blabbity, blabbity, blah.
If empathy is a sin, I'm a heretic.
In less than a week....
Signed out and back in.... Nothing happening.
Can you do the same for me? I didn't get a team or a button.
I don't have a snowball button. Nor am I seeing anything acorn or pinecone related other than people's various posts.
I am going to search for that today.
Guaranteed!
As everyone should love puppers and doggos!
She's the best of both pitbull and rottweiler. Unfortunately, she's fragile. She blew out both her back knees and dislocated a rib in the process. She's had to be a lazy lady lately.
Corvallis, here.
Another Corvallisite!
It was a pleasure painting her!
Eggs in biscuit dough is unforgivable. Biscuits are just butter, flour, and milk. They're very short.
As someone from the south who grew.up on biscuits and gravy, I've never seen anyone put eggs in their biscuit dough. Unless you mean as a sandwich.
Right, but pottery is never 100% dry. In it's wet state, clay is around 20% water, but loses water content within minutes of being removed from a bag. While clay might feel bone dry to the touch, there is likely water lurking in deeper layers, unless it is truly bone dry. Aside from that, moisture in clay tends to level out with the atmosphere around it. This is why most potters preheat their kiln. Moisture is ever present, even at the chemical level, so preheating is key to deal with that.
That's awful. I was picked on in middle and high school as well. When I decided to teach, I also decided that sort of stuff would not fly in my classroom. Now I teach art and cultivate a positive classroom.
Never fire wet pottery - you'll have a load of shards, not pots. Pinholes in pottery allow steam to escape, which, in this case, I believe is the goal.
The lid on that piece is crazy tight, so I would assume the artist puts the hole in top because they have had a negative experience or two with exploding pots. You're absolutely right about the glazed contact points and lids. Source: art teacher, ceramic enthusiast
That's when my love of pottery started.
When pottery with a lid is fired, it must be fired with the lid attached. While the hole did allow the top to pop off, the potter here made an extremely tight fitting lid. Typically, lids can be lifted by hand and are not so airtight as to need a hole in the lid for steam to escape. Since the lid was so tight fitting, had the potter bisqued the work without removing the lid, it would likely have exploded in the kiln.
The hole is to allow air to escape while the pottery is fired. When the piece goes into a bisque fire, it boils away all of the leftover physical water and chemical water attached to the clay particles. When water gets hot, it turns to steam. This steam will fill the clay, which builds up pressure. The pressure has to go somewhere, so it explodes the clay vessel. The hole on top prevents that from happening by giving the steam an escape route.
What kind of kingsnakes? Color/pattern?
Yep...California kingsnake, het lavender.
There's one show titled "Good Art," which, despite the absolute ludicrous nature of the show, is actually quite complex. The Rainbow Raider paints pictures of cats, which are based on an artist from the 1800s and the rest of the episode touches on major themes in art.
That's what people said about the last 5 climate disasters.
Fuego piña? Tell me more.
Two Towns is great! Excellent cheese curds.
Have you had their Cherry SubLime? So good. Their best? Pacific Pineapple!
Corvallis here! It's amazingly beautiful on the coast.
