Cuties of the day II : Natsume x Tanuma (& Nyanko Sensei 🐈)

I've been meaning to post these pics for a while now that the bowl has reached its intended recipient!

This is, essentially, fanart of a rice bowl that Natsume made in season 3 episode 8, Little Fox's Watch.

I suspect that whatever techniques they were using in that pottery class Natsume was taking are different from what I had available, but as an amateur potter I had to make do with what I had in class.

The bowl is a lot shallower than the one in the photo (I have "bowl nature," as the instructor calls it, and my bowls tend to come out wider than they are tall), and was made from high-fire white stoneware clay. I pencilled on the outline of Nyanko-sensei's face, then used a black underglaze pencil to fill it in- but I ended up tracing over parts of the lines again with a thin brush and black liquid underglaze anyway, which is why some of it is darker than other parts. I'd probably skip the underglaze pencil in the future!

misuzu and possessed tanuma pics bc I love this chapter so much and I'm so happy to see them animated
