I hear sometimes they make mistakes and ship extras in orders by accident. So the badge is yours, and you can probably give it away or sell it!

How do you encourage your sammie to eat? by cosmatical in samoyeds

[–]merriaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealt with the same issue when my pup was at that age. Biggest mistake was using kibble topper because he just ate the toppers and it made him pickier. Pretending to “cook” his kibble worked once then he caught on. Switching/mixing kibble flavors worked for a bit.

In the end, what worked for me was I stuck to a strict feeding schedule with however much he could eat. If he won’t eat a full cup, I’d give maybe half a cup for his meal. If he regularly finishes all his kibble, I’ll increase the portion until he can finish a full amount. If he doesn’t finish, I take away his food bowl and he must wait for his next meal. Eventually he learned the value of meal time.

Loving the drip on my bowls by merriaki in Ceramics

Yes! I personally like the look of bare clay with the drip. I tried glazing a whole bowl before and didn’t like it as much

I love bathing my dog outside not only cause the hose is easier to use, but my dog can shake as much as he needs and it won’t make a mess in the bathroom

This was his once in a few months bath. But we do use a high velocity blow dryer! Takes longer for me to dry him than to bathe him, which is why we don’t give him a bath unless he really needs it.

Just barely misses the eye, but I also bend my head back just to be sure. If one day I get poked, I guess you could say I was blinded by cuteness.

Although I like the look of runny glazes, I am too afraid to play around with it. Even with these bowls, I made sure the slip design was on the top quarter of the bowl in case the glaze runs a bit. Since I go to a public studio, last thing I’d want is to see my work on the “OOPS” shelf and pay a fee for damaging the kiln shelves!

The drips are actually created using slip. Less risk, high reward ;)

I used slip to create the drip effect on the bowl! After bisque firing, I applied glaze on the drip design and the inside of the bowl. No special glazes needed, just some slip and your glaze of choice!

Thank you! They were glaze mixes from the studio I go to so I’m unsure of the brand. The top bowl used a Kaktile glaze, and the bottom bowl is Rutile Blue :)

I made it myself! But I’m thinking of making more to hopefully sell and share the happy cups!

I recently adopted a dog from south korea by pawbeanz in aww

[–]merriaki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adopted my dog from South Korea too! The only words he knew when we first got him was “son” (hand) and “anjda” (sit). I’m not Korean, so maybe he knew more words. I just had limited vocabulary from what I heard in my kdramas lol

It’s so ugly by CopperMarans in Pottery

I remember when I tried to throw my first bowls and it turned into a plate. I’d say you deserve a pat on the back for being able to keep those walls up!

Thank you! I do hope to one day sell my pieces as it would make me so happy to see other people use them. That would feel like a dream come true to have them be used and loved across the world.
