It took me till my early 40s to find my true passion of creating pottery and making art from clay. I'm always feeling like I am late to my calling and trying to play catch up.
If you have an interest in art or pottery and like the work you see below, consider helping to support this older person's dreams and follow along to be a part of my pottery journey. And remember, it's never too late to chase your dream
TFW rewriting the clipboard manager from #Raku to #Perl saved 20 times of memory :blobfoxnotlikethis: The service does literally nothing most of the time waiting for an event and keeps all states in the file system and Rakudo still manages to eat up a whooping 168 MB of RAM :floofWoozy: I really like the language but its reference (and now also only) implementation’s performance (or lack thereof) really stops me from keep using it.
BTW, fun fact: if you chop a string in Raku and Perl then concatenate their results together you get the original one :ym_rofl:
This piece is affectionately known as 'Kermit the Vase'.
Please share, boost and follow so I can share my work with more people. Let's make Mastodon an artist friendly alternative to mainstream social media and help bring more beauty to these chaotic times.
J'ai réalisé un #hippopotame en terre cuite et puis je l'ai cui en #céramique et puis j'ai mis des émaux dessus et puis je l'ai cui en cuisson #raku. Le résultat est un mignon petit hippo qui est dans l'eau et dont seule la partie supérieure émerge, tête, dos, petite queue.
It's day two of the snow/blizzard here in Nova Scotia. I think we have gotten more snow in the past two days than all the other days combined this winter.
In keeping with the weather, I am sharing this white raku pottery vase.
