Displayed my pottery shenanigans at a local medieval society event. I can never ever ever take anything seriously. I am definitely the "problem apprentice" to my Laurel.

Long ago I use to make stuff wood turning. I decided to make myself a turned rope bed for camping at SCA events. Most of it is made out of reclaimed pallet wood and painted with home made milk paint stained with red & yellow ochre and the black is candle soot. Once that paint is on its never coming off. Eventually the bed was modified to be a chair. 2 more images in the comments. This is the back panel

Yesterday's art was a tudor house trailer that was made specifically to hold today's entry. Today's is a stained glass window that I made 20 years ago. It's a mini version of a window from Augsburg Cathedral from the 11th century. Changed the banner inscription to an inside joke. I had no access to a glass kiln to do a reverse frit painting of the lines so instead it's all Dremel etched and stained.

Structural art. I planned and constructed a portable tudor house that was attached to a flatbed trailer. The sides / front / back were all attached by piano hinges. The sides at the 3ft mark folded inward then the back wall folded ontop of the sides, then finally the front wall folded down on top of back wall. The roof tarp and roof beams live inside the closed structure. I built this custom for tomorrows art entry. #structure #sca #AnTir #TirRigh #weirdo I call it art.

Here I demonstrate that I am only vaguely aware of what a goat looks like. Mucking about building a scythian style rhyton drinking vessel. Yikes and lols all rolled into proudly ashamed of this.

Switched Instance Reintroduction.
I am a friendly Misanthrope that is fixated on the crimes of the Littlest Hobo. I have carnivorous plants as pets. I have recently taken up pottery, have a love of history of tents and other nomadic architecture. I secret dream of being Dick Proenneke.

Today's pottery experiment involved lasers.

The faint lined stars were at full power cut/half speed. Scored the very top of the thin clay but not enough to be able to weed the shape.

The more obvious star was full power/full speed. It fused the grog in the clay (diatomaceous earth) formed a glass like scar and the ability to weed the shape was impossible. It may have some possible use that warrents more experiments. Just not today.
