I love that you rescued cats! And especially one that might have trouble finding a home because of his poopy issue! You have mad kiln packing skills! I can't believe you left NZ. We stay in Whangarei on a sailboat, but have traveled around both the north and south island during cyclone season. We love your country! Wow, its so amazing. I love the accents here too. We have spent 6 months a year here for the last 8 years and I still haven't picked up the NZ accent :(. \
I love Ilona too, I’ve been following her for just over a year now. It’d be so cool to see her in a video if / when she comes to the studio if you guys do a clip. Have a great holiday!
I loaded a bisque kiln yesterday and couldn’t fit all of it in and was super disappointed. But I also looked at all the stuff being left out and just thought that this would never happen to you. And now that I look at how you stack yours- I could have made it. It was possible, but I chose to fire a half empty kiln tomorrow so thanks me.
@@Schnueggl honestly you just gotta be ruthless with it! Any damage I’ve ever had from loading like this I think is from literally loading it too roughly and not thinking about where it needs to go when it shrinks. If things are going to properly topple, that’s when you get into trouble. Give it a go next time, it’s truly liberating lol
I love your foster cats 😍 If the tail of your cat is hanging and they have lost control over peeing and pooing it could be a ripped tail. It can get problematic when they can’t pee anymore as you have to emtpy the bladder manually but in other cases the tail can be removed or it can even heal with time if there is no issue with using the toilet.
@@larissalu hmmm interesting!! he is absolutely fine with peeing. He’s an ex-stray and was so truly terrified when we first got him. The vets at the charity have checked him out for the limp when he was brought into them - the could find nothing wrong physically with his tail or leg which explains it. Pain medication seems to get him closer to the box at least. Will keep an eye on it tho and ask the vet next time we are in
I love this style of a casual vlog :)
@@playhousepottery thanks!! I always feel a bit *too* casual with it, so good to get this feedback!
Me too ❤
Aw, your foster cats are so adorable 🧡

Woo! Can't wait to see you back in Aotearoa!
Tetris kilns would be a great brand name

We need a video of you teaching Ilona Maher how to throw on the wheel!!

Wow, that’s s great job at loading so many pieces! Don’t plates warp when fired vertically?
@@Missv314 amazingly no. I’ve had so much less breakage and warping since doing it like this. It feels crazy
@@Missv314 note - DO NOT do it for a glaze! Only bisque
I love your foster cats 😍
