What started as just a test of @chrysanthoscolor.bsky.social underglaze pencils turned out to be one of my favorite pieces this season.

Same underglazes and inside has the same glaze. So interesting to see the difference in results. Will post a side by side soon!

Mt Tam on B-Mix with grog. Interested to see how different glazes reacts to my ones on darker clay bodies. I'll post the differences soon!

Sad there was no real way to save both pieces, but I'll take one piece survive as a win.

Firing at a community studio means that firing is often out of your control. So when a very avoidable issue occurs and your piece shrunk around someone else's. I just got a figure out what to do... Wish me luck.

Sometimes, I'll make something and I can't quite find the inspiration to hand carve a decoration, in which case, underglaze transfers have been a godsend.

Yeah~ stencils for emblems, logos and smaller designs is what's up. And I still will say~ #untilthengame is one of the story games I've played.

Tassajara Pottery Studio's China Blue dipping glaze can't be beat. Breaks beautifully. Applies evenly. Shows all the stamp details.

Looking up why the Jollibee is a bee, I found out that the mascot is supposed to represent the spirit of the hard working Filipino who also is happy to do so.

Spooky season! Making #ceramic #pendants for a #mananggal. This #aswang is your secluded woman that lives by herself on the outskirts. At night, her torso separates from her legs as she hunts. Stories like this have been cited to be during colonization to discredit the babaylan, or village shaman.

I'm getting into the #spooky season with @chrysanthoscolor underglaze pencils. This is my homage to the short comic, The Tale of the Wandering Jester.

Making new #ceramic #pendants and doubling some as glaze tests! #expedition33 #esquie. #untilthengame because I can't not. And some originals - based on Philippine folklore and animals, the Tiburon and a palawan leopard cat.

I'm doing a talk for the NCECA Green Task Force about building sustainability at the ceramics studio!

I may have just grabbed the closest glaze I could to pour on the inside to finish within class time. Blue Smoke (I think) from IMCO, with the outer rim being a test that ended up being more black than expected. Still happy with how it turned out.

Reminder to test! I do like this. But it's nothing of what I was expecting it to. Speckled buff base with B-Mix sprig molds. The sprigs were brushed with copper wash, so was expecting the green. The outside glaze is an experimental version of red lotus, so expected red crystals.

Double double toil and trouble. This is your reminder to not accidentally drink your paint water ~ from a commission I finally got around to.

A commission I'm completing for a friend. A view of Mt Tam from the marsh and some egrets. This is a first attempt, and will be making more.

#untilthengame has inspired me to make more #ceramic pendants from some other games that really meant a lot of me in recent times.

Well, this game has major themes of letting go. So, I'm honestly not too upset about this.

Apparently, a piece next to mine exploded and this was a casualty.

There hasn't been a day where I haven't thought about this game.

It's definitely a great way for me to learn #stenciling on #wheelthrown #pottery.

Taking more advantage of #sprigmolds from the old estate sale.

Good point. Thanks!

I'm experimenting with different surface design techniques. The first is #sgraffito and inlaid with #mishimaceramics. The second is stenciled with dripped underglazes.

I'm taking opinions and would like to know what you prefer.
