Looks like it’s time to get some glaze on! Everything is finally painted with underglaze… so now it’s time for a layer of clear glaze to make everything shiny & more vibrant.

So much cuter… errr, I mean “creepier”… with more colored accents!!! Love ’em or hate ’em… no matter what your take on clowns is… I’ll have forty of them coming to ART IN THE BARN this weekend. They’re a Limited Edition… and when they’re gone, they’re gone… just like all of the the Ghouls who have come before them!

Even tombstones need some color, right?!

Just a few more colored details to add… lipstick, yellowed teeth, water drops, etc. … and then I can do a quick layer of clear glaze over them all. Going into the kiln with just a tiny bit of time to spare?! You know I how love unloading hot clowns from a warm kiln just in time for an art fair!!!

Hair we go… err, I mean HERE we go… with some bright color starting with the hair!!!

And just in case the “big reveal” was not revealing enough?…
Well here’s a few better pictures of this year’s newest Ghoul…
everybody’s favorite… a CREEPY CLOWN!!!

Okay, so at some point the “big reveal” has got to happen! And production has been coming along nicely… so here we go! The first “glimpse” at this year’s addition to The Ghouls Collection! Every year I add a new character to the collection of Halloween favorites… just in time for ART IN THE BARN!!! Sure, they still have a ways to go… more details, colors & glaze… but I think I’m on track to get them done in time. Sure, they might still be warm out of the kiln… but as long as they make it there, right??? HA!!

Why do I do this to myself??? Okay, so I got a little “distracted” and then THIS happened!!! I thought that since so many people have been collecting my Halloween Ghouls for years… they might need some “scenery” to go with their ghoulish groups! So I made a quick batch of tombstones… because I apparently just can’t stop myself??? And now back to reality… back to the Ghouls…

So now I’m “juggling” ghouls & pumpkins in the studio. Now that I’ve started them both, I gotta get them all finished… DEADLINES!!! So here I’m adding feet & warts to the pumpkins… as I’m a firm believer that all pumpkins should have fun warts on them!!!

So I’m back on “Ghoul production”… and I’ve decided they could use some fun “accessories”! So I think half of them will get hats… and the other half?… something else??? Gotta keep making…
