I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sketching along 🥰❤️

Thank you so much! I’m glad I could make the chickens expressive! I always feel like they look kind of emotion-less and I’ve been trying to work on expressions 🥰

I overthink my current sketchbooks and buy new sketchbooks with the goal to not to overthink them… it never works 😂

@@CaitlinBongers 😂😅😂

You have to get kanthal wire! It can take temperatures up to 1300C

Thank you! I also like to write lists of all the things that I’m planning to draw. So that when I sit down to draw and I don’t have any ideas, I can look at my list and just pick something :)

Thank you for watching! I really thought nobody would see it with how long I haven’t uploaded. I’m glad you enjoyed it again 🥰❤️

I just love the potential of a new sketchbook so much 😭 let’s work hard on finishing some old ones so we are allowed to get a new one at some point again 🥹 Thank you! I’m glad you like my drawings ❤️

Thank you!! I haven’t drawn foxes in a while, I should go back into it! They’re a lot of fun to draw 🥰 I promise when you keep practicing they’ll get so much fun and a lot easier than people or common pets like cats or rabbits!

@@CaitlinBongers Thanks :)

I have no klin

Ceramics need to be baked in a kiln! Before I had one I used to bake my work in a kiln at a pottery in the city.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it 🥰 I do wish to make mor videos like this soon

These are not made with air dry clay! Ceramics are very brittle when dried by air and have to be fired in a kiln to get strength

@@CaitlinBongers oh! Thank you. I did not notice the title said ceramics! Lol

Definitely! And also making something by hand just makes it extra special already 🥰❤️

Thank you! ❤️

I’m not sure what you talking about! Do you mean the glaze before it’s being fired for the second time? There’s a link in the description of you want to know the exact one I used!

The glaze should say the firing temperature on the container! There’s usually earthenware glazes, midware glazes and stoneware available in most pottery stores. Sometimes it says ‘fires to cone 5-6’ instead of a temperature. You can just look up what temperatures the cones stand for

Hi it’s not porcelain! It’s stoneware clay that can be fully cured between 950-1250C. My bisque and glaze fire both were 1050C in this case. I’m not sure what you mean with hold or soak!

Thank you!! ❤️

Ik ben de laatste week alleen maar aan het arceren 😂

Its a flexispot desk! I love mine a lot ❤️

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment! I’m so happy to hear that you’ve found it inspiring 🥰 I’ll say hi to Doggo for you!

It’s been a while since I made this video and I’ve changed my workflow quite a bit since then! Lately I’ve been using a linen cloth underneath my slabs which also works like a charm 🥰 I’ve been thinking to make an updated version of this video some day soon 🤔

Thank you for the tips!! I’m slowly getting the hang of it with lots of practice 😋

It’s a special thread that is able to withstand the heat of a kiln! I believe it’s made of Nichrome (gets a little bit more brittle after firing)

@@CaitlinBongers thank you so much~~~~~~^^

There’s already many pictures of them on my Instagram! When I finished them I was debating doing a ‘unboxing’ video for UA-cam 😅 but I ended up not doing that because I wasn’t sure people would find it interesting

Thank you!

Thank you! ❤️

You can put the underglaze on top! It will melt into the glaze underneath and usually is a bit more Matt than the glaze you’re using. But I’ve also had a couple of times where it became a little rough. I would definitely make some tests with your glazes before you try it on your real pieces!

@CaitlinBongers thank you so much. I will definitely try that!!

Thank you! I’ve done that a lot in this sketchbook and it’s a lot of fun to see it turn into something finished 🥰 that’s not always the case but it’s fun when it happens and you can look back at how all those projects started!

Thank you!! I don’t really have a good way of tracking the sketchbooks. I think I have filled somewhere between 30-40, with some being really small (20 pages) and some HUGE (190+ pages) I might also have filled some in my teenage years but sadly I threw those away :( I should count them all and make some sort of index so I can keep track 🤔

Hi! Unfortunately the mixing surface wouldn’t have the same qualities that ceramic has. It would essentially be like mixing on a plastic plate (so if you use acrylics it will stick to it and if you use watercolors it will bead and stain over time) There are some special clay varnishes that will do the job in making it waterproof and those palettes will be just as usable as a plastic palette! So if you just want to make a fun palette for yourself it’s definitely worth looking into :) I know a friend who made a palette with the sculpdit/sculpd brand varnish and used it for at least a little while! Since I don’t have experience with using air dry clay myself I can’t give you any more tips. But I don’t think it could hurt to try it out 🥰 the worst that could happen is that it’s a learning experience!

Thank you! I’m happy you like them 🥰❤️

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it ❤️ I used to have a lot of trouble when I felt like I had to improve with every drawing. But now I try to remind myself it’s also okay to just have fun, even if I didn’t get better. Or even if I didn’t have fun AND didn’t get better, it’s still a step in the process. It may be frustrating sometimes but with each drawing we’ll get to see more of who we can be as artists ❤️

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the podcast! Sadly it's an experience I see a lot of artists have with art schools... I'm actually going back to art school this year to give it another try, but not back to St Joost :'D. I hope this time will be a better experience and I hope there's better art education in the Netherlands than what St Joost had to offer. It just sucks the life out of creating, and makes you feel like you can't just create for fun anymore. I'm happy you found your way back into creating! I hope you're having fun and exploring the creative path you can make for yourself :) I don't know if you are still around Breda somewhere but I actually host a Sketch group that meets up in Tilburg every few weeks or so! If you are interested go check out my instagram, there's a link to the discord there

Thank you!! 🥰

Thank you for watching!! I am definitely addicted on putting lustre on everything now 🫢

Thanks!!

@@CaitlinBongers I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more of your videos ❤️
