A photo of a large pale green luna moth resting on the edge of a wooden table. Its wings are spread displaying the eye spots on all 4 wings. There is a reddish line along the leading edge of the front wings, and the hind wings descend into a delicate "swallows tail" The hind wings show some damage indicative of attempted predation.

Another photo of the moth resting on a white sheet, the forewings are partly closed over the hind wings.

A macro photo of the moth's head from the side, showing its feathery yellow antennae, it's red legs, and the white fur-like scales covering the head.

A detail photo of the ruffly ends of the ends of the hindwings. The edges feature a slender red line bordering the pale green. The ends of the "swallows tail" are ruffled.

Last night was the second night I have set up the #BugLight \his year and the first real night of the season, and I WAS VISITED!

We appear to have! Power came back on sometime in the night and we don’t have any damage or limbs I can see without having gone outside yet lol it was a short fast moving front. We have a lot of watches in KC but not too many warnings. Wrangling cats into the basement is a pain 😂

Yay sirens and no power

Oooh that’s cool!

Yeah I didn’t expect the glaze to do what it did on the left but it’s a cool look.

A mug with a rough gradient glaze blue at the bottom blue green on top

A mug with an angler fish and a squid on it, there is a darker bit at the bottom that looks like a shadow but kind of isn’t. The mug is sitting on neon grave and hermit crab shells

The tests from the gradient attempts with sprayed on underglaze. The one on the left I think is rad. The color difference is purely from the black underglaze spray in from the bottom. The one on the right had green underglaze. Not super jazzed with the right one. Testing continues!

Ah thank you so much!

Thank you! It’s new I’m excited to play with it more

Thank you ☺️

Thanks!

She can join the cool mug club too 🤓 so glad you like em

Im at a show and feel awkward, I guess cause I haven’t been to one in a while and this one isn’t my crowd? Idk here’s some mugs

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

A guitar top with some braces glue on

Further evidenced by I just realized that I forgot to glue the bridge plate on this guitar and already put one fan brace down…uggggggh

Basically how my brain feels right now.

Also idk if you have access to one but if you ever want to do a mask for the logo, cutting masking tape with a vinyl cutter like a cricut or silhouette is a great option. That’s how I do the circles around mine on opaque glazes or dark bodies.

Thanks! I really wanted to do an aquarium but I ran out of time for my friends zine submission dead line. And the hermit crab that lives in our aquarium told me not to disturb her home.
I like the bag version a lot though!

That’s what I figured I definitely did the same with my glazes until I knew better how they would behave

Get these weird fish from a pet store I can’t seem to get back to? I keep going to the intersection that it was at, but I just hear a sinister laugh and wake up at home on the couch?

Hey it looks great! The glaze pulls it together nicely. Any particular reason you didn’t glaze over the logo? It’s look lovely pooled in.

A view looking through the space between the frog and tote on a Stanley no. 4 handplane. Shavings from a spruce guitar brace can be seen in the opening.

I had to use my full size router last night and honestly that’s one tool I don’t miss not using much. My porter cable probably needs some tlc and that would make it a bit quieter. But I had a much better time hand planing spruce braces before that.

A ceramic mug held by a hand. The mug has bas reliefs of Luna moths, glazed in an emerald crackle color. The deep green glaze flows from high spots and pools in low to create additional depth and detail.

The inside of a sound board with a red routing template peeking out

Wow routing a sound hole like this was way chiller than how I normally bevel the interior. Which is to forget to do it until the box is closed and then do it by hand with a knife from the outside. Flush trimmed to the red printed template then chamfered with a different bit .

Going on the list! Robots eating noodles on the cover?! I’m in!

An acoustic top with a part being glued to it

That’s not goin any where

I am incredibly guilty of this. I spent 40 min making a custom cardboard box to save 2 dollars 😂 and I always thing never again.

This fowl is cooked. Ready for a mold.
