Pro-tip:
If you find yourself needing to cry in bed, cover your pillow with a towel. That way, when you're done crying you won't have to lay on a wet, soggy pillow.

There will be about 3 dozen tikis for sale this year at BLFC. Each one is different and one of a kind as I experiment with slip, glazes, underglazes, and special effects. Prices will vary as well, from $65 up to $130 so there will be something for everyone.

I wonder if there's any way to engineer them to be delicious tasting so then people can just have a bonus snack πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

It's definitely impressive how these squishy things can ship such delicate stuff so safely!!

I think those are the kind I've got (I've been grabbing surplus peanuts from my local pottery story)!!
I hear you can eat them too but I heard that they don't taste like all that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

That's what I'm feeling tooβ€”I need to warm up and possibly just re-read things and take my time! I'm not accustomed to reading this kind of literature so I think there's that as well πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
But I figure if I keep at it I'll get it eventually!

I want to understand the concepts of what he's talking about and the context of it all. But clearly my knowledge and understanding is very much lacking so I've got some homework!!!

Y'all ever try reading a non-fiction book but you struggle to understand precisely what the author is trying to say, and you start to feel stupid and feel like your cognitive abilities have declined??

A large sgraffito orange and creamy white ceramic tiger sculpture sitting on it's hind legs rearing up with a paw in the air, and it's mouth wide open as though it's shouting to the sky. There is a mini-me version of them pictured in front of them mimicking the pose.

This guy was kind of difficult to photograph, and is one that translates better in-person. I wanted to recreate the shape of Korea as it's sometimes portrayed as an ascending tiger.
They kind of look like they're dancing hence their name πŸ˜‚

It took me well over 50lbs of clay to finally figure out how to properly center and throw on a wheel. The beautiful thing about clay is that it can be reused and recycled, so nothing ever truly goes to waste while you learn πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

And it's admittedly difficult to see one's work as "worth" a particular price point. But it's also a show of respect to yourselfβ€”and your artβ€”to figure out what price is fair for you. Even if you consider it just a hobby! πŸ™‚πŸ‘
