This makes you officially part of the crew, you strawhat pirate!

A red black and white cup i made i front of a painting I did of the TV show Twin Peaks.

A painting of a carpet in the movie Big Lebowski

A white tent i made with blue details based on 14th century Timurid empire illuminations.

A stand where I'm teaching myself to weave a Kyrgyzstanian reed screen.

It's portfolio day.

I paint portraits of carpet and flooring from TV and movies, make tents, and weave reed screens, amongst a dozen other things like wood working, upholstering and bonsai gardening.

Large bulbous coffee cup. Top red, bottom black and white zigzags.

New coffee cup. Inside bottom gas the words "Black as midnight on a moonless night"

Coffee cup matchs my furniture. Red with black and white zigzags everywhere.

Finished my new coffee cup.

Twin peaks baby.... twin freaking peaks.

Bisque fired pot. Rounded belly with a flared lip, and a ridiculously tall and narrow foot.

Pot will not fully tip over. Due to the tall yet narrow foot, and a round belly, it's only really capable of a sideways lurch.

The original white mug from the met museum. Rounded belly and tall but narrow foot. Decorated with people on small horses riding around the belly.

Last of my weird object shaped pots has been bisque fired.
I decided not to attempt to duplicate the design on the museum original, but no idea what's going on it instead.

This will not fully tip over. Just lurches to the side. Drunk pot.

They have to boycott the concerts as they can't afford to fill their massive trucks gas tanks to go anywhere anyhow.

I so love your broom posts. It runs adjacent to my own interests

A little oil lamp based of a museum piece. Dragon stone glaze used making a light seafoam green base with red speckled dotting the surface.

Made a little oil lamp and glaze it in speedball Dragon Stone.

Does the studio she goes to sell clay? Using their clay means its compatible with what they are putting in their kilns. Different clays have different firing ranges.

Also do they offer firing services from stuff made outside studio?

Go to the studio and ask them if you want to keep it a surprise.

Blue and white floral pattern bowl with a matte glaze.

Interior of bowl with a bowl chinese character that I'm told means approximately Turnip. If it doesn't, I'd find it even funnier.

A bit patchy. No more blue and white work until I figure out cobalt washes.

I'm going to start a podcast called "Behind the Bastards" except it is about the process to make bastard files and rasps.

What a cheerful Romp of a 16th century day illustrated.

Blue and white floral pattern on a small bowl

Blue and white pattern on a small bowl looking down into the white inside of bowl.

The original 16th century vase i based my blue and white floral pattern bowl.

Finished up the small bowl. Think it turned out quite nicely and not too bad compared to the 16th century piece I based the pattern off of.

Love the little aqua bus.

Fuck Windows and it's ai slop bloatware subscription based enshitification of everything. You are forcing me to switch to Linux you monsters.

A small bowl with red and black graphite drawings on it. Parts have started to have blue underglaze applied.

A small blue and white 16th century Turkish vase from the MET museum collection.

Trying my hand at a multiple colour floral pattern on a little bowl. It's inspired by a 16th century Turkish vase that's in the MET museum.

Wish me luck.

Photo of a drill with an arrow shaft in its chuck, a plastic weavers shuttle bobbin on the shaft, and secured with two hair elastics. Red thread is spilled onto the bobbin.

What to do when you don't have one of those fancy shanty weaving shuttle bobbin wonders....

Improvise.

Toy arrow, two hair elastics and a drill.

Heard it in Pitt Meadows

It's similar to how I layout barley twist legs for wood turning.

Bulbus vase with vertical lines penciled on with laser.

Bulbus vase with horizontal and vertical lines penciled on, the red graphite lines connecting cross points in a spiral pattern.

Alternating swirls paint in with underglaze.

The final glazed bulbus vase.

The vase is done.
I absolutely love that graphite burns off during bisque....
Does it disappear if it's present under glaze.... new experiment. Lol.

No one's asking him to fit and pilot fighter jets, be a submariner, or fit in a tank.

Just front line infantry. :)

I look forward to independent insufferable seeking.

A white teardrop shaped bisque fired vase getting a vertical swirl pattern painted in blue underglaze

Work has started on the next piece. Still not sure where I'm going with this piece. Just glad I got to use my laser.

Dear Lourde, I apologize for the sound. I filmed it in complete silence.

The little pot turned out great.
One coat matte over all, and two thick layers of glossy on the red.

The white area feels glazed, yet looks like unglazed. I was hoping for that.

A thrown dish with slip trailing and underglaze pre firing.

Trying my hand at a new techniques on one of my pots.

Looking forward to throwing it into the kiln.

Red kenworthbpickup.

What's even weirder is this is his second kenworth pickup truck.

A early 80s kenworth cab on a normal truck frame with a normal truck bed painted florescent green.

My dad's newest project is finally on the road. Hello you magnificently weird lowered Kenworth with a normal truck bed.

You amuse me no end.

Are those sheep? Adorable.

I'm far more used to being called weirdo or NERD. Thank you.

For tents. I'd use cotton ,but not generally a used textile for tents in history, but living in the Wet Coast of Canada it's a better choice than wool, silk or linen.
