Most years the Google Japan team shows off a wildly impractical keyboard in October, and they release the open source resources necessary to recreate their madness. Their offering for 2021 was a keyboard shaped like a teacup, with the keys corresponding to the kanji for different kinds of sushi. Naturally I took it upon myself to actually build one of these, which is now done. It was way less aggravating to put together than I expected, mostly a lot of bending and soldering little pieces of metal to assemble the PCB pieces into a cylinder.
back in the game with a bit of insanely last minute holiday rush. i've been busy slapping the shit out of some lovely new cups, tea bowls and yunomis with about 45 in total now nearly dry enough to bisque late tomorrow or Wednesday;
you're simply not living until you betch slap some shetbag clay!
and that little mishap with glaze in the kiln? got to play surgery earlier and successfully extracted the mess
it was that wonderful blue/green crystal glaze, but when most any fluid glass makes contact with kiln brick, it's a bubbly corrosive nightmare. saved some souvenirs to commemorate the first dip shit damage 😑
however, this provided a good time to patch some nuisance cracks that have been causing concern lately plus other fine tuning and maintenance to keep this giant crucible chugging along smoothly! my go-to shop was out of kiln patch compound but with most anything ceramics, such things can be made from source materials, and i found a great and simple refractory [doesn't melt even beyond 2400°f] brick patch!
so my yet-to-be-officially-named baby is currently running a quick bisque temp firing to seal the deal before going full speed ahead during the next week. beginning to mentally prepare for a breathless glazing marathon later this week.
there's gonna be a lot of unicorn cum just ahead...
#teatuesday with the perfect crystalline glaze to match the big snowflakes outside. It even has an icicle. ❄️ I am currently enamored with horizontally carved textures like this one. It feels like water to me. All sort of #texture experiments going on. Not sure where they are leading me yet. Which is awesome! . . . #teabowls #yunomi #handcarved #crystallineglaze #pottery #ceramics #handmade #handbuiltporcelain #makersmarket #etsyfinds #etsyhandmade #potterylover #potteryaddict #homeart #art #clayartsutah #lithologyceramicart https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHONVBrgWe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just using summertime as an excuse to translate another CY8ER song. ;p This one was a struggle at first. I'm still getting used to their lyric style (this is another one written by Yunomi). There were lots of long verses and phrases I hadn't heard before.
As always, I'm drawn so much to the verses written for Mashilo and Yamiyume Yamii.

I want to hold onto the wish that I'll have you someday
Like caressing a crack in the heart
No, no, no
Even if I get used to the nights without you
Somehow you make me flutter around the world
Summer, you should head on home
Looks like you're still slurring your words
Your little nose is like a powdered strawberry pancake
Chilling in the back of the club, your younger brother's blowin' bubbles
Go change out of your nosebleed-stained clothes
I'll see you again in your dreams
If you come here again, bring your white Les Paul
And let me hear a bad song in E Major that echoes all over the world
Summer, you say, "ba-bop-balap"
with bright red eyes like a rabbit
2 cups, 5 cups in, feels like I'm flyin' high
So, that'll be my last cup
Summer, don't you have anything left to sell?
I've seen nothin' but the clothes on my back
"He'll show up with a single phone call."
"I'll give you all the time you like."
Summer, you're riding a sunken ship,
a ghost at the bottom of the sea
What kind of loneliness do you carry?
What kind of morning will greet us?
A quartet of jellyfish sighs, in a place void of warm light
Wrapping around dead fish and kissing their rainbow scales
If you come here again, bring your white Les Paul
And let me hear a bad song in E Major that echoes all over the world
I want to hold onto the wish that I'll have you someday
Like caressing a crack in the heart
No, no, no
Even if I get used to the nights without you
Somehow you make me flutter around the world
I want to hold onto the wish that I'll have you someday
Like caressing a crack in the heart
No, no, no
Even if I get used to the nights without you
Somehow I'll flutter around the world in search of you
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no
