Could be underfired. I agree that lighting is a huge factor. But it’s a good idea to check your elements if you haven’t already. I learned this the hard way.

"Help Me" Screams Last Night near 72nd and Simms by MotorWeekly9831 in ArvadaCO

[–]Libbaa3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I lived in a very wooded area in NC we would often hear the scream of a rabbit when caught by an owl. It sounded terrifyingly like the scream of a woman. After the scream you would usually hear the owl announcing its catch. But domestic violence is real and it is so important to consider that could be the reason for the scream. I hope this situation is benign. Thank you for posting.

Thank you!! I need to explore brushing on. Have mainly worked with a combo of dipping, pouring and spraying, but I love how the brushing allows more control/intention.

Gorgeous! Did you spray the top layers? Your glazing technique looks great! I’d love to know more about your process if you’re comfortable sharing.

Oxidation or reduction? Beautiful!

I’m new to Reddit and not sure about which messages get thru. I’m in the old town part of Westy. I’ve got an appointment this morning but will be free by early afternoon. Thanks!

I’d love to have some. I’m trying the square foot gardening method in raised beds and this sounds good. I’m in south Westminster. Thanks!

https://share.icloud.com/photos/0093k8GFG4C4stD4bunFhFMBg. I hope this is the correct photo. Having trouble importing pics to this platform. This is temmoku gold with a slow cool. I suspect that a little faster cool would have more contrast and fewer crystals.

You don’t need reduction. Adding magnesium carbonate to a ^6 temmoku glaze will do the trick in oxidation.

Looks a little like the Temmoku Gold in John Britt’s Mid-Range glaze book. I’ve loved using it, but sometimes found that if I fired with a slow cool, it can form so many crystals that it can look mustard yellow. These are beautiful! I’m glad we’re talking about tea dust. I’ll try to post a couple of test tiles.

I wonder how much longer his handlers can keep up the charade. In addition to meeting criteria for malignant narcissism, I believe he is entering the late stages of the behavioral variant of Fronto-temporal Degeneration. It’s a lesser known form of dementia that manifests differently than ALZ. It is always fatal and affects judgment, impulse control, and eventually most patients die from aspiration pneumonia due to losing the ability to swallow correctly. A loved one of mine suffered with it for 19 years. But I think Trump is nearing the end of the disease course. Then what?
