I have glazed all the bugs for the garden stakes, and the kiln is loaded and firing. 🤞🏻🍀for a good outcome.

Lots of garden stakes in various stages of production.

Underglazed bees, ladybugs, and dragonflies, for garden stake tops.

Underglazed bees and butterflies for garden stakes.

Swallowtail butterfly garden stakes in process.

Wet clay insect garden stakes.

I’m making garden stakes for Spring! These will be colorfully underglazed, fired in the kiln, then glazed with clear glaze and fired again. They will be mounted to green plastic coated metal stakes, approximately 18” long.

@lastword.msnbc.com oops! You just reported on it!

I have added new pottery to my online shop! prayingmantispottery.com

Sauté it with some onions, salt, and pepper until it’s soft, and add it to boiled wide egg noodles. If you have a little bacon grease, that’s even better for sautéing. This is a Hungarian recipe that mom used to make.

So orange…

@maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com thank you both for your reporting. Every time I watch, I want to give you hugs.

My pottery is now on the shelves at Grafton Peek Mercantile in Greenwood, IN! Whee!

I don’t know that we’re unaware…🫤

Be sure you are awake when you expect your firing to complete, once you get that fancy kiln. Also - smoke and CO2 alarms. We don’t want you to burn to death whilst you slumber. ❤️

@e-west.bsky.social who is this?

Ugh.

The problem comes when you have to load a wet heavy rug into your van or whatever vehicle you drive. It also gets everything else wet.

What will you do with it if it gets wet in the rain?

Hi John! It’s Gail Galusky in Indy. Try finding Potters of Bluesky starter pack.

We love you, too!

Mine too. They still have their flags flying. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m in some booth eval group on FB, and one artist showed their booth pics the other day. They depicted the high-ticket items on one side of the booth, the mid-priced in the back middle, and the lower-priced items on the other side. I could see the logic of that.

@lornameaden.bsky.social you might want “Potters of Bluesky”, a starter pack Lois Ruben Aronow put together.

Four planters with butterfly appliqués underglazed in two different color schemes.

Today’s underglazing. They will have clear glaze over them, then wax, maybe, then glaze the rest of the pot by dipping or brushing.
