Perhaps my cutest “Ghoul” in the collection?!

And as the eighteenth member of the collection, that’s saying a lot. I’m totally enamored with the pops of color & how each one is looking different! Might make choosing the “right one” tough for some people this weekend at ART IN THE BARN!!!

That is… if I can get them in a kiln soon enough…

So while I was underglaze painting my Ghoul Owls…
I also painted the new batch of tombstones.
Cute little headstones to sit amongst your collection of Ghouls!

The “eyes” have it! Started by underglazing the eyes on all of the owls.
Already thinking they’re kind of adorable! I love how the personality is starting to pop!
The newest “ghoul” in the collection is already bright-eyed & ready for more!!!

Well, they’re finally here! With a late-night “reveal” of this year’s addition to The Ghouls Collection! While many of you have been asking “Who?” for awhile… get it?

I’ve been working on them for awhile in my studio… with a few hints posted here & there along the way. Did you catch them? But my owls still look a little naked! So I had to bust out some underglazes today to start adding colors.

Yesterday was very productive…
“things” are coming along nicely. Which they kinda “have to”…
if there’s any hope of having them done by next weekend for ART IN THE BARN!

I’m back in full production mode… perfect for another 10×10 Challenge!
More than ten before 10:00am. If you know you know…

Always good to see a happy plant in a handmade flower pot. Like this terra cotta one that Cory’s neighbor Pam bought during the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… and has already fulfilled its destiny by giving a plant a new home! Thanks for sharing Pam!!!

“Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

And we weren’t sure what we were going to get from Carmina either. She chose to make her set out of terra cotta… and did most of her work on it away from others. Very few of us saw her work in progress. So the reveal of FORREST GUMP was amazing! Her tureen is based on a traditional Vietnamese vessel & her glaze colors go along with some of the retro colors from decades featured in the movie.

But the best part… the tray that is A BOX OF CHOCOLATES!!!

Creepy Clowns… the newest member of THE GHOULS COLLECTION. It’s a Limited Edition of forty… and when they’re gone, they’re gone!!! They’re all very similar, but each on has a different color combo & personality. It will be great fun to see how people analyze & pick their favorite this weekend at ART IN THE BARN!

The newest addition to THE GHOULS COLLECTION…
limited edition Creepy Clowns!!!

Coming out of the kiln… not so creepy, I think they’re pretty cute.
Vibrant colors with a smirky-toothy grin… half with hats, and half with flowers “squirting” water!! All coming out for ART IN THE BARN this weekend in Barrington!
