Eyebalx!

It does fit! The Rider Waite with the box and the Marigold without. I'll probably go a bit bigger in the future just for wiggle room.

This came out SO SICK

I was so excited I forgot to show anything other than the front. This is a tarot deck box, I'll do a test fit when I'm home from the studio. I could maybe do a handful of these to sell if there's interest!

The holes in the side are necessary in order to have enough light on the pupil for it to be properly visible; the white glaze also helps with that! And the front is black for the same reason-- it helps bring the shadowy interior into the same color grade in a way that a pale lid would not.

So much out of the kilns today! I didn't expect this tic tac toe set to be so eggy

How many mice are you planning for? (sorry if you already talked abt this somewhere)

Yall seem to be operating on the very misleading assumption that I have a plan for anything other than construction of the project immediately in front of me. I'm charging forwards in a frenzy of whimsy with no clue what I'm headed towards

Shelves for the Redwall project! Rodentproofing is the cabinet continues, but these make for a durable and cleanable base. The bottom level will allow for up to 6" deep litter and upper shelves will allow for 3-4 inches of litter; the sides are going to be mesh to allow for ventilation. The sides of the upper shelves are just big L shapes, so everything can be easily cleaned. The middle is open to allow for the climbable tower that will give access to the upper shelves. (Food, water and necessities will be located on the bottom shelf.)

Malice for scale. She's approximately 178 mice big.

[hellenhighwater]

Fine. ONE kitten. But she better get bigger.

If you were wondering how much Vice loves the foster kittens,

He doesn't.

[hellenhighwater]

Vice is warming up to the kittens... very slowly.

Backup analog get-out-of-bed system is fully operational and expects breakfast on time.

Thank goodness.

Alarm went off this morning and I thought weird that it's going off on a Saturday and slapped it off and went back to sleep

I figured I'd give Malice a turn in the garage today but as soon as I set her down inside she tried scaling straight up the door, screaming like she was being murdered. Okay, damn, girl. Back into the house. No job for you, you pampered little howler monkey.

When I'm out in the garage working, Vice gets to tag along and hunt dust bunnies in the garage attic. I pause every so often to call him down, just to make sure he hasn't gotten into trouble.

He always has a Lot to report.

[hellenhighwater]

Augh grant writing sucks. I'm not even doing it right now I'm just planning the grant proposal in my head and already the agonies pursue me

[hellenhighwater]

Crank up the audio, Malice has complaints about the hairbushing process.

I might make some little boxes to divide items in the drawers, just for fun. The inside of the dresser will be lined with felt to avoid scraping.
