Monique thank you for a wonderful video. I haven’t made these stamps but will now! It was wonderful to meet you and spend time at your studio. I love that it is outside. Please let me know if you are near Atlanta because I would love to talk more. Kent

Monique, this is brilliant! I'm going to give it a try. I think I could do this without using my left arm since I'm not supposed to right now. Such a great idea!

Dear lady, you are such a treasure. Thank you very much🤗

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thank you!

[@themousehousepottery2724]

These are a great idea! mine have all been carved in the past, i will give these a go. i have made a clay roll like a mini rolling pin with carved ocean design in it to repeat a pattern. i think this would work well. even throw a tube and slip the design onto it, to then roll over a slab. you've got me thinking!! thanks Monique

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thanks Pete! Those are great ideas! Will you show us? 😃

[@themousehousepottery2724]

Excellent idea. Where do you get your pretty images from to draw please? I haven’t found any as nice and ornate as yours

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thanks! Some images I draw myself, others with a little help from pinterest lol

[@elizahorsten4436]

Was weer een leuke video . Ik heb klei met een beetje chamotte kan dat ook of moet het echt zonder chamotte zijn.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Chamotte in de slip? daarvan gaat waarschijnlijk de sliptrailer verstoppen maar test het uit, je weet maar nooit!

[@sweetwaterwatkins4648]

Love this idea, Just dont have a kiln yet and no where within 3hrs of me to rent one. Ugh... saving for one day

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@sweetwaterwatkins4648 I had the same problem on the island I live, in the end it worked out for me so keep the faith!

[@sweetwaterwatkins4648]

Slowly but surely, everything will fall into place. At least that's always the hope. Lol

[@ingegerdandersson6963]

The metal tips, where do you get them?

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

I've had them for years and years, I don't remember. I know Xiem tools has similar tips.

[@charitab4580]

Where did you buy the tips? Thnxs

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@charitab4580 i've had these for more then 12 years so no clue. Sorry

[@KayRyder-fd6cw]

Love your videos and they are very informative. Love your comphy wardrobe. Question: can I use kiln clay like air dry clay? I don’t have a kiln, but I like to work with air dry clay. Just paint them.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thank you Kay! Sorry, no. Clay for ceramics/pottery needs to be fired to high temperatures for the clay to transform into 'stone'. Maybe you can look for a ceramic store or artist that can fire for you. Much of my comphy wardrobe is also homemade. Comphy and airy is important in the Caribbean. 😀

[@KayRyder-fd6cw]

Thank you for answering my question. Living in the Caribbean sounds wonderful. I live in rainy old Seattle. Not much sun.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@KayRyder-fd6cw well, you can always move....I used to live in cold and rainy Netherlands. 😄😉

[@maestasify]

Make slip with vinegar instead of water. It wets without puffing the clay up, therefore no cracking away from the slab. Run a soft fine brush, barely damp, over the points that stick up from the slip trail ends.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thank you for your feedback. I don't see why I would do that, my slip hardley ever cracks away from the slab and it doesn't puff up. I also do not have these points from the trail ends because my slip is the right constistency. So I don't see the need to add vinegar. I will try it sometime to explore if there is a difference. I will let you know okay? Thanks!

[@lucindadangles-ru5il]

why not sand them down when they are dry to level them out?

[@mountgreen2012]

Guten Morgen mein Herz, einen wunderschönen, kreativen Tag wünsche ich Dir

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Moin moin meine Liebe! einen wundershonen tag und ne dicken knutsch! 🥰

[@chloeuntrau4588]

Less work to carve a drawing, stoke it and eventually reverse....You'll have 2 stamps: a positive and a negative...

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thanks for chiming in! That is also a good way to do it!

[@skcamerican]

But you get a more fluid line with the slip!

[@irmamontelongo8407]

Roosters in the background, so annoying. Lol

[@lucindadangles-ru5il]

why not sand them down when they are dry to level them out?

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

That is a possibility, however that would flatten the trailed slip and I prefer it rounded. Just preference.
