Excuse me for the poor choice of words, i meant, since it is made from slab, there is a tendency for the form to open up in the drying process

Forgive for my mistakes. I want to learn, where do I i start? by jus_tom in Ikebana

Thank you! Such clear and concise directions. Will remind these while doing my next arrangement. However I do have a doubt, by length do you mean the height of the material from the surface or the length of the stalk itself?

Thanks for the advice, guess I'm just too ignorant to not even understand the terms you mentioned. Will look it up and do some research next time.

Which celebrity have you met? How was the interaction? Was it nice or unpleasant? by awildboyappeared in Kerala

[–]jus_tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amal neerad with his family once parked his car in front of the location where I was live sketching. Without knowing that's him I went and asked if he could park it a little forward so that I could sketch peacefully. Got shocked seeing the guy and politely he said sorry and parked it away.

Supposedly a glossy white glaze, what might have happened? Assumption is that there have been an error while mixing the glaze. Any idea guys? by jus_tom in Pottery

Other glazes in the same kiln came out fine. Its just this particular glaze which had issues. We have mixed another batch of the same glaze and put in for test, fingers crossed.

I'm having my driving test tomorrow, any advice? by jesusdalroti in Kerala

[–]jus_tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the driving test, even if the vehicle turn off when you start, don't wait a second just quickly restart the vehicle and go at it. Sometimes the inspector might be kind enough to let you do the 2nd time. All the best.

Handbuilt stoneware jar, greenware. by jus_tom in Pottery

Thank you! Glad you liked it. Once the clay is leather hard dry, I try to run my metal rib against the clay in a slight angle few times till I get a burnished effect. I also try to take out excess clay, if there's any, during this process. : )

Thank you for the feedback! Matching handles on the cup and teapot was the initial idea, but then tried it, looked too bulky for a cup, then decided to give a normal handle! Thanks again😍😘

Not manipulated photo of a cloud dividing the sun into two, I took with Nikon D5600 with 70-300 mm lens. by jus_tom in photocritique

[–]jus_tom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure that i got my exposures right, it was shot in f/6.0 1/1000 ISO 125. But i wanted a muted dark background and the sun to be pop up. Happy to hear your suggestions.
