I began a Thread here for my ceramics--it seemed easier to do it here so I could add my new projects as I make them. Below is what I will have out for Halloween this year. I have other Halloween ceramic pieces --I will post them later.More next post>>>

Thank you!

Thank all of you. I enjoy making people happy, so double thanks to you all. Barb: No I do not do craft shows & such---With only being able to go to class once a week--I do not think I could ever take orders or have enough items on hand to make it worth the time/trouble.

I also love your pieces, Carol. So much personality comes through. And they are all happy and make me smile. Even the spookiest ghosts won't scare your future grandchildren. Now do you pour your own pieces or do you use greenware, Carol?

thank you ladies you are all so kind----and nope I do not pouir my own. we tell the guy at the shop I go to what we want--we pretty much know what molds he has--or he will pour different things and bring them down & we will all buy different pieces. OR like one time I bought a few pieces on e-bay & the owner just fell in love with the different pieces this e-bay lady had. later the shop ended up ordering quite a lot of things from this lady I had bought from---

while I DO have alot--long ago I came to the realization that I really needed to try very hard to only make things to sell or to make as gifts. But every now & again I still make myself something too.

Wow, Carol, you made those?! I'm impressed, you're extremely talented! I remember taking ceramics class in high school and I was only good at making asymmetrical projects.

Rod & I were talking about just that, today. :wink: BUT I do not have a KILN nore the knowldge to use one if I could afford it. I guess I could go to places & buy fired items & just stain them (the process that I used to paint Dodge's gnome, huh??? Dodge you make a very pretty table.

Snow: sorry that I have not gotten back to you beofre now---really now is not the time for me to be taking orders. IF the shop is still open in the fall/winter perhaps we can talk again. Right now we are having problems getting the son to fire our items. His mom who w as the driving force at the shop has passed, & so I do not know what is going to happen. ---

Here is my latest piece. I had no real reason for making it--I just thought it would be fun. he is not quite as glossy as he looks--and he has freckles I have a huge frog all set to be fired that is done in glazes. The son of the owner keeps saying it is too hot to fire up the kiln. So I am patiently waiting on it. Right now I am working on a Santa bloomer (below the belt--abdomen & legs is a bowl for candy) here at home I have several pieces that have been cleaned & fired that I can, at my leisure, do in stains.
