  Adorable! You could print out a photo of the views out the windows and apply them like a poster to the inside of the shutters. Everyone made such amazing bookends! I am not a potter, I am a jewellery artist, and I get so inspired here!!

  &quot;I have to make a miniature of my studio before I leave&quot; - YES! I made a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCxpGHTu2MA&amp;t=72">1:12</a> scale miniature of my office cubicle before I got booted out of it, and it was the most satisfying project. Probably my most cherished piece of art I&apos;ve ever made.

  Have you ever thought of making pottery stamps? I think they would be rather popular. And that tile design would be wonderful to have for projects that need a bit more visual interest.

  The best part about this video is seeing how genuinely happy you are through the process

  I would display them with the rooms hidden... but the little doors ajar so an inquisitive houseguest might become intrigued

  Great results! &nbsp;<br><br>According to the principles of Perverse Magic (PM), your missing blue rib will soon turn up. &nbsp;Washing your car to make it rain is a classic example of PM. &nbsp;Buying a replacement for a missing tool is one of the most potent PM spells. &nbsp;If this sounds like Murphy&apos;s Law, it&apos;s because Murphy was an Adept practitioner of PM.

  I watercolour on bisque. &nbsp;It holds up for years. &nbsp;It just looks great. &nbsp;(I am thinking of the inside of your shutters.) &nbsp;I shoot them with a matte finish acrylic for preservation.

  I love love love the end result! Just a little thing (I don’t know if it actually bothers you as much as it does me just watching you lol), but when rolling out slabs on boards maybe try putting a wet paper towel underneath it to stop it from slowly scooting away from you. We use this trick in the kitchen so the cutting board doesn’t move away from you when cutting fast. I just really see it in the speed up sections of you rolling out and as a result the scooting away also absorbs some of your rolling power which makes it less efficient and more exhausting! Just a little fyi :))

  An idea. Next time, you can create some circular slots to glue in some neodymium magnets so the pieces are secure but can also be removed

  Pro tip as someone who makes miniatures: in the glaze fire you can just glue your pieces with white glue to keep them in place and it&apos;ll burn out before the glaze even melts!

  I love this idea of immortalizing a space you loved but no longer own or inhabit! It seems like a very comforting thing to do before you leave it or after you have left the space, when you find yourself missing the space alot.

  So nice! I noticed that you squish the mitered piece that you cut out and put it to reclaim. I always use them straight to support the corners, since the cutout is a triangle and you need a triangle to sturdy the walls. Speeds up the process when you dont need to roll logs.
