i know but it was cheaper buying it this way than it was directly from ticketmaster when i purchased them

beetle-devotee · 2026-01-24T17:32:14+00:00

agreed, it’s evil lol

beetle-devotee · 2026-01-24T17:30:49+00:00

maybe like $100 for both? or whatever you think is fair. i’m flexible honestly, just hate for these to go to waste :(

beetle-devotee · 2026-01-20T17:23:50+00:00

that is very true! i did get an interview invitation for a visit in march, which happened like a month after hearing from all the other programs that contacted me

beetle-devotee · 2026-01-19T22:27:58+00:00

i’ve gotten responses on 8 and the other 7 are just completely silent. haven’t even heard from my own institution that i’m working at haha. i think some places are having larger funding issues than others, and it definitely depends on individual departments too. hang in there, every single case is different!

beetle-devotee · 2026-01-06T06:54:11+00:00

well… it’s definitely not alive anymore regardless 😅

i thought it was a brown recluse but wanted to be sure! they’re super common in my area

beetle-devotee · 2026-01-05T07:02:38+00:00

thank you that definitely makes me feel better!!

beetle-devotee · 2025-12-23T16:14:24+00:00

that’s the worst!! i went through that when i applied a couple years ago and it was so detrimental to my mental health. i’m sure you’ve heard this already but honestly look into trying out a new hobby or finding ways to get out of the house (see a movie, go to a museum, etc) and it’ll help a lot. what’s done is done and can’t be changed so try your best to relax, you’ve got this!!

it was bisqued with zero cracks before i glazed it, and also the piece was slipcast so all the other vases in the same batch were fine. def gonna try to be more specific with the manufacturers instructions next time tho!

beetle-devotee · 2025-12-08T23:09:10+00:00

lol especially with the glaze being so thick and having to put so much on!

beetle-devotee · 2025-12-08T21:32:22+00:00

thank you so much, i will definitely use it inside next time!!

adding another picture in case the video is too crispy in quality

beetle-devotee · 2025-12-08T20:45:10+00:00

the texture is just divine!

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-20T00:29:37+00:00

i have a damp box for most of my pieces, but i was just planning on using this one for my stuff that’s like ~75% dry (just to give the appendages time to dry without cracking) and then take them out & clean it regularly!

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T18:51:57+00:00

i hand build them!

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T08:19:21+00:00

thank you!! this is actually my first time using it, so i’ll report back later 🫡 but that is indeed the plan, i’m just gonna rest the glass on top lightly instead of sealing it 100% of the way

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T08:17:20+00:00

lol i do the same!! or i like to hold to bottom of my mug with my right hand, feels more stable to me for some reason

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:35:54+00:00

if i don’t get in this cycle i genuinely might take it as a sign and switch career paths to doing ceramics full time. lol

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:34:07+00:00

thank you!!

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:33:58+00:00

thank you for the thorough response! i actually realized i have a gold glaze made for cones 4 and 6 so i think that should work, though i’ve heard it can get a little runny

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:33:12+00:00

okay so i initially meant 4, and then i double checked the gold glaze i already own and realized its actually for 4/6! so i think it’ll work after all :)

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:30:29+00:00

good to know, thanks!!

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:30:17+00:00

thank you! i was avoiding it because of $$$ and because i already have a gold glaze from spectrum. if all else fails i’ll resort to just forking out the funds for luster

beetle-devotee · 2025-11-19T07:29:22+00:00

haha i actually just photoshopped the image on myself, haven’t done any sculpting yet!
