swachter<p>Ayyy another not-terrible thing! I’m so glad I took notes on what all I did on this one. Mostly this was A Science on how to do decent stencils - I put down black underglaze in the first step, but unfortunately the adhesive on the back of the stencil pulled it up in undesirable ways. LEARNINGS!! </p><p>I’m definitely coming to the conclusion that underglaze and adhesive stencils don’t play well together. I still need to try underglaze on greenware and see how that works with using a stencil after bisque firing. Or try a different stencil material, maybe one with less enthusiastic adhesive. </p><p><a href="https://toot.boston/tags/ceramics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ceramics</span></a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/pottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pottery</span></a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/trynewthings2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trynewthings2025</span></a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/butterfly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>butterfly</span></a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/monarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monarch</span></a></p>

Gretchen K DeahlSleepy Monster in a Teacup<br> Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.<br> <br> This artwork is now
