Lol! Delightful fishy!

Missy Fishy is so charming! There are many techniques that I haven't seen. Her eyes are fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing her!
She is adorable! And as far as the peacock, keep using it. You will love it! It's one of my go to glazes
Thanks so much for making these videos. I’ve actually learned a lot watching them. This video is especially informative for me because I was asking the same question(s) you’ve brought up here; particularly with regard to wouldn’t mason stains be more cost effective than glazes. My question is probably more subjective, but I do hope you answer it. Where is it cheapest, without compromising on quality, to buy mason stains? I’d still prefer dipping in a clear glaze after in order to get that nice shiny coating. I don’t have a kiln yet, tho I am keeping an eye out for a good used electric single phase kiln of a moderate size.
@@SammiJoReviews Hi Sammi Jo! I think Mason stains are a brand, much like Ikea. So the quality shouldn't differ where you buy it. If I buy Ikea in the US or Netherlands it shouldn't be different. I off course do not know what suppliers do with their stock of glazes, clay and stains. I have not experienced difference from suppliers I buy Mason stains from. Except for price sometimes and shipping costs. Hope this helps! Btw, percentages for adding sfains to a glaze are different from adding them to a slip. Check the Mason website for more info on that.
@@nukuaceramicsbonaire Thank you so much. I am debating on buying stains & glazes in small quantities at a time, which allow me to build up supplies for glazes, stains, & probably more underglazes. (I reclaim clay to keep extra… build up supply) I still have underglazes along with a bag of kiln wash a friend sent to me. As soon as we are able to buy enough materials, my husband plans to start building me a pottery studio that will be big enough for a kiln, fingers crossed… We are debating between a 12ft x 12ft or 12ft x 14ft. I want to have a lean-to area like yours so I can have a kiln half outside but half inside too, which does away with the need to buy the vent system. I have enough thrown now to fill a small kiln; however, it isn’t easy (or affordable) to find someone willing to do a firing at a rate that’s affordable. I wouldn’t mind a decent used electric kiln, even if it doesn’t have the pretty digital touchpad. At least with an older kiln, I feel like I’d learn so much more. Oh how I wish you & I lived close to each other. I believe I could learn even more from you. The fact that we’re both southpaws (lefties) is an added bonus. 😊☺️
Super fun. Thanks very much. 😎
great video! very helpful pdf! I am very greatful for the information you collected. How is the mixability amongst them, for the mason stain slips? is there something funky going to happen when they touch/mix?
@@siiiriously3226 I have mixed many colored slips and they just behave like slips. I have until now noticed nothing funky going on. 😉
thank you for the PDF. It will help a lot.
Lol! It’s a clay adventure! I love it!
Hi Monique! Thanks for the great information!!😅
Thank you sooo much!!❤️
Thank you so much this will save me soooooo much money so thank you again !!! 🥰
@@raygeorge4553 you are welcome, have fun!
Obrigada Muito para o seu vídeo! É briliante! Thanks tons! Can you show me or tell me where to find the appropriate sifter for your slip?
De nada! My pleasure! Most ceramic suppliers will sell sieves for making glazes.
Yes, I'm feeling the "burn" with the cost of underglazes. Going to embark on this new project; studio will need another station. Thanks so much for your generous sharing. You made me smile today. Kate
@@katestang821 thanks Kate, glad I made you smile!
Thank you for this great info. I appreciate your hard work in helping us save a lot of money.

Thank you for the video and PDF. I've shared your video with my studio as this is a great resource for anyone interested in coloring their clay (Such as Nerikomi process)
@@jameslowrance Great, spread the colors around! 😀
Great visual on the price comparison
@@briantiefenbach thank you!
I also love the orange color. I’ve tried the Mango Mason stain and for some reason I can’t get the color It’s supposed to be. I’ll try the orange. I mix the stains with my Kittens clear glaze to make colored celadons.👍🏻
@@anasclayhouse I mix stains with my clear glaze too sometimes! 😆
Hi Monique, this is great information on how you make your colored slip! I have a Fb group called Underglazes Stains and Oxides where we share information. This would be a great video to share there. Thank you!❤

If you’re feeling Zen it might be a fountain…Liana
Hi Liana, you deserve a star! You are right. I am making my second fountain.
@@nukuaceramicsbonaire it’s going to be very Zen 🧘♂️
Excellent idea. Where do you get your pretty images from to draw please? I haven’t found any as nice and ornate as yours
Thanks! Some images I draw myself, others with a little help from pinterest lol
I ran across one of your videos a few days or so ago. Your work is beautiful & so unique. The thing that I love almost as much as seeing what you are making is the fact that you are left handed like me. 😊 Can this be done using the traced patterns like those you used to make stamps? Rather using slip trailing, would it be possible to simply trace the pattern over the pot then sgraffito the design? It seems to be an option that might work for those of us who can’t really freehand the design, as well as possibly a bonus way to prevent removing too much of the pattern. Any thoughts?
Hi fellow lefty! 😄 Welcome to my little corner of You Tube! To answer your question: Yes, you absolutely can! Here's a video where I do exactly that as this was a special commission. czcams.com/video/SN3vojuxmRo/video.html
@@nukuaceramicsbonaire Thank you so much, fellow lefty. 😊
oooOOooo! Monique, this is looking so beautiful 😍 My first guess is a hanging planter... but now, after reading the other viewers guesses? I'm thinking some of them are pretty darn good! Hahaha I can't wait to see where you take it from here ! As always, love and hugs, 🎨 Art'On 🎨 ~Ange~
Thanks Ange! But no one has guessed it so far. I'll put up a post when this first past is done, yes, it will get a second part, that might be a hint. 😉

Mo, I love, love LOVE the seahorse as it is! Your garden stack is stacking up nicely. I agree, the spacers add to it, and putting more would be a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

I’m really having trouble with mug size. How much do yours hold and how much clay do you start with? Ty ❤
My 'standard' mugs for sgraffito decoration hold approx 350 ml and I start with 450 grams of clay.
