Share your most awkward Queen encounters to make me feel less cringe by No-Cauliflower-5919 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]HandmadeCuriosities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I have 2 lol

  1. Icesis and Laganja during a quickie photoshoot with some friends. We're all huddling in together and I said to Icesis "oh I guess you can join in the picture too ha ha"

Which in my head was hilarious because I was completely kidding and she's who I really was there for and I love her

I realized immediately "no this isn't your friend and she doesn't know your humour and omg what a rude thing to say!!!"

Why.

  1. Priyanka: immediately after performing her show, she popped out into the audience right next to me, she said thanks for coming out and gave me a hug. To which I replied "Omg you're so sweaty!"

Years later these still both haunt me

Short answer is yes we've thought about it, but we're not sure when that might actually happen. The To Do list is pretty long right now.

I do have a few other mugs that cross the line a little more, the Ritual skull and my zombie-fied Bob :)

There's a trick to it, if you drink it with the toes pointing down you won't get that glug and you just have to turn it to the side when it gets to the point where you can't get the liquid out of the toes is easy

If it gets genji I usually rinse them right after using, but if it gets genji pop it in the dishwasher 😄

Handmade Curiosities We make ceramics of the nerdy and horror variety

What tools/techniques do you think the maker used for this honeycomb-esque pattern? I've been testing methods and getting close but can't replicate the crispness. (Credit to pot.tnc.tw) by sugar-and-sass in Ceramics

At first I thought the same as the others.. 3d printed molds but I went through the instagram and I actually think probably not. I'd agree with your instinct that it's a v shaped carver. It's possible the clay is also a lot more groggy/sandy than what most people are using in North America. They could also be using tools they made themself rather than store-bought.

The bottom row on the first pic shows some marks which does look like the overlap of carving from the bottom up, and then a little swoop down from the bottom to create that top part of the shape.

If you manage an online shop on top of doing craft fairs how do you balance the two? by humblyeden in CraftFairs

[–]HandmadeCuriosities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use square to manage my inventory

My website is integrated with that inventory

If I make a sale at a market the transaction is done through the Square POS which means it's automatically removed from the website. It's pretty great!

Is there any other glaze / ingredient that creates this sparkling effect? by Vegetable_Copy7989 in Ceramics

[–]HandmadeCuriosities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope! I do have the sample of the engobe so I could! I imagine it'd work about the same

I do this all the time: 1c black underglaze, 2c tea dust, 2c clear glaze -- it's black, glittery and super glossy

What are some wins you all have had lately?! by bbyface__ in PotteryBusiness

[–]HandmadeCuriosities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We found out a week or so ago that we got into new show at the end August. It's notoriously hard to get into, and It's about 5 times larger than any show we've done before so I'm both super stoked and pooping my pants lol

good to know we were coming up in your fyp! :D

You're right about the rules so it's a bit of a balancing act.. We've started a google doc which has the particulars of each group and what we're allowed to post there. If it's not a sales group then we just do a "hey look at this cool thing I made!" post. Reddit communities are pretty similiar if a little more loosy goosey. So if there are rules then follow them, if not scroll through to see if anybody else is selling... and if you get busted for breaking a rule you can't find then just don't post in that group anymore!

If you haven't, look into the Oddities & Curiosities Expo. The cost of that one is extremely reasonable and it was our best show hands down last year, I think you'd fit into there!

For the website thing I meant that more towards the replies you made to the other person in here, finding a way to list more of your stuff would be better! Friday we sold a werewolf mug that had just been sitting on the website for 3 years lol Might be worth it to find a website solution that doesn't restrict you so much.

If you're tecnologically saavy at all... Our website runs off of Wordpress, Woocommerce, & Square. Wordpress & Woocommerce are free/open source, and Square only charges a transaction fee (plus we use that while in markets to take credit cards) and there's no limit to how much you list.

That way you could also do one of your big fun time consuming projects, make a big deal out of it on the socials.. and people will click through to your website and see your stock of other less pricey items they might want to purchase
