In the Shop!

 

And more to come this week! Go to the ShellHawk's Creations Etsy store!

Spooks...

There's nothing like the last second push before a show to bring out your best! In this case, my annual Artist Open House this Sunday brought out these darlings! (I love them so...)

Whatever doesn't sell on Sunday will be available in the ShellHawk's Creations Etsy store next week. But I hope they all find homes! 

Closer, closer, closer...

 

This is my last pumpkin guy for the year! I really pushed his drying time by sticking him out in the sun for a couple of days and then laying him down so the fan could dry out his insides, too. He went into the kiln with the rest of the crew on Sunday (with a one hour preheat and the firing set to "slow") and I have been hoping he comes out in one piece!

 

I honestly love him so much I wish I could keep him! But there's only so much space...

And the waiting. The waiting is the hardest part! The kiln needs to cool to 100° F before I can open it, and then it's the marathon glazing sessions that have to happen, plus two more firings! 

Who needs sleep, right?
 

The Last Wips

Getting the last of the crew together before my Annual Artist Open House!

 What can I say? It was a busy, busy summer with renovations taking all my time...

New in the Shop and Coming Soon!

Things are always busy and I am so here for it!

I have some new Moose and Squirrel mug sets coming to the ShellHawk's Creations Etsy shop, and I am so doggone pleased with how they turned out! Black with red inlay and gorgeous copper on the rim!

I've been playing with new gold decals and new underglaze patterns, too! These are currently in the shop and ready to come live with you!

And there are some fun, NSFW mugs ready to go, too!

Head on over to the ShellHawk's Creations Etsy store and get a little somethin'-somethin' for yourself!

New WIPs and News from the Nest

It's been slow going around here, because life has been busier of late! Even so, I've been chugging along, playing with new designs and putting some fun and whimsy into my work.

Am I reflecting my current mood? Maybe. Regardless, cussy cups are now on the menu!

It hasn't been all work, though. I took some time out to hit the Supernatural convention near my house and had a blast!

 

I indulged in a few photo ops, and they were worth every damn penny!

I don't generally fangirl, as I grew up in Los Angeles and have had lots of contact with people in the film industry, but getting to stand this close to Jensen Ackles and Jeffrey Dean Morgan was something else! Sweethearts, the both of them!

I absolutely adored Kim and Brianna! Kind and gracious, as were all the cast members I interacted with!

I'd like to add that my next ex-husband is looking mighty fine, too! ;) We had a couple of fun encounters, and he's just as much of a cinnamon roll/chaos goblin as you've heard!

Maybe I'll do this again next year? Stay tuned!

Pots and Thoughts!

Hi, gang!

I'm expanding my audience for my ceramics and thought that I'd combine it with a potter's version of a fireside chat. If you have time, would you watch this and give me some honest feedback? I'm not fishing for compliments! I'd like some real opinions so I can improve this!

Support Your Local Potter (even if you don't live close by!)

There is so much cool stuff in my Etsy store! Seriously, GO LOOK NOW!
