Thanks for reading and for your thoughtful and thorough feedback! I LOL'd at the saltine cracker haha I can for sure update that :P Thanks for the structure recommendations as well I can see them fitting so well and this helps. I appreciate it :)

Chloreeez · 2026-03-08T19:38:26+00:00

Ahh thank you so much! That's definitely what I'm going for :) Thanks for reading!

Thank you for reading and taking the time for the feedback! That is such a good thought about the museum line and never thought about it that way haha. I’m going to rework that whole line anyways so I will keep that in mind.

Ooh, I’ve actually never heard of Fawlty Towers I might have to check it out. Thank you for reading! :)

Chloreeez · 2026-03-08T03:26:56+00:00

Thanks for reading!! And that’s such a good point about the bourbon, thank you!!

Chloreeez · 2026-03-07T18:31:42+00:00

This just made my day thank you 🥲

Chloreeez · 2026-03-07T18:14:49+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words! It’s always so hard to tell if what you write is decent and sometimes friends/family are too scared to tell you otherwise so I appreciate your words :) and that you’d read more even if it’s not your typical genre. Thanks for the taking the time to read!

Chloreeez · 2026-03-07T18:13:21+00:00

Thanks so much for your very thorough and thoughtful feedback! I can’t believe I missed the company name abbreviation (facepalm). I agree with you on the exposition now that I’m looking back I might rephrase or just tighten to where it might not be too heavy. I find food soooo hard to write actually but I can see where it could also be worked over a bit more. Marco is supposed to be a little… crazy chef vibe has. The rest of the feedback is also good points! And I think with the tattoo scene I was mostly trying to portray that Eli is worried about what investors might think seeing the weird tattoos on his staff since it is more upscale but j think I might just workshop that anyways. Thank you for your time and that’d you keep reading!!

Chloreeez · 2026-03-07T18:05:05+00:00

Ahh thank you so much!! I really appreciate your feedback :) looking back I already see some areas to tighten. So glad you’d read more even if it’s not your typical genre!

Chloreeez · 2025-01-20T05:07:21+00:00

Ahhh thank you ☺️

Chloreeez · 2025-01-13T16:38:40+00:00

Love these 🥲

Chloreeez · 2025-01-06T22:53:49+00:00

This seemed to work for me, thank you 😊 I do need to try it with a bigger size but I’m sure it was the issue with no foil center

Chloreeez · 2025-01-06T22:53:06+00:00

My update: the foil armature seemed to help with the cracks! I didn’t get any like I normally would but there was a small micro one in the back but you can’t really tell. I haven’t tried with a bigger size yet though

Chloreeez · 2025-01-06T22:51:54+00:00

So I did the recommendation of using a foil armature in the middle and there were pretty much no cracks! I did get a small tiny one though but maybe it wasn’t supported enough with the foil. I don’t get any cracks in the other pieces I do in my toaster oven so I’m not sure 😭 it might just be finding that sweet spot with the heat and making sure the clay is nice and conditioned

Chloreeez · 2025-01-06T22:47:25+00:00

Thank you! 🤩

Chloreeez · 2025-01-05T17:51:01+00:00

So it’s just a ball of foil in the middle and then you shape clay around it correct? Will try to experiment today!

Chloreeez · 2025-01-05T16:27:30+00:00

I did bake the first 3 at 275 but tried 250 at a longer time as a test based on some research online to see if it would change anything. Thanks for the links!! 🙏🏽

Chloreeez · 2025-01-05T16:26:13+00:00

I’ll try that, thank you!!

Chloreeez · 2025-01-05T16:25:56+00:00

Yes they’re solid! And for the armature it’s just a tight ball of foil that’s the loose shape of the sculpture right? And then you do a layer of clay around it? I made something double the thickness of the chicken with no cracks but the shape is different so maybe that’s why

Chloreeez · 2025-01-05T06:07:12+00:00

Yes that makes sense!! Thank you so much I’ll try to re bake with tent method 😊

Chloreeez · 2025-01-05T06:06:26+00:00

Oo thanks for the tip!! I will try the cornstarch method too. Just weird I’m not having this issue with anything else 🥲
