my sad boy. he’s personal to me, but I love that he speaks to other people
there’s a few cracks ☹️ though honestly that seems like great symbolism
but his tattoos and piercings turned out great
and the back of his head is suitably horrible. I had originally covered his hands in blood but I wiped it back when I didn’t like it, and it turned into such a nice (and unplanned) effect to just have a little red staining his hands
the stain I used to make the slip is called Golden Ambrosia, so I’m hoping for a golden yellow but… admittedly I’ve never tested this one lol

some angles of this one are great, and then others 🫤 not sure if it actually needs fixing or if I just spent too long staring at it today. 5-6 hours is maybe too much
re: feline bowl's medium: the met's collection page for it does say it's stone! (I in no way intend to suggest that museums never have errors on their collection sites, but stone vs. ceramic really is an easy distinction to make if you get to touch the object)
thanks!
I had thought it was stone but I second guess myself out of correct answers 😅

@citruscity added your ID to the original, thank you!

My box of pottery arrived and I'm so happy!!! I had ordered the original of this selkie mug last year but it didn't survive the shipping trip to socal 😢, however I reached out to @claypigeonpottery when it happened and she VERY kindly offered to remake it for me and try to send it again and I'm ELATED to report it made it here safely this time!
Also included are an array of lovely magnets! I adore the two pink skeleton bunnies, they remind me of me and my sister 🤍🩷
I almost regret attaching the cup to the legs. It’s just so crisp and the lid turned out so nice. I probably should make a matte white glaze so that the cup looks nice. Consider doing the weathered bronze for the legs. Or maybe just gold but I haven’t tested that glaze yet. I think I’ll make some this morning.
