Soft Bones

really frustrated about my photography skills. I know enough to see what needs improving, but I don't know how to do it. also I see the photos as annoying busywork when they're really an art form unto themselves. I should respect the art and learn. but fml. it's so much work and i am so fucking tired

btw I made this crunchy coat texture with just my fingertips :) I did scrungle it a bit more round the back with a potter's pin, but I think that was less effective than the coarser texture of pure pinching. those chisel looking marks are the imprints of my nails :)

Oh, it's really cool that you can make the effect with just a small fire! I've seen videos of people doing the method of putting red hot pots into sawdust, and it looks way beyond my skill level. Your method is a lot more accessible.

the red hot way is very impressive but not that hard to do; you just need a gas kiln (or barbecue thing, maybe, I think) which is admittedly not that common, but no skill other than "not touch the hot thing with your bare hands"
