Meet ‘Grow-ley!’

Did I need a new mug? No. Did I buy this one purely because it reminded me of Crowley and I thought I could use it as a cache pot for a plant? Yes, yes I did. 😆

It was about £3.50 in Asda if anyone wants their own snek! I’m tempted to repaint him to be more GO accurate but right now he’s just cute as it is. ❤️

I couldn’t resist getting a snake plant for him, (A bit on the nose? Absolutely!) and when I saw one in the reduced section at the garden centre today it was like fate! So, let me introduce you all to ‘Growley’ the Dracaena ‘Fernwood’

Even under a light my room is probably too dark for it to thrive, and I’ve never had a snake plant before so he may have to move elsewhere eventually but he can live here for now and look adorable. 🐍

@weirdly-specific-but-ok now we’re both in the same boat trying to keep these things alive! 😂😂😂

Here's my favorite mug out of the batch!

Really pleased with how the Mason stain and granular magnetite turned out. Definitely will be trying to replicate this result in the future.

The snake is colored with Bermuda and French green Mason stains mixed into the clay and then blended in a gradient.

I added a cobalt oxide wash (by Mayco) to the scales when it was bisqued to really make the texture pop

I’ve opened a DesignByHumans Store! I only have the one thing up right now, the first in a series of mugs im working on. Currently working on a blue tongue skink. 

There is also one for Tea if you’re not a coffee fan! Besides mugs I’m also going to be working on prints, leggings and hats! DesignbyHumans is always adding new products so Im excited to see what else is in store!

Here's how one of my Baron's racer mugs turned out! This one was my favorite for glaze and snake placement. But I experienced some cracking along the body of the snake.

There seems to be a fairly fine line between drying too slow and drying too fast. The other has no cracks and I attached the snake pretty soon after throwing. This one sat covered for a while before I got around to it and while still leather hard I think perhaps the snake was too different of a moisture from the body of the mug? So the different drying rates caused stress fractures on the snake.

I added a cobalt oxide wash into the scales of the snake when it was greenware and I love how that turned out. So I'll be buying some more oxide washes (namely rutile and iron) so I can really highlight the scale texture on non-blue snakes too.

I still need to paint the dorsal stripe and facial markings on this blue Baron's racer mug, but I'm really pleased with the handle and snake placement so I wanted to show it off!

Very excited about this Baron's racer mug design!
