“GHOULS & PUMPKINS SALE” starts tomorrow night!!! Wednesday, October 18th at 7:00pm CST… only here on my Facebook pottery page! Limited quantities as the Ghouls are always a Limited Edition… and when they’re gone, they’re gone!!!

Although I’d rather be outside on the OTHER side of that window!!!

Time to get your Ghoul on!!! Halloween is just around the corner… time to start decorating! Every year I make a new Ghoul to add to the collection. I only make forty… and when they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Starting tomorrow night at 7:00pm CST I will be hosting an online sale of some “older” Ghouls only on Facebook. Very old-school… but it works… as the first person to claim a Ghoul in the Comment section gets it. So mark your calendar… there’s only a handful of some of them!!!


Beautiful colors & wonderful textures… perfect for Texture Tuesday!

While some of these Ghouls are classics… they’re also Limited Editions! So there are no more Mummies, Frankensteins or Witches. Pumpkins will be around for years to come… and tomorrow night I’ll be selling off some of the “newer” Ghouls only on my Facebook pottery page with my “GHOULS & PUMPKINS SALE.” If you’re looking to start your collection, or add a few more characters to your Ghouls Collection, there will be Scarecrows from this year, plus Werewolves, Vampire Bats, Pirates, Little Red Devils & a few different Pumpkins! Some are more “limited” than others… like the Werewolves as there are only TWO of them left!!!

Prepping to make some mug handles… a little reminiscent of Stonehenge… err, Clay Henge???

Handles attached… mugs assembled!!! Now just a little cleaning-up, a little smoothing… and then some drying, firing, glazing & firing again! Coming along… but still a lot of steps in the process!



Especially when you’re trimming with DiamondCore Tools that create these wonderful ribbons of leather-hard clay! Of course it helps when you’re pairing good tools with the Giffin Grip for quicker centering & stability while trimming! The perfect combo of my favorite pottery tools!



Time to trim some cylinders… well on their way to becoming a new batch of mugs. Using some of my DiamondCore Tools for smooth & clean trimming!

Looks like Diane has finally moved into her new place… lots of boxes & lots of paper… and unwrapping her pottery collection first thing!!! Perfect timing for another Mugshot Monday!
