Wow the planter! What an amazing colour!❤
thank you!
Love love love the plant pot🎉😊
thnks!
Thankyou for the 'how to do it' in words and visual, you don't know how helpful this will be. Thankyou x😊
My pleasure!
You mentioned you used white slip. Do you make it? If so - how? I don’t like the finished color of b-mix with clear. Want a white! Other than porcelain and white underglaze I don’t know how to achieve. Any thoughts for a hobby potter without a lot of knowledge? Thank you
@@ElaineCasel I make slip from the claybody I work with which is Laguna white stoneware #65. I use scraps, slake them and sieve them. That is all. This is an off white clay, not as white as a porcelain.
As usual, everything is beautiful. I love when you show us the animals.
@@andreamcveety8193 thank you, glad you liked it!
Love your Kiln openings, always so much fun and you have the cutest guests ever!❤
@@ginafeddersen8200 thank you Gina! Yes, I feel blessed with these cuties visiting me. ☺️
I absolutely love your work and your videos are always a delight. Thank you so much for sharing your world. 🤗
@@joyceravenwood1885 thanks so much Joyce! And thank you very much for your donation!😘
OMG all the animals that visit you are so cute. Your work is wonderful as always
Loooove the tic-tac-toe pieces and the the pendants turned out great! Great kiln unload. Now your talkin' bout my fave animal...donkey. I fell in love with these gentle and humble animals after visiting Burkina Faso. Thanks for sharing, Monique! 🫏
@@AudreyLynnStudios thanks so much Audry! Aren't they just adorable? Those eyes and ears....*sigh*. ☺️
🥰🥰🥰
I love that you have animals come to visit you! I wished I had parrots here in Georgia. You see them in Brasil also, even in the city you see macaws!🦜😍
@@anasclayhouse Yes, having the donkey's, parrots, goats, chickens and more birds and gekkos visit is fantastic. Macaws are not indiginous on Bonaire, however, there are about 5 flying around. My neighbours down the street see them sometimes. I have not (yet?)
Hi Monique! I loved your pieces, the charms the sgraphitto pieces are adorable and your tests. Have you ever tried Robins Egg stain? It’s a lovely light blue, but I also love Bermuda stain. Thanks for sharing!❤
@@anasclayhouse thank you Ana! I have not tried that stain, is it a Mason? Thanks for the tip! ☺️
@@nukuaceramicsbonaire yes the number is 6376. I thought you’d like it, it’s similar to Bermuda but more blue than green, very pretty!
@@anasclayhouse thanks, I'll look it up! 👍
Thanks for sharing as always great work
@@corryg6403 thanks Corry 😘
Your videos are always adorable and make me smile every time with your beautiful creations and love of animals! 🥰🦜🦜

Hey Monique, wat heerlijk om weer te zien wat je gemaakt hebt en welke dieren je weer tegen komt! Dank voor het delen❤

Oh, heart pillows! I bet my granddaughter would like to make some with me!
@@skcamerican have fun! Thanks for chiming in.
What a great idea to look at fabric patterns for designs on pots. Just a wonderful idea.
Yes please show the how too, thanks can't wait to see the finished piece. I love your 'non plan' way of working, I do the same, if it works why change😅😊
@@denisenoble4010 do you mean the stamps? That video is allready up! Sometimes the freedom of winging it is so fun. 😅
@nukuaceramicsbonaire yes I did and going over you page I saw it was there. Thankyou x
Where did you buy the tips? Thnxs
@@charitab4580 i've had these for more then 12 years so no clue. Sorry
I love your work. Thank you so much. ❤
OMG, so adorable. The clay birds, and the Parrots!
THanks!
Glad you got your kiln working again. Have a wonderful week
@@sharonpollack1119 it wasn't my kiln. It's the utility company that can't always supply 220V. Very frustrating.
@@nukuaceramicsbonaire Totally Frustrating I totally understand.
@@sharonpollack1119 thanks!
Your ceramucs are beautiful. Thank's for sharing.
@@fionabryant2311 thank you!
I love your Huming bird platter. I just wonder how much it would cost to buy one plus shipping ?
Thank you! This was a small plate, appox 22 cm for which I charge $35 at the moment. I am assuming you live in North America, shipping would probably be approx $20.
The parrots seem to like you. You are so lucky to have them visit. I have a hawk that likes to chase one of my cats. Really wonderful is the osprey that has been stopping by. I live on the bank of the Sacramento River in Reding, California. The osprey nest is across the River but they like to eat their fish in my next door neighbors tree. I am so fortunate to see them up close. Your use of mason stain to colorize pearl white is quite brilliant. I was thinking the glaze might be kimchi before you explained. I really liked your pendants. I made some earrings with Cone 5/6 glazes and they also melted so that the bottoms have glaze drips. Speedball dragonstone glazed earrings look really good with the drips, mottled blue with burgundy drips. Love all your carving and slip work and that planter. Thanks for sharing and entertaining, Liana
Thank you Liana! To see an osprey upclose is quite the scene! I have seen them here too but only from afar.
Love your work and enjoy your videos
Thank you!
You Are Amazing !
Thanks!
Gorgeous planter! Love the parrots at the end!
Thank you!
Two gorgeous cheeky visitors again. i love your chess pieces!!! they are super Monique. Thankyou for sharing with us
Thank you Pete!
Nice nice ceramics Nice „Bulli“ Volkswagen with the sign (star) of Merzedes 😂🎉 So funny idea
Thank you! It wasn't meant to be the Mercedes sign, it's a peace sign but the angle of the spokes are a bit off. lol 😅
I think the birds would appreciate a dry spot on the base
I absolutely love your work. thanks for being an inspiration and a teacher for me. <3
thanks!
Love the chess pieces! I need to get back to my chess set project. I got distracted making dishes. The castle is called a rook, the horse is a knight and the pointy one is the bishop. Then the queen, king and pawns. So from outside to inside, on the chess board, you have the rook, the knight, the bishop, the queen and the king. Typically they get taller as you work toward the center. Beautiful birds! I've had lilac crowned Amazon, quaker parakeet, cockatiels and conures in the past. My daughter had a cockatoo. I also had a crow for a time, and he was the smartest of them all!
Thanks Pat! Thank you for he correct names for the pieces! I tried to make them taller towards the center but the bishop turned out a bit shorter lol. They are so fiddly, I am not making then again, hahaha. I have never had birds, I am so blessed these come to visit me every day. My granddad had a wild crow come to visit him every day, he was a smart one too!
Het is zo'n plezier om naar je video's te kijken. Mijn hele dag is weer vrolijk en goed.
Dankjewel Marijke, berichtjes als de jouwe maken mijn dag ook weer vrolijk!
Love the new planter, and I so look forward to seeing your chess set! Thank you for your videos and for your encouragement to keep us creating whenever we can. I know I have to.😄
Thanks for chiming in!
Love your kiln opening as usual. The chess set is going to be so cute!
Thank you, I hope it will urn out nice.
What a terrific kiln load! And I love to hear of your experiments hacking slips and glazes, producing excellent results and saving money. Looks like the parrots are here to stay!
Thank you! Yes, the parrots come every morning, a great way to start the day.

Omgosh how funny are those birds and so beautiful! I have an African gray that we rescued. She’s so much fun and we love her! I absolutely love the forums and the games are so fun! I’ve thought about making a chess set so many times but never have. I do however have the molds to slipcast them and I’m in the process of doing that now. So nice seeing you!
@@micheledickey4066 thanks for chiming in Michele! The parrots here say hi to to your African gray. 😆🦜🦜
@@nukuaceramicsbonaire Hahaha. I bet she would go crazy if she could see them. She chirps along with the birds outside. Do any of them talk?
@@micheledickey4066 no, these are wild ones, they do a fun chirping though. I'll try to get that on film.
