Quick Update!

 It's just been busy around the nest and I haven't been able to post for a bit.

The leak in the archives is fixed, new lights have been put in, and everything is patched, sanded and painted. Now what? Put all of it back where it goes. All one hundred fifteen boxes of it! *sigh*

But on the pottery front, it's going alright!

 

I was happy to get this sugar skull jack-o'-lantern's decorating done, and I'm happy with it! The colors turned out really well and looking at him just makes me so happy!

The pumpkin people need a few touch-ups and clean-ups, but they're looking good, too!

The one above just charms the daylights out of me! I think that this year, more than any other, the jack-o'-lantern faces have revealed themselves to me, told me who they want to be, just like the song by Andrew Gold.

I feel like they're developing more personality, and as my mind frees up, I have more critters clamoring to get out and be sculpted!

New Jacks!

Although I no longer have my own space to make ceramics, I did manage to get a few (very few) jack-o'-lanterns made and fired in time for the season!

 You can still see the video of how I make them at my YouTube channel.

Click on each pic to be taken to the listing, or just head on over to ShellHawk's Creations Etsy store to see all the offerings, including 100% beeswax tea candles and votives!

You can also pick up my limited edition container candle, pictured above. 100% beeswax in an 8 oz. tin, from bees here in Los Angeles.

And thank you, as always, for the support!

Annual Jack-o'-Lantern Mug Shot

 I had to take the annual mug shots last night, since the idea is that these will be gone after tomorrow's venture to Halloween and Vine!

I only have a couple of minutes, as I have to finish packing and getting the house ready for the house sitter, so more of these next week, plus some H & V pics!
