Bro why is Axel so OQP!Diamondcore with that outfit

This man is a KING that crown is no longer on Diamond's head (;??????Right????Right????DID THEY EVER REVOKE HIS KINGSHIP???????)

He looks like he's about to be absolutely crushed with daddy issues (i.e. dead brother issues) and influenced by the very force of evil that he the hero was created from

the mugs on the left side of your post are some of the prettiest mugs i've ever seen omg you're literally so talented & they're actually pretty cheap for handmade mugs!!

Thank you.

Apparently some people need to understand the cost breakdown.

Porcelain: can vary in price but usually around $80 for 50 pounds. Each mug is roughly 1.5-2 pounds of clay.

Glaze: really depends on what you’re working with but the ones I used are $15 per pint.

School tuition/access to a studio: roughly 6-8K a semester depending on what I’m doing.

Skill: I’ve been doing this on and off since middle school. What does skilled labor cost? A lot.

Tools: good pottery tools are expensive. Look up the prices at Diamondcore.

And idk but all the people who buy my mugs at the craft fairs I go to think they’re neat so like. Art is very subjective but being rude? Really? How about they go find a hobby they can pour all their energy into and maybe learn to love something instead of acting like a fool on the internet.

Thank you, @lizzy0305 for that tag!!! This was fun. :D

The rules are: type your name or blog name followed by "core" into Pinterest and post the first 9 pictures with a quote from a book of your choice. Tagging.... anyone who would like to do this.

I'm afraid I don't have a quote. Sorry.

If you don’t mind me asking, what tools do you use for your sgraffito work? Thanks!

sure! I’ve posted about my tools before so I’ll get a little more in-depth with my answer this time. also I’m not sponsored or anything, these are just what I’ve tried and my experiences with them

this one’s my favourite, kemper’s wire stylus. it’s very fine and it draws the clay away from the surface of the piece like a ribbon tool (unlike a needle tool, which is very fine but kind of a pain to use just because it leaves behind crumbs and burs) the stylus is a little fragile compared to some tools, it’s a trade off for the fine lines, so you’ll have to replace it a couple times a year if you carve an insane amount of pottery like me lol. and you can’t use it on dry or hard clay, the wire will break. but they’re like $8 so, not hard to replace

next are xiem’s ribbon tools. this set is super useful and offers some good variety in line thickness and such. and the coloured handles make it easy for me to find the one I want. I especially like the pink triangular one because I can use it for medium-fine lines as well as carving out large smooth sections with very few tool marks

xiem’s other carving tools are alright too. definitely lower on my list of favourites though. I use the smaller ball-ended ones sometimes for lettering and other curved lines. some are of these will gouge a little too deep so take care if you’re trying them out

diamondcore’s tools are very, very expensive, and I personally find them hard to control, both for detailed work and just depth-wise. I once carved completely through a plate with one which was a bummer lol. they are great for really deep texture though, like these coasters, if you’re careful not to go any deeper

and a friend gave me some of these. they’re dental tools! (and I threw in a picture of a needle tool too) they’re super fine, but like a needle tool, you’ll need to sweep away a lot of crumbs. I’ve cut my fingers on these and do not use them regularly or store them with my other tools. be careful of the angle you hold these ones at. I find a 70-80 degree angle to the surface of the piece to draw with any kind of needle tool works best, so the tip won’t get caught or obscure your lines, but this is getting really technical lol. honestly needle tools are better for mishima than sgraffito imo

here’s the mishima technique, since I don’t post it often. it’s a good way to get super fine linework, and is a great technique to combine with underglaze painting
