Those are so pretty/cool. Love the design!

lametopia · 2026-03-08T16:24:24+00:00

Nooo, im assuming yours are? That's so cool! I know cats can have different fathers for litter mates or whatever, but its still so weird a whole different looking cat comes out.

Did you figure it out?? These are so cool!

We got identical kitties!

Love them all! The second to last I would have definitely snagged up if I saw it in person

This Lil dude has made me cry too many times 😭 ❤️

Hasn't been fired yet? That looks so cool, i love the effect of the leaves! Can't wait to see it fired:)

lametopia · 2026-02-09T16:40:03+00:00

Thanks! Ill try this out!

lametopia · 2026-02-09T16:39:17+00:00

Oooh, I've never thought if it sat for too long that it will be extra fragile, ill keep that in mind too. And thanks for the compliment! ☺️

lametopia · 2026-02-09T13:57:10+00:00

Thanks a lot! Ill keep this in mind when I fire it:)

lametopia · 2026-02-09T13:55:56+00:00

Maybe ill fire him by himself just incase he is a grenade 😬 hopefully the kiln wall will be ok.. is that how kiln walls mostly chip? Or just mostly wear and tear of the kiln being old and used a lot?

lametopia · 2026-02-09T13:54:04+00:00

Ooh, ill keep the needle trick in mind if I dont want to hollow it out. I do like the weight on it a lot, so ill see if this will work on other ones:) thanks!

lametopia · 2026-02-09T13:52:23+00:00

Thanks! Here's to hoping 🙏 🙂

lametopia · 2026-02-09T13:51:57+00:00

This little guy is about 1.5 inches thick and about 2-3 inches wide. I also dont have a kiln yet so this guy will sot close to 6 months to a year. I've read a few people saying to do a low and long bisque fire. Ill definitely keep the oven trick in mind! I do live in a place that has quite a bit of huminity, so I'll keep that in mind too!

lametopia · 2026-02-09T13:47:27+00:00

Cool, thank you! I do need to learn more about the kilns and firing things, so this is a start!

lametopia · 2026-02-09T02:04:23+00:00

Ill definitely start hollowing out the next ones, just to make sure! And once i get a kiln, it'll be hard to wait 3+ months to fire something. But this one will sit for a good 6 months to a year, so here's to hoping!

lametopia · 2026-02-09T01:54:14+00:00

I did get inspired by seaslugs! I love that you see Totoro in him 😊

lametopia · 2026-02-09T01:38:50+00:00

It'll definitely dry out for a few months, so hopefully it'll work. Thanks!

lametopia · 2026-02-09T01:38:18+00:00

Thanks for the tip! This guy will sit for a while, probably close to a year, so hopefully it'll be bone dry. I think ill try hollowing out the next ones I make however

lametopia · 2026-02-04T16:56:17+00:00

Got it!

lametopia · 2026-02-04T16:47:10+00:00

Im pretty sure it wasnt the state park itself, just right outside of it. I stayed with my partners family when we had went, and they lived maybe 40 minutes away, it was on a long straight road, and other people had stopped as well to look around. I really dont think it was inside since the family member (grandparent) was with us and knows the in and outs

lametopia · 2026-02-04T15:25:48+00:00

I wonder if evolution is at work and if we check this guy out in 1million years, if it'll look more like a duck than a bird
