The police protecting Congress should walk off the job.

Your astrological sign is meaningless to me. What i really want to know is what school of Philosophy best fits your existence. Despite having a bit of a Stoic nature I think I fall into Epicurean school the most. It closely matches my philosophy of Adequacy. #epicurus #philosophy

Siliconed my blue starry tarp. Waiting for it the dry, then onto the poles and ridge. #tents #TirRigh #AnTir #SCA

Wab Kinew is a national treasure. Lol

It's portfolio day. I paint portraits of carpet and flooring from TV and movies, make tents, and weave reed screens, amongst a dozen other things like wood working, upholstering and bonsai gardening. #Portfolioday #twinpeaks #biglebowski #tents #Timurid #reedscreen.

Finished my new coffee cup. Twin peaks baby.... twin freaking peaks. #pottery #twinpeaks

Last of my weird object shaped pots has been bisque fired. I decided not to attempt to duplicate the design on the museum original, but no idea what's going on it instead. This will not fully tip over. Just lurches to the side. Drunk pot. #pottery

Made a little oil lamp and glaze it in speedball Dragon Stone. #pottery

A bit patchy. No more blue and white work until I figure out cobalt washes. #pottery #TirRigh #AnTir #sca

Finished up the small bowl. Think it turned out quite nicely and not too bad compared to the 16th century piece I based the pattern off of. #pottery #TirRigh #AnTir #sca

Fuck Windows and it's ai slop bloatware subscription based enshitification of everything. You are forcing me to switch to Linux you monsters.

Trying my hand at a multiple colour floral pattern on a little bowl. It's inspired by a 16th century Turkish vase that's in the MET museum. Wish me luck. #pottery #TirRigh #AnTir #sca

What to do when you don't have one of those fancy shanty weaving shuttle bobbin wonders.... Improvise. Toy arrow, two hair elastics and a drill. #weaving

The vase is done. I absolutely love that graphite burns off during bisque.... Does it disappear if it's present under glaze.... new experiment. Lol. #pottery

Work has started on the next piece. Still not sure where I'm going with this piece. Just glad I got to use my laser. #pottery

The little pot turned out great. One coat matte over all, and two thick layers of glossy on the red. The white area feels glazed, yet looks like unglazed. I was hoping for that. #pottery

Trying my hand at a new techniques on one of my pots. Looking forward to throwing it into the kiln. #pottery

My dad's newest project is finally on the road. Hello you magnificently weird lowered Kenworth with a normal truck bed. You amuse me no end. #Kenworth

Soooo. This may have just happened. I've always wanted to weave the material for one of my tents. Next big project might have been started. #weaving #tents #SCA #AnTir #TirRigh

Started on the legs of my baba yaga hut. Modeling the legs on a cassowaries legs not chicken legs, cause cassowary legs look primeval.

Post a cover of book you love from the 90's.

Today I got to spend time at the pottery wheel. Practicing different forms and trying for consistency of wall thickness. Still a lot to practice. I am reasonably happy both the results. I do tend to be too ambitious for thin walls. It gets to the point the clay can barely hold its shape. #pottery

Starting a new project in ignorance can sometimes be a blessing. I learned to knit making a custom made fair isle pattern touque. Apparently that is not normal. Fuck normal, I prefer weird. I miss my HHGTTG inspired Frankie and Benji mouse touque. Now that I know it's hard, I'm Intimidated. Doh.

A couple things from the pottery classes I took. We were encouraged to experiment with multi layer glazes. #pottery

I have hit the point where I only truly know what day of the week it is by what podcasts dropped into my release feed. Must be a Thursday. As I get The Friendly Atheist podcast and a Beyond the Bastards podcast. Happy Thursday everyone.

Three separate attempts at snatching a FB marketplace loom in three weeks. I am destined to be the second person to reply. That 12 shaft loom would have been sweet (even if it was toggle and not foot treadled). #loom #weaving

With all the garbage going on, I really didn't need Catherine O'Hara passing away. My second favorite SCTV character was Lola Heatherton.

Made a little pot for a small carnivorous plant. The inside is an oxblood red underglaze, and the blue details pattern I am calling Cormorants on parade. #pottery

Reading up on extinction burst theory. Gawd, I hope things don't get much worse, before they get better.

I'm so tired from work, I'm too tired to do any of my hobbies on my day off. Construction Plumbing may pay well but its a tough damn trade on a 50+ year old body.

Installing the skulls around the fence of baba yagas hut. All posts get a skull but one. My favorite BY tale has bone gramma out played by a young maid and forced to loose one of her skull lanterns. #pottery #babayaga

Redoing my glaze tile board. New tiles and a pretty frame cause why not. #pottery #ceramics #NERD

Today i am greatful for my local Langely Farmers Market (fruit and veg grocery chain). Often I find they cut a couple of their cabbages in half. As a single person a whole cabbage is toooooooo much cabbage. #groceries #cabbage #toomuch

Not bad for a non potter. Made a candlestick with a 16th century Islamic vibe. Need work on underglaze technique. #sca #mysca #TirRigh #AnTir #pottery #ceramic

My favorite inspirational poster.

Messing about with home made underglaze transfers. The quote is from some centuries old treatise on urine colour analysis. #sca #TirRigh #AnTir #ceramics

If you see this, post your art with animals. #ArtShare #animals

Working on my blue sunshade, complete with a semy of 8 pointed voided stars (Populace badge of Tir Righ). Based on a small background detail of a 12th century illumination. #TirRigh #mysca #antir #sca

Got a scroll for my tents/encampments, and I got started working on my Kalkan heraldic shield project. #sca #MySca #TirRigh #AnTir

I am starting a new project that is adjacent to my reed screens. Kalkans. A small domed shield made of spiral bound reeds/rods. There are a lot of them in museums, but not a lot about how to make them. Researching museum photos and starting trials on binds techniques. #sca #mysca #TirRigh #AnTir

So even before the next tent project I am going to jump ahead and do a blue awning for my disked bells encampment. Found what I think is a blue rectangle with decorations, red ropes, and poles. I think mine will be Azure, semi of 8 pointed voided stats argent. #mysca #TirRigh #AnTir #tents

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Made a tablero board using leftover reeds and indigo dyed wool roving. #mysca #TirRigh #AnTir #indigo #reedscreen

I fully support CUPE and their continuation of job action. No Work Without Pay! #AirCanada can eat a bag of dicks!

Finished my felted hat. Will eventually replace the band, but it will do for now. The next hat I make will require a proper hat block, as the pot i used ended up a tad too big. #mysca #antir #tirrigh

Just another aging Gen X slipping orthotics into a pair of converse. #genx #orthotics #converse

Next possible tent could be based on this lovely example. Except no horses, and a yurt ring with poles I stead of a market umbrella. #MySCA #TirRigh #AnTir #tents

My warp threads really bled into my wool felt. Making a new hat #MySca #TirRigh #AnTir #felt
