Patina, permanence, and the passage of time.
It’s…not the best. But it *is* borderline hilarious.

Despite the fact that I think these tiles are truly a mess, I think the final product will be much more successful. I was testing 1, 3, and 5 coats of TS (top to bottom), and skipped burnishing to see how necessary it would be. Turns out, the answer is “very.”

I’d love to see them! My favorite part about this platform (so far) is that it’s so community-focused. So anything to keep that going is appreciated!

Definitely - already have you on the list!

Leonard Koren. He has a few other books too, but this is the only one I’ve read so far.

That texture and overlap is 👌. So good.

With life being so overwhelming lately, my friends and I have taken to sending each other pictures of frogs in hats. So this is kind of perfect for stress relief on my end.

I’m definitely working on it. I also do work in dyed porcelain, but it doesn’t quite mesh with what I’ve got going on now. I’m also trying to formulate my own porcelain clay body, but that’s a looooong road.

Translucent porcelain is so beautiful. I’m still trying to figure out how to marry it with my current work. It’s a finicky clay body, but when it works, it really works.

And I 100% agree about the lack of algorithms. Bluesky already feels like much more of a community.

Thank you! This is just before the terra sig layers. I honestly debated putting any on at all since I liked these so much.
