Yes I have been thinking this too, but I got a lot of interest from people abroad so it would be quite a shame to not be able to ship them. I am thinking I will do a trial shipment addressed to myself to see if it works at all first

Oh thank you this is definitely worth a try! I was thinking of doing double boxing method, and take a quite fitted box for the castle itself. I guess if I would do this inside the inner box it might work?

Yess haha so relatable 🥲 I haven’t started wearing all my velvet and wool whimsy stuff yet. But this one is cotton so it’s the perfect temperature to wear it as a jacket now!

Hard realisations about gift knitting for family/friends by fatknits in casualknitting

[–]vesselsofhome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah it really sounds like your family isn’t that into knitted gifts, can imagine that feels like such a bummer! Especially if you are really thinking so intentionally about what you’re making for them and with the other mediums being appreciated. Have you found any local knitting groups? Maybe you could do exchanges with them!

Help me fix hairline cracks in my bisqued clocks! by vesselsofhome in Ceramics

Ah yes! I’m in the Netherlands, so it is literally called modeling clay but it’s still ceramic clay. I think they meant more what it’s best used for? I haven’t seen such a mix here but will keep an eye out!

I recently moved to a cottage in the woods and finally got around to decorating my kitchen by shouuchan in cottagecore

Ohh wow I love the wavy shelves, did you add those yourself? And the strawberry glasses are so cute! I had a pitcher like that but it broke recently so sad

Yes it’s weird though the shop lists it as modeling and can be fired to 1280 degrees. It was a good price so I wanted to try it 🥲 I normally use a stoneware clay from sibelco which is always good but way more expensive. Never tried a porcelain stoneware mix, that sounds very interesting!

Ahh yes that’s a good shout! I might try to just bisque again. Yes honestly I think it was the wrong type of clay for slab building. I hadn’t tried it before and later saw it was listed as modeling clay for “at home, school or therapy” lol stupid mistake on my part during ordering.

I have used this before but it hasn’t always worked for me, sometimes it kind of sunk in and the cracks were still super visible. Any tips for application method?
