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?
