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!

There's Still Time!

Recent reviews:

"Once I got the item which is beautiful btw. I noticed that I had gotten some sister pumpkins years ago that seemed a bit similar. Sure enough they are related. Signed ShellHawks Creations. Thanks so much for continuing your art. So I can continue to collect. Your stuff is beautiful." - Will

"Love this necklace it’s so well made. The colors of the beads and the crow/raven pendant its orange background. It’s perfect to wear all year around, not just for Halloween. I’m the raven/crow in Native American astrology. So I feel so connected to this . Lots of lil Halloween gifts were closed too very well packaged with lots of love and care. Thank you so much." - dkmk2004

Artist Open House Today!

This here baby is already in his new home, scaring the spooks away from his new owner's front door!

Yesterday... Well... It was a long day, and I was on my feet for almost all of it.

 It's my yearly "deep-clean-before-people-come-tomorrow" day, and that took a couple of hours. I do wash the patio down from time to time to keep the clay dust to a minimum, after sweeping up the larger chunks while wearing a KN-97 mask (inhaling clay dust can lead to silicosis, which, um, no thank you), but a deep cleaning requires moving the furniture and the lion's share of my ceramics equipment off the patio area and the trash cans from their nook. 

Dead wasps? Washed away. Cobwebs? Gone. Literal, garden-variety dirt? Swept up and dumped back into the garden beds. I even take the pressure nozzle and knock the dead leaves off of our old wisteria vine so there aren't many to deal with the next day.

So today is setup and I have to get rolling. Keep an eye out for my shop to reopen in the next day or two so you can grab a Halloween thing for yourself!

Next up in my making cycle: Krampuslauf!

Coming soon...

Works in progress and completed works, coming soon to the ShellHawk's Creations Etsy shop!

 

The shop is currently open, so head over there for your Needful Thing...

ShellHawk's Creations is OPEN!

Just reminding you that the ShellHawk's Creations Etsy shop is open right now! 

And you can grab a few Halloween things ahead of schedule!

I will probably be putting the shop on vacation shortly, to stock up for the next store update, so be sure to do your shopping now!
