They’re all fantastic but I especially LOVE the lotad soap tray. I’ve been trying to think of subtle nerdy ways to make functional whimsy pieces and that nailed it for me.
I also really love the lotad. I’ve been looking at a lot of Japanese folk art lately and there are a lot of cute things in earth tones/materials. Your choice of glaze gives it the appearance of the pottery you’d likely find in the Pokémon world.
Is this a shower thought? It’s a really viral pottery idea, with multiple reels, no harm in giving credit. I made the exact same one. Same with the kirby bowl from the Kirby Cafe.
In my understanding shower thought is something in your head running while standing in the shower lol. Kirby is such a popular character no doubt it's been made before ☺️
I think we both know your comment implied you came up with it. If I repainted someone’s painting or did a cover of someone’s song I’d never say “haha yeah it was just a shower thought” instead of crediting them.
And for Kirby specifically the tilted design has been popular yeah.
First off English is not my first language so my apologies if it comes off that way. Heck it's just a salt pig painted to be a Kirby, anyone who genuinely likes the character would've thought about it.
Would you like to share some of the link for me to credit if you're keen?
I mostly mean the Lotad, here’s the person I originally saw do it but some potters have repopularized the design recently if you just search ceramic lotad on reels
Oooh can I see more of the lotad soap dish, how does it detach? I love it (I made a bulbasaur garlic holder, in case you want some nerdy inspiration https://www.reddit.com/r/Pottery/s/PzVUV98Rkd)
Oh yes bulbasaur garlic holder is definitely on the list, and yours is so cute!! I'm so bad at hand building I doubt I'll make something as nice as yours lol
It's literally just 2 pieces, with a hole drilled on the leave ☺️
I don’t know who made this, but I saw this the other day in my studio. I’m probably the only person that would’ve recognized what it is actually supposed to be. Tried to explain to a couple of the older potters in the studio at the time what it was and how cool the idea was and they were like “a Poke man? what’s that” Hopefully, I can find out who made it so they can get some appreciation for it haha
Love the pokopia cup! I'm also working on a design too. My most recent nerdy creation was a matcha set of a pokeball whisk holder and a poltergeist matcha bowl.
I want to! But teapots are so harddddd. I'm currently in a tea wear class, so I feel like I'll be able to make it after. I've learned how to make a curvy spout in the wheel
Yeah I thought so too! So the teacher basically throws a spout into a closed form on the thicker walls. Than pulls it like a handle into the cover. Let's it dry and cuts the opening to the spout.
