Building a prototype. A little piece here, a little chunk there. A rippled squiggle here, a concave dent there. All trying to figure out the best production process & plan for building this year’s new addition to The Ghouls Collection!!!

The new Ghoul isn’t gonna build itself!!! So I’ve been working on my newest character addition for the past couple days. Starting with a prototype… and deciding which of my tools might help facilitate my Halloween Ghoul production & personality this year?! Obviously… some handmade stamps & MKM handrollers will be used!

As apparently FORTY is the magic number again this year… #IFKYK.

10×10 Challenge: More than ten thrown before 10:00am.
Playing with terra cotta today… I’ve got a plan & a “ghoulish” deadline!!!

Looks like Beetlejuice has been all lit-up for a perfectly blustery & spooky Halloween night! Loving the glow from within… nicely done & thanks for sharing Kristen!

With the beautiful Fall weather we’ve been having, it isn’t quite “spooky-scary-Halloweeny” enough yet?! So it seems oddly perfect that Beetlejuice is hosting some beautiful purple statice flowers… at least until the “creepy” season gets here?! Thanks for sharing Emily!!!

We’re ready for Day Two of ART IN THE BARN!!! There are still some new Ghouls left for today’s shoppers!!! But of course you need to say his name three times, spoken unbroken… Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! We’re all in the Lower Barn until 5:00pm today… c’mon by!

Into the kiln just in time?! Sure, they might be a little warm still when the new Ghouls make it ART IN THE BARN this weekend?! It wouldn’t be the first time, right?!

Also, thanks to Laura Williams for finishing off my kiln. I had a little extra space on the top shelf… and Laura was racing against her “art fair weekend” deadline as well. And a little sweet treat from Laura as a Thank You… chocolate covered OREOs with little toffee crumbles!!!

Putting the finishing touches on… a layer of clear glaze. Starting with the interiors & bottoms. The exteriors will be sprayed to cover with the shiny clear glaze… which when applied looks strangely like chocolate chip mint ice cream?!

Fun in the studio earlier this week trying to get these Ghouls finished.
Great colors & coverage with Amaco Velvet Underglazes.
