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.

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Thank all of you. I enjoy making people happy, so double thanks to you all. kissie kissie kissie

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. bop
later the shop ended up ordering quite a lot of things from this lady I had bought from---

Dodge you make a very pretty table. thumbup

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. why---

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

[Linked Image]

I have a huge frog bop 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. why 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. grin

not real long--it depends on the piece.
If I am under a dealine & am using stains, once I clean it & get the greenware fired, I just bring it home & it can be done in a few days.

Thank you so very much Barb.

I think I have shown all of my stuff that I have made up to now, or at least I cannot remember waht I have not shown.
---BUT as soon as my froggie & such are fired I will gladly post what ever else I do.
Currently I am staining a Santa Claus that is holding 2 teddy bears.

Hey, everyone--here is my latesat project in ceramics---5 "flat" snowmen. They have happy faces on one side & sad faces on the other---
These 2 snowmen are of the same pose--I had 2 poured.
[Linked Image]

These 2 are of the "sad" side--still kinda cute though.... why

[Linked Image]

Then finally is the last one--The twinkle in his eye was put there by a friend of mine at ceramics---it is a Snowflake twinkle--I hope you can see it well enough...

[Linked Image]

Thanks so much for looking---- bow

Wow Carol,

The work of a genius........Bet your kids will share in your loot.............

My sis in law had that business once, she is no longer living.. But she had her own kiln an stuff.
Prices were high.

Keep on painting Carol.......Who knows what you may get.. Are you able to order your own figures to be poured? Or do you have to just use theirs?

OMG, those are just to cute for words.

I'm telling you Carol, you need to start selling some of your items.

I must unpack my Christmas items to post a pic of the little Nativity that Carol made me last month. Absolutely beautiful kissie It is such a treat to get those gifts from you.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. This is the one time a week that I have "Carol time". It really means a lot to me

Dodge:
The people that have this business have their own molds--& as long as he has the molds, we can buy the items from him. Otherwise we usually go to a ceramics show that is held one time a year & we buy things already to paint there & bring them back to jerry's shop. he will then charge us for the paints & firings that is/are needed to complete the piece.
"Jerry Dale" has the mold for these 4 snowmen. (This one mold has the 4 snowmen to it) I had painted them all darker so I asked him to sell me 1 snowman extra and that one I painted yellow, to off set the others.----he is in the first picture above,

Well, We have thought of that--but really I am not good enough at painting the eyes to sell them to people. And besides, even if I concentrated on the things w/o eyes, it takes so long that I could not make much profit.

I just got done looking through this post and LOVE all the painting you do on the ceramics! I would never be able to pick out my favorite, although the Holloween stuff is just adorable. Keep up the "Carol" time, we all enjoy it!
