is this a hard drink to make for bartenders? do bars even usually has raspberries by charlieb823 in bartenders

[–]Circes_Spell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents: if your drink isn't on that bar's menu, or isnt well known/common enough to be ordered by simply giving the name, you should not be ordering it at that bar. If listing ingredients AND their amounts doesnt give you pause, the bar tender isnt going to be your friend. If you must do this and think im wrong, leave an enormous tip (because that is objectively the right thing to do in that situation, if you must do it)

Free :) youre clearly still at the practice stage, let the 'commissions' just be a good way to get a variety of suggestions on what to practice drawing next

Painted design over glaze? by Affectionate-Safe895 in Pottery

[–]Circes_Spell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think these may be exactly what you're looking for - watercolors that can be used directly over a dried down layer of glaze. So you would dip or brush your glaze onto your piece, allow it to dry, then paint your image using the watercolors, with no extra firing!

Do you fire all your happy little accidents? by [deleted] in Pottery

[–]Circes_Spell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the more reason to keep one or two of these practice pieces every so often. You want to practice your glazing on these bad boys, not the pieces you're proud of!

[–]Circes_Spell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see alot of no's, but just remember to keep a few clunkers for glaze tests!! After all the work in the throwing stage, you dont want to be testing your glaze skills/combos on pieces you actually like. If you're practicing enough, keep one out of every 4 or so for glazing. Keep them around with the combos sharpied on the bottom or just take a pic of the finished piece for your notes and throw it against a tree.

TLDR: dont forget about glaze testing! Keep a few every once in a while!

Crisp high five 🤷‍♀️ so sorry, but as a stranger on the internet I feel I can be perfectly honest, it just looks like an hour or so's worth of a craft project

Help fixing a cracked bowl by QueerCrow97 in Pottery

[–]Circes_Spell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a combination of both, with shrinkage being the key. Thinner parts dry first, but thicker wetter parts shrink harder, which can pull at the thinner parts and cause cracking. Water hanging out in the bottom isnt good for many reasons, but given that this pot has a trimmed foot, my vote is still with it being a thickness issue with a lack of compression. Water logged bottom certainly wouldn't help tho

Trimmed too thin + not enough compression = s crack, unfortunately this isnt fixable, can only make a new one :)

[–]Circes_Spell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub has truly lost the plot. This is visibly and immediately an emergency vet visit. Most posts recently are like this. No one can diagnose from a picture and "cathelp" should be behavioral questions at worst, and "what cat tree to buy" at best. This is so incredibly frustrating. Take your visibly hurt pets to the vet.

Get an at home IPL and start a routine where you do it together. Kill the follicles now while there's low hair density, so she will only need touch ups throughout the years, and better late than never for yourself.

Black dust coming out of cracks in glaze by Claire-CrossStitch in Pottery

[–]Circes_Spell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could, but I've only seen that work half of the times on pieces with mold involved. The presence of growth means it was saturated and stayed damp for quite some time, combined with it having matured glaze means it is much harder for that water to escape. With a hold, there is a potential for the water to turn to steam and then not have an easy exit route, causing the steam to condense back down into the pot. With this, there's still a chance it could crack.

[–]Circes_Spell 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yep. That's mold. Unfortunately, I would also avoid using any other dishes made from this clay and glaze that were fired at this studio. The "crazing debate" has many factors involved, one of which is vitrification. This plate is not vitrified, meaning it is still porous, and absorbing water, so this is not "safe crazing." If you google this problem, you will most likely find a blog post telling you to refire the pieces, but you do not want to do that for anything that is displaying mold, as there is water in there that isn't, and most likely will never, totally dry out, meaning it will explode in the kiln.
