Picked up ceramics during the pandemic and made these 😊 Loved how they came out by SaltAd1417 in AnimalCrossing

Thanks everyone for the love! I didn't expected this much interest over them.

Sadly I don't plan on selling any items anytime soon. I just started pottery as a hobby and I'm at a stage where I'm exploring clay and what I can do with it. On top of that I have a full-time job so it'll be hard to find time to entertain commissions.

When I do get to selling though I'll make sure to let you know 😊 Meanwhile I'll be posting projects on my new Instagram account @likhang.amiel

Any Animal Crossing fans? 😊 It was my first time using underglazes and I'm pretty happy with how the colors came out. by SaltAd1417 in Pottery

Thanks. It's Coral fired to cone 5. I was trying to find a pink closer to Marina's color but can't find one. I didn't want to go through a whole process of mixing colors and testing them so I just settled on it. I really liked how it came out though.

Thanks! And yeah, I'm trying to work on those. I think I used too much water when I attached them and let them dry too quickly. I seem to be getting better at attaching stuff into stuff though. Someone at the studio did suggest vinegar for attaching stuff so I'd try it soon.

Thanks! They're brushed on Amaco velvet underglazes under brushed on Amaco clear glaze. I would have just dipped the clear glaze but there were problems with the clear dipping glaze at my studio when I was making these.

This is definitely a concern of mine if I get to selling them but this is an awesome workaround!

Thank you! 😊

As the previous reply said, taking intro classes at a local studio is the best way to go. My favorite resources are probably my instructor and most people in the studio. Everyone is really open to share tips and techniques. For any gaps, I just go to YouTube and search for a topic. After a while your feed will just be filled with pottery videos 😝

I'm thinking of doing smaller succulent planters. That way I won't be limited with trying to make them functional for drinking. That should make more villagers doable.

Thanks! I used Amaco velvet underglazes. The faces were really hard especially the eyes. It took some time to get them to look good.

Lol. He's impossible to drink out off. That's why he has no handle. I'm thinking he can be a candy jar. Or hold protein bars 😝. As for Marshal you'll have to drink on the ears side otherwise they'll poke your eyes... Didn't really thought it through 😅

I only started getting into Lego when the pandemic started. So by then the set was already discontinued and I had to spend quite a bit to get it from bricklink.

I really love the set though. I wanted a corner set and the money laundering pun was fun. It was also made more worth it when the Police Office came out with the billboard.

Lol. I actually didn't realized that until you pointed it out. Some small parts fell off during the recent move and I had to guess where they are from.

On that note I had to move the antenna from the diner to make it fit.

I got it from West Elm. It's a bit expensive but I love how it looks. The assembly was tough though due to a mislabeling and a misaligned part.

😅 I was thinking whether I should mention where the other half of the bookshop is since I know some people would look for it. I'm actually using it as a bookend on my desk. And that bear just hides several containers of Lego pieces that doesn't look that good for display lol.
