- Reposted by Eva Funderburghof course I don't use AI for my work, AI could never do what I do* *spill a half gallon of paint in my studio floor, accidentally chisel off half a fingernail, and build a jig to cut my entire order of wood 1/2" off.
- Pssst. The sculpting workshop in teaching in Brooklyn is now online for registration! I’m posting it here before instagram. gasworksnyc.kilnfire.com/classes/work...
- The firing wrapped up beautifully. We’ve got to wait until Friday to unload it. I love these cooling days. Days to laze and reset.
- Reposted by Eva FunderburghLook at these two little bug dudes. They're for the tea4t fundraiser @leslielevings.bsky.social and I are organizing, donating to the Trans Youth Emergency Fund! Our store opens April 29th at tea4t.bigcartel.com - more info there now!
- We definitely made a miscalculation when it came to how long reduction cooling would take for this firing. I offered to stay up an extra hour or two, and sent everyone home. It’s now nearly 4am. I’ve been on shift since 4pm. 😭
- We’ve finished all 3 body reduction for the firing. A body reduction is where you starve the kiln of oxygen while the clay bodies are still porous - a specific temperature range. It lets you turn red iron oxide into black iron oxide, giving you richer colors. Also. You get ridiculous flames.
- I need to put a beast next to every cone port. This makes checking the cones a treat every time.
- Wood firing is going great! We’re at hour 18, 1317f in the back of the kiln, 1908f in the front.
- We load the wood kiln tomorrow! Today and yesterday is my attempt to reset after the sculpting crunch and prepare for the firing. That said, I instead drove all day yesterday to pick up a cord of spruce for future firings. That was also nice.
- I recommended Blue Prince to a friend, who loves puzzle adventure games, but doesn’t get as much game time nowadays due to a toddler daughter. He worked around this by convincing her it’s about exploring a doll house. Apparently, she’s now been demanding they play the “House Game” every night!
- I made a beast with some birds, all ready for the kiln.
- Man, Blue Prince has its claws in me. This game is exactly my jam. I’m having trouble putting it down, and definitely dreamed in it last night.
- Reposted by Eva FunderburghCan't stop laughing at this signage for a new line of Katamari Damacy gachapon figures of the Prince and his cousins that proudly proclaims the Prince is "nearly 1/1 size" (because he's canonically 5 cm tall like these figures are). Yes, it turns out gaming gachapon stuff in 2025 remains Good. 😌
- I just packed up some tiny beasts just for this!
- Coming 4/29: Tea4T, an art fundraiser for trans rights! tea4t.bigcartel.com
- Reposted by Eva FunderburghShop update today (04/12/25). My Instagram account was deleted. Apparently there is nothing I can do to get it back. If you followed me there and care to again find me at : mudmonkey_studio
- Tomorrow! I’ll have four beasts for sale and five tiny little delicate skulls!
- Psssst. I’m gonna do a shop launch next Friday the 11th, at 10am pacific! This will be my first normal shop launch in ages! I’ll only have a few beasts, but I’m excited for it. evafunderburgh.com
- I’m making new tiny beasts. And even better, I’ll be making *special* tiny beasts to raise money for trans rights!!
