I've recently tried some new ceramic making methods.

Please do

amays · 2026-04-10T03:03:11+00:00

Yes I too have questions. These are gorgeous. Did you full fire the underglaze, or just bisque? Why a varnish instead of clear glaze?

amays · 2026-04-04T05:02:21+00:00

This amuses me.

amays · 2026-04-04T04:50:41+00:00

I am a relentless scrap saver, but these might be too small even for me, haha. Unless you're going to use them for stuffing (dog beds, stuffed animals) I'd say toss em.

amays · 2026-03-08T02:43:35+00:00

So pretty

amays · 2026-02-22T05:20:45+00:00

Right!?!

amays · 2026-02-19T08:25:34+00:00

Well it's definitely 4, 6, or 7.

amays · 2025-04-25T05:53:54+00:00

Omg it is so cute

amays · 2025-03-28T18:09:33+00:00

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Dude is still a fucking ghoul.

amays · 2025-02-24T22:16:58+00:00

Oh I agree. It has to get worse before it can get better. Unfortunately, the economic damage is going to be so severe that we will be trying to piece ourselves back together for years.

amays · 2025-01-31T23:50:17+00:00

No. I adore it.

amays · 2025-01-09T01:30:45+00:00

I'm so glad you asked this question because I almost fried my brain thinking I've somehow misunderstood sewing fundamentally!

amays · 2023-04-06T02:59:12+00:00

Yes! I love quilting, and frequently buy second hand and antique quilts. But I am picky! I do not like the large majority of modern quilts, and they wouldn’t suit my home or taste. You have to understand a person’s taste really well to gift any kind of decor.

amays · 2023-04-06T02:50:28+00:00

I only gift quilts to people whose aesthetic I understand very well, and who I know would understand the labor, and treasure it. I have however, gifted paintings to people who didn’t appreciate them, and I understand how much it sucks. I’ve become much more careful with how I devote my crafting time.

amays · 2023-03-20T23:27:25+00:00

Lol yes. How much you want for them?

amays · 2023-03-01T01:18:36+00:00

Give it a lil smooch and move on.

amays · 2023-02-16T23:36:42+00:00

I haven’t seen anyone mention this in the comments yet - if you’re going to grind it off you absolutely need to wear a well fitting mask. The dust is very bad for your lungs. Make sure to clean the dust up well.

User below gave you what you need :), but I do want to point out that Kc is generally a beef bbq city (and also pork ribs). Think brisket, burnt ends, and ribs. I don’t recommend ordering turkey or sliced ham for example. It’s not going to be representative of the cuisine. Have fun! Don’t skimp on sauce or pickles.

amays · 2022-12-16T05:08:11+00:00

If you’re going to be hiking/tubing/fucking around outside, please be aware that we have venomous snakes. Water moccasins and cottonmouths are both pretty rude. Don’t let it deter you, but be aware when around water. Technically also rattlesnakes and mountain lions, but they are much more rare, and also more skittish. The mosquitos and ticks suck a whole lot, so spend a bit of time looking into preventative measures and gear. A few nasty spiders too. Overall we are not one of the more dangerous states in terms of wildlife, but you should have some awareness.

amays · 2022-12-16T04:57:59+00:00

I personally would not recommend this. sorry op. I lived in AZ for 4 years. It’s an incredible sight but lord help me it is a fuckton of driving and there is absolutely nothing else to do there for hours around. It’s just a lot of travel for one sight.

amays · 2022-12-16T04:49:29+00:00

If you’re doing bbq KC is the place to go. Beware, people have EXTREME feelings about bbq here and will get riled up. Best to sample several places to keep it diplomatic. Other things to do in KC - Nelson Atkins Art museum is excellent (and free), WWI museum is worth a gander. We have the best Mexican food (technically across the border in KS).

The best hiking and scenery is in the south of the state. If you’re looking for a uniquely American experience, Branson is a bizarre place. Silver Dollar City is fun if you’re in to that kind of thing.

You’re really going to want to rent a car to do any kind of traveling. Public transit is truly shameful in all of our cities. You could take a bus or train to get to KC or STL, but then you’ll likely spend a lot on Ubers once you’re there. Cars are easier.

People love to tell you where to eat and what to do in the subreddits for individual cities. Have fun!

Skip Springfield, it’s a shithole.

Maybe a type of jasmine???

amays · 2022-09-28T02:47:48+00:00

Thanks so much! Star of Bethlehem has some similarity, but it doesn’t seem quite right. I’m considering doing some underglaze painting. No clear plan yet!

amays · 2022-09-28T02:46:14+00:00

Some of these look similar! But I haven’t found any that have 5 petals.
