My baby nephew and Hobie's daughter are becoming friends

A friend of my parents gave them a whole box of pieces of glass for doing stained glass, and they don't want it, so I grabbed a few pieces and I am grinding them up in my rock tumbler to try an experiment for ceramics class.

The rock tumbler is pleasantly quiet when full of glass versus when it's full of rocks

@Stormgren I'm gonna try making glaze out of this. The grinding medium is silicon carbide, which is also an ingredient in some glazes (like crater glazes), so I want to see what happens if I fire the leftover sludge

@401matthall It's not this quiet when it's got rocks in it.

You can get this one at Harbor Freight, if you have one of those near you.

@JohnS_AZ that will be a side product!

@JohnS_AZ Even smaller than that. just glass sludge mixed with silicon carbide. I'll mix it with a flux and try using it as a glaze

@Stormgren Me too!

@stepheneb @JohnS_AZ Small amounts of it are used to help metal ions in the glaze reduce so that you get more vibrant colors out of some of them, like copper. I think the carbon in the SiC burns off as CO2 and the silicon joins the rest of it as silica.

In larger amounts, you end up with crate glazes, which are cool also

@ChuckMcManis This one is from Harbor Freight. I think I paid $60 for it.

@ChuckMcManis it's one of the weirder things they carry

My brother left some drops of water on the leaves of one of his house plants that he left outside overnight and now these marks are permanently part of the leaves.

I asked him if the sun caused it, but he assured me that the plant was only outside overnight. The marks have been on the leaves for a year now

It worked, but the Pletscher rack was pretty wobbly under that load. A bike trailer would have been much better for this job

MLE_online,
@MLE_online@social.afront.org avatar

@phillip I will judge because the wobbliness at slow speeds made the bike difficult to steer

MLE_online,
@MLE_online@social.afront.org avatar

@jarkman @phillip nay. I will just not carry big, heavy, bulky things on top of the rack.

@FurryBeta It also won't readily cut off my fingers or slice my legs open

There are so many comfortable, cozy places Lettuce could be sleeping inside the house, but she would rather sleep outside in the ant-infested leaves because she wants to be a feral little goblin cat

Avis à toutes les du fedivers! (toutes les femmes.)

Je suis en train de dessiner plein de patrons et j'aurais besoin de mesures! Je vous explique.

Je suis en train de faire quelques modèles "fonds de base" à partir desquels décliner à peu près toutes les sapes du monde sur un logiciel de dessin paramétrique.

Le dessin paramétrique, ça veut juste dire que si je donne suffisamment de points de repère à mon programme, je pourrai justement modifier les mesures que je lui donne sans "casser" le modèle que j'ai dessiné, qui s'adaptera tout seul.

Ce que ça veut dire concrètement :

  • un patron qui n'est pas "le plus proche de ce qui m'ira bien" mais sur mesure, à tous les coups
  • on ne parle plus de tailles (fuck les tailles, toi-même tu sais)

Mais pour pouvoir mettre mes modèles à l'épreuve j'ai besoin d'un max de mesures diversifiées pour le casser jusqu'à ce qu'il ne casse plus (et ça sert à rien de prendre un tableau de mesures normalisées parce que c'est justement ce qu'on veut plus).

Bien sûr j'anonymise complètement vos mesures, j'en fais rien d'autre, et vous avez absolument le droit de ne pas me faire confiance avec ça, je comprendrai tout à fait.

Et bien sûr, les patrons que j'aurai produit avec votre aide seront complètement gratos pour vous.

Soyez patientes, par contre, arriver à des résultats convaincants pourrait me prendre plusieurs mois!

Vous pouvez me DM ou m'envoyer vos tableaux à moe.blacksmith@morayner.org si vous avez la gentillesse de vouloir contribuer à ce projet

(et messieurs, ça vient. juste je m'occupe de nous d'abord.)

Edit : interdiction de rentrer le ventre, prenez vos mesures plutôt confortables que serrées, plusieurs fois pour être sûres. Vous êtes belles anyway, autant être belles ET confortables.

@morayner @f4grx Thanks!

I think between Google translate and the diagram, I can figure out what you're looking for

Busy ceramics day. I finished trimming a little marbled bud case, glazed the geometric mug set, finished building my marbled triangle thing, and got my ring jug and pipes sculpture back from glaze firing

I guess the shrinkage was meant to be. This cork I had at home fits the neck of the ring jug perfectly
