn are they breathtaking and i would love to own one eventually.
So amazing that you followed your heart ❤
This new style is crazy awesome! It reminds me of natural objects (shells, pine cones, starfishes, etc) and that, to me, is very soulful and would be so pretty in a home
You have grown and it is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, it gives us courage to further pursue our endeavors, thank you so much! 💖
WOW! The new work is amazing!!👍👍👍❤❤❤
Wow these looks so good and very original. 💞
I am so IN LOVE with this new style of yours!!! The texture and the movement within it is so mesmerizing and considering how much effort it took to make the piece just makes me see it in an even more beautiful light
I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to see what other styles you will be showing in the future!
I discovered your animal planters last year and I saved up to order at least one. Then this... you shattered my dream.
I love you new style and much as the old! I understand and you need to do what best for you as an artist! A new season has arrived and God will guide you through! ❤
Absolutely beautiful direction. I'm so glad you're doing okay. Thank you for sharing your beauty with us.
This was really beautiful, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I wish you all the best going forward.
Oh my gosh you need not have any fears these are STUNNINGLY beautiful! We are here to revolve and grow and explore in this experience of life, good for you for allowing yourself to do so!❤
I'm so sad that I wasn't able to get an animal pot, lucky for the people who have gotten them before they're gone. But I appreciate the video and I'm glad you found another thing to explore to enhance your creativity.
I kind of relate to that feeling of something that once usss to feel enjoyable and inspiring becoming mechanical and stressful. I love your new art works! The organic style and uniqueness of each piece is refreshing!! And as a subscriber I love seeing the evolution of the creatives I follow. 🥰 The fact that you share will everyone is really generous and cool. 😊 Looking forward to catching up with all your newer videos!
What a blessing that you were able to take the time to switch gears like that and move in a totally new and beautiful direction. Absolutely stunning new pieces. I’m very happy for you!
This video brought tears to my eyes.. a new life , a new chapter to write!
pieces perfect bless your effort
just beautiful.
I am truly obsessed with this evolution of your work, the animal pots were iconic, but these are just ethereal and SO SO STUNNING! Wishing you so much joy with your work going forward!!!
What a great artist 😭😭🫂💌
Oh wow, your new work is so beautiful!!! It looks like something in between man-made and organically grown, and it is a joy to look at. You've moved straight into making full on art. 😊I do hope you keep sharing your work on UA-cam, especially the wonderful new things you are making!
I'm so excited for this new direction! Thank you for sharing the next leg of your journey

The title made me tear up… I will miss them 😢❤
You're so talented! Beautiful shapes! ♡
amii🙋♂️ i really really love ur changes of ur style, its so refreshing and give me an instant tranquility (idk if that make sense) ur new style really bring a whole serene vibes to life🧚♂️ but i also think mixing both of ur old and new style gonna be so wonderful💫 imagine that ur new style with a hint of cute animal accent (maybe cat ear, a beak, or lil cute eyes) that sounds great for me🙇♂️ ur art piece never fails me🙏🥺
Your new work is beautiful. I think it’s great when we figure out when it is time to move on to something new.
I looove this new style you are exploring! Thank you for sharing and I hope you keep sharing your process
I found you through your new work rather than your old work! Please keep going I am loving what you're doing!
Those who were able to own your previous designs are very lucky to have that part of your journey. I'm sad that I didn't get the chance. But least I would admire it on UA-cam and also admire your forever shifting journey
This video made me emotional ❤️ your animal pots and illustrations were so lovely and I loved seeing how you made them in your weekly uploads but there is a time and season for everything. Your new works show another side of you. It’s great to see your growth as an artist, to see you experiment and pushing the boundaries of your creativity. Keep going Amii! They are simply stunning xx
i loved all the pieces you showed in this video, some of them looked like corals
I love this new direction!
Wow! Your new pots are super stunning. They look in movement. I love it!!
I love the music!
The new pieces are beautiful!
Astonishing! Appreciate for stepping outside of your comfort zone and going beyond to explore new ideas. Every single piece is a beautiful form and elegant presentation by itself. Thank you for inspiring me.
wow this really touched me. i have a few pieces from when you branched out initially from the animal pots that i adore, and i always planned to get an animal pot; but your new work! its so alive, it calls to me i'm so so moved looking at these pieces they feel so alive and beautiful to me in a way i didn't expect. i feel like..idk how to describe it, but the perfection and detail of the animal pots led me to believe i couldn't be this moved, but i feel your spirit and a vulnerable and joyful honesty in these pieces that makes me want to display them quietly, to wake up and speak to them in my heart, to watch how light and movement moves through them in the course of a day. thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!
ami, your art is beautiful and breathtaking. thank you for pushing through to be sincere and genuine to yourself.
I am so proud of you and your new path! I am loving the sculptural feel off these new pieces. Keep striving and pushing yourself. I can't wait to see what you do next!!
I love your work. You are a true artist.
i've never seen your videos before so i don't much care for animal pots, but these new works you show are amazing and so very beautiful! i love the texture of every piece, it's magic. i wish you best of luck on your creative journey!
Your new pieces are so beautiful! They inspire me to go draw right now! Your new style is wonderful! No one expects you to stay with same style forever, all artist evolve and change over their life time. I look forward to seeing what ever beautiful pieces you decide to create!
Amii God is with you. He will always be with you.Your new ceramics are beautifully organic.
congratulations on continuing to find yourself! I'm really proud of you and know you will continue to succeed!
These are all very unique and beautiful. I'm happy for you!!
This is so beautiful, I can see the inspiration behind. This new pieces have a deeply connection to nature and emotions. 🥺
These are so beautiful!! Love watching your evolution
The pieces you make now are so beautiful! Constructed with purpose, can’t wait to buy one when I get the chance!
I honestly started following you for the overall chill vibe and it’s why I continue to stick around. You do you❤
This was Such a huge Step for you! watching your animal pot creations had let me dive in deep on ceramics and knowing more art mediums as I went in. Moving forward to be more free on yourself as well prioritizing what you really wanted to do has inspired me a lot as a growing artist
I can't wait to see more of your creations
I have never seen your channel before and onl stumbled on it today. Yet the things you have said, the thoughts expressed about your art journey have hit home… so hard! I am spurred on to do only that which is true to my own heart. Thank you for sharing this, I need to be reminded of the scripture and the heart of what you say and will now move forward. This was so timely. Blessings!
Wow, that Garden of Eden pot is so... beautiful...!! They are all so beautiful 🤩
Fascinating
I love this, and I'm so excited for your new adventure in ceramics! Can't wait to see more, but I will be patient!
So inspiring! I love seeing how your work has evolved and changed.
Your new forms are so beautiful!
I adore where your art is going! 🖤
The texture in these works is sooo great, would love to see how you did it
Stunning! Absolutely gorgeous!!
The way this video is so simple yet is filled with emotions and meanings is amazing. Your pieces are amzing and I hope you don't stop doing what you love! ❤
I'm so happy to see you doing something you love and not letting the expectations of others lock you into one area of your creativity, skill, and expertise. I actually think looking back at your older videos and animal pots knowing you are no longer pursuing, makes it all the more special as it was a step in your journey and truly a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork in this world. Look after yourself and I look forward to your next video :)
I really love your new work and direction. I'm new to your channel and art but I really appreciate the discussion on artistic expression and authenticity. Thank you.
I also somehow feel like trapped in a loop and probably because I sort of "feel improved" in an area. And decided to try out something new like new art medium but fearful that others may not accept my change. Thanks for being honest and came up strong about your own creativity journey😊
I just found this video and your channel today and subscribed, even though you may not upload often.
I can totally relate to changing, as an artist. We must grow, and we must evolve, outside of art as well, to satisfy our creative spirit and ever-changing thoughts and processes. Your new work is beautifully organic and evocative of textures and shapes of nature. It’s good to appreciate the natural things of this world; plants, animals, mountains, trees, oceans, fish, insects, etc., as when we truly appreciate them, we will not take advantage of them, but nurture and protect them.
At first I was a bit shocked reading that you wouldn’t do animal pots anymore, but your new works resonate with me way more than your old ones. The animals were cute, but I would have never bought one. But these? Well, if I had the money…
They kind of remind me of the ocean. Beautiful.
yes I agree. I loved watching her videos because of how naturally she worked with the clay. It's always nice watching someone who has mastered their craft at work.
I think these pieces reflect even more how well she understands the medium, and showcase her skill better.
Thank you Ami for sharing your beautiful art with us. I have been here for a long time and I can't wait to see what's next. I'm rooting for you
i miss this channel, pls comeback 😔
Wow, your work is beautiful! The forms and textures are magical. Looking forward to seeing more of your new work. :) Congrats on your artistic liberation.
Thank you for your videos, your work, your sharing with us! It is really amazing that money from animal pots are still help you so much, but im also glad for you that you let them go 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 your new style is so unique and simple!!!!!!!!
I always loved seeing your attention to detail and how well you worked with the clay. I would continue to watch regardless of what you are making.
The animal pots were cute but not really something I would purchase for myself. I'm loving the new direction of your work even more personally. I'm very excited to see more of it :)
That was overdue! Happy for you, the pottery you created here is really stunning.
Thank you for sharing.
