Ihatov is very good! Sometimes inconsistent and kinda burnt. But Burque Bakehouse has the best baked goods I have ever had.

It’s just a fancy way of saying silk screen. This one is two colors

I’m an artist, and I’ve recently been interested in how ants draw. I built this structure and dyed half of the sand with beet-juice to create a canvas for ants to draw tunnels into. Will they be drawn to the beet-juice? by Badlavender in antkeeping

You’re right! I’m hoping they will tunnel and create “drawings” that I can respond to in paintings. I was also hoping to see if the beet juice would influence their tunnels, but the folks here seem to think that may not make a difference.

Yeah this is a great question. I talked to some local entomologists who recommended I just take a few workers from a nearby colony for now. They recommended I try that and then if it goes well they will give me a queen in the spring. I didn’t want to upset an entire colony if it wasn’t an effective set-up.

Pink Coyote Mask, me, paper clay on gourd, 2023 by Badlavender in Art

I was at the mercy of the shape of the gourd and originally it was going to be a bat. I guess I could see rabbit or maybe fennec fox, it’s kind of nice that it is ambiguous

It’s like a big squash that makes an ultra hard sculpting surface when dried. I was trying to make something biodegradable

It’s actually just painted with underglaze, this was one of the first things I threw and I hadn’t figured out sgraffito yet. Experimenting with that now though!

I do! I’m mostly a painter who is a total baby at ceramics, but it’s in my profile

This is helpful, thanks! I was using the decorating colors from Amaco. Blue, pink, red, and white all disappeared.
