I’m really unsure. I’ve got time to mull it over. Don’t want to lose detail. Maybe some sort of an underglaze wash on the octopus with a nice contrasting glaze everywhere else…also, I need to move the eyes down lol. I put them too high.

Love these! 😍 if you don’t mind me asking, what is the name of this glaze? Folks in my community studio would love it!

Oh I’m so sorry 💔 It hurts so much to lose family.

Yes! It was SUCH a lovely place to hang (and get paid!) for two days a week. So many nice, curious people to chat with, the awesome view. And the clouds! Hopefully the trees survive another summer. Lots of good memories 🙂

Ha! That’s my coworker sittting in the chair behind the tree. I am the watercraft inspection steward on his off days. Sad fact about that stand of pines - they were struck by lightening this past June and are starting to die 😞 They are awesome shade trees by the water.

Oy. I laughed a bit too hard at this.

I dunno, looks to me like the main character of a children’s book waiting to be written. That critter has been through some things!

I think I’ll be making a point of using Apple Maps from now on. Ugh.

I don’t feel bad James. Elon won’t care at all. He a sociopath. He would much rather shove a stick in an ant hill and watch the chaos he created without giving a fig about how he may have angered or hurt the ants. But that begs the question - why subject myself to that when there are better options?

AND I would say that the above screenshot is case in point. An attempt to make us feel bad about choosing to leave. #sourgrapes

For me it was about leaving an unhealthy codependent relationship. It was hard to leave both Twitter and Meta and I think it’s important to ask why it was so hard when both entities spent much time directing me to unhealthy or unwanted, catastrophic thinking. Life has been better without them.

I’ve only worked with one batch of raku clay. I assume there are different types/brands? The raku clay I worked with was heavy with the softest, stiffest slip I’ve ever experienced and was quite easy on the hands. We have a brown clay that murders my hands every time.

Those are two very fun glazes! Any possibility the bisque fire was a different temp than usual? Wondering if the clay bodies had more off gassing to do. We seem to have fewer problems like that when bisque firing to 04 instead of 06.

I know you aren’t from the US. I’m tired of the “do something” crowd speaking up without offering anything of substance. You have some constructive suggestions for how to change our current situation, I’m all ears. Otherwise why say anything at all?

What actions are you referring to?

Open to suggestions. The only thing I can think of is a collective spending strike. Tighten our belts and refuse to spend.

Thank you! It was a fun little project 🙂

Thanks. From what I’ve need no action has been taken…yet. Maybe it was the timing of your post but it seemed as if you were saying the VA services had been frozen with the Medicaid portals et al. I’m on edge as I’m expecting it to happen at any moment 😞

Where have you seen this? I can’t find anywhere where it says Veteran’s benefits have been stopped. My 95yo Korean War vet FIL is almost penniless and awaiting a decision on his VA pension application. Do you have a link to confirm what you are saying?

Just told my son this same thing when he asked me how I was doing. It’s a good strategy!

Does anyone know what these accounts gain in the longrun? If they aren’t posting anything, and since BlueSky doesn’t have algorithms to drive content…are they not just wasting their time? I guess my real question is can they do harm here? Any ideas?

I did not. I drew it with pencil first, used a heavy fluxing glaze for the diamond pattern and a red glaze over the entire shape. The flux “diamond” dots pushed the red glaze to each dot’s edges. It was an experiment that went wonderfully well. 🙂

I am totally fine with what he did. I’d like him to pardon every single person Trump or his “nominees” have threatened to go after once in office. We’ve got to push back.

Agreed. Would be wonderful to score/win on the front foot for a change.
