Cross-Area Projects: Weight Bags

I made some tools for Ceramics in Textiles this evening while I waited for the Great Toaster ™ to cool. It is so FaNtAsTiC having all of these great areas in one building!

P.S. I have 24 pounds of leftover cat liter, and no cat. :joy_cat:

P.P.S. These will never be this clean again. :joy:

By “leftover” you mean…?

You can only get that stuff in giant 25 lb bags. What gives!?! :laughing:

Why did you use kitty litter? What are these for?

It’s inexpensive and absorbent. They’re used to apply gentle weight to flat items like slab built plates or tiles to prevent warping while drying.

I still have a huge bucket of pea pebble in Textiles from making pattern weights but I guess those wouldn’t work.

I’ll see your pea pebble and raise you a container of bbs I got to make pattern weights for myself and haven’t yet…

I had planned to make them in leather.

I thought about putting Emory powder in one part to keep my needles in… I only have like four needles. Actually five but I use two at a time so one is super lonely.

Pea pebbles would probably work perfect. I actually used one of your pattern weights as inspiration for the size. Thought maybe they had beans or something similar in them.

You know, beans might work… if we wanted to make a triple area cross project, planting the sprouting beans later. LOL
