Gonna call this a success! Love the satisfying texture of the grog on the bare clay 💕

Oh, this was in response to the “even if you half-ass it” bit, not disparaging Easter eggs! I just wanted you to know that short alt-text is allowed and not necessarily half-ass-y 😊 but I frequently read the alt-text and appreciate an Easter egg 🌟

accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-con... this helped make the task less intimidating — alt text is meant to be short and *just* the salient points! Maybe this is obvious to others, but I think I was stressing myself out trying to be too “complete”

It’s a different species (the grocery store ones are Diospyros kaki)! Apparently there are D. virginiana that look like tiny Hachiya/acorn persimmons too, but I’ve yet to see that kind in the wild 🌱

Thank you! I have such a hard time figuring out how to glaze this clay — I think it looks really nice bare but tend to have glaze ideas that involve covering most of the piece 🙈

Thank you! It’s definitely a technique I want to keep playing with 😄

I’ve used bisque fix on porcelain, but only on actual bisque — I try to avoid bisque fix when I can because it doesn’t hold onto glaze as well as clay does, so sometimes it creates a glaze defect (just FYI). Plus, porcelain absorbs water so fast that I find slip is glue-y enough on greenware!

Those look so well-attached! And lovely handle shapes and thicknesses too 💕
I’m so surprised you’re having issues — is it cracking? You could try using thick slip, letting the slip glob out of the seams initially, and waiting for it to dry and shrink back a bit before cleaning the join up.

It is! It’s the “patchwork singlet” from that book (but cropped a bit and with a different quilt pattern) ✨

Thank you!! I just used every green-adjacent linen scrap I had pretty much 😂

The pattern for this top is from Birgitta Helmersson’s zero waste pattern book! I 💖 zero waste sewing 😄
