Daily Comic Friday Yay! (Patreon)

In case Patreon is still doing their new gallery format (I think a lot of us have been complaining about it!), here's the first one so you can read it without clickin':
I was in Ohio for several days reconnecting with the Girl Scout troop I was part of from 1st through 12th grade, plus our moms, which was quite a feat! There are four members missing, but even getting ten of us together was pretty impressive.
My mom is the one tucked away in the C! I'm riding the a like a bull rider, next to my childhood bestie Emily.
And not to worry, Ollie is fine. I hate that he's gotten bitten twice, but it's not deep and he's fresh on his rabies vax. I'm hoping it's just a squirrel fighting back, because he's brought home at least three hind legs this year and he kinda deserves it!
They didn't come out THAT bad, though! The Spectrum Nova white glaze I bought was the only thing that seemed to be a big problem - it melted right on down to the bottoms of most of the pieces it was on.
Here are a few of the ones featured here; I'll include all the rest of them at the bottom so you can check them all out if you're a big Ceramics Nerd like I am now.
(I'm not opposed to the melty-ness of the white on this one!)
The bigger problem is on these flat-bottomed ones, because the glaze dropped right on underneath and caused them to be... no longer flat. Womp womp.
AGAIN!! And just like Ollie, it happened a minute away from the vet's office. I asked the vet about it and she said it's just the luck of the draw. Color me lucky.
At least he didn't pee on the way home like Ollie did!
The following is also based on a true story:
Okay but actually, Kris's estranged ex-wife was a fun character in my dream, so she probably WILL get a part in this play. (Just not as her ex-wife.)
Luckily I laid out the entire chapter I'm working on now (it'll be a short one) during shavasana.
Proof of the sewing room reorganization:
(The crack Calvin fixed was behind the built-in shelf near the corner - he did good!)
And proof of both the flower-picking AND the macrame-learning:
Here's the rest of the clay pieces, my fellow clay nerds!
Mmmm that flowy drip! Too bad it dripped right under the bottom or this one would have been a success!
These flat ones were just supposed to be trials for painting certain glazes over other glazes:
Not terrible!
My favorite one, luckily, turned out PERFECT:
I wanna make more like this one. :)
I also really liked this one:
This little tea light holder was supposed to be gold, but came out very dark and pock-marked! But I still thought it looked nice, once it fulfilled its purpose. :)
