———————— Old fashioned football ————————

————————————————————————————

   I did what I could given technical difficulties so this CC is not actually accurate to antique footballs, as prior to the 60s, those were not made of hexagons and pentagons but rather leather strips sewn together in the shape of a ball.    Initially footballs were usually made using pig bladders incased in leather which were replaced by inflatable rubber “bladders” beginning 1862. This change allowed more control on the size and shape of the balls and later gave way to regulations regarding their size and weight. Some inconsistencies remained between each of these hand-stiched footballs, making picking the right ball a fundamental skill for players and also a cause for dispute when different teams were accustomed to different ball designs (e.g. Uruguay - Argentina 1930).    It’s only in 1951 that the white football (made with bleached leather) became the norm in the interest of making it more visible for the spectators.    By the 60s, synthetic leather balls began appearing as well as the now classic black pentagons and white hexagons version that would later make it’s international debut at the 1970 World Cup Finals.

——————————— Chamber pot ——————————

————————————————————————————

   I have been wanting to make a chamber pot for so long : I already had the one @zx-ta​ made but I wanted one that looked a bit less ancient/piratey for my decade so here we are !     Chamber pots have been a staple for centuries : houses often did not have toilets and when they did they would usually be at the back or in the yard so chamber pots were convenient especially at night. They were so ubiquitous that they even became popular wedding gifts during the Victorian era for both practical and humorous purposes. During the 20th century, they progressively lost their appeal with the advent of indoor plumbing.    The design of this CC could pass for many eras (at least 17th to mid 20th century from what I have seen) so I tried to reflect it in the swatches too : some plain white china, some 19th and 20th motifs, some more timeless earthenware glazed and unglazed swatches and even a dirty white china one.

Works like toilets but is unbreakable

I made it so it gets dirty faster than toilets, thanks to @mizoreyukii’s help
