ghosties are done!!!

My Halloween ceramic is finally done!!  I actually finished it last Saturday, I got up early to go to ceramics class so I could have the tree stump ready for Halloween.  I thought that the tree stump would take a few classes to finish but I had it done in two hours.  The ghosts took three weeks to complete.  Here are a few shots:




This is the stump before Saturday, first you paint it all black and then,
you dry-brush on some colour and hey presto you have a realistic looking tree stump :)  I also made a sign that says "Happy Halloween" and hangs on one of the broken branches (photo of that another time)

And here is the reason I went back to ceramics.  This was the piece that got "lost".  When I was at ceramics this week I was looking at some of her photos and I saw this.  This is the actual piece I painted.  I had taken a photo and given it to Cathy.  She says it is still available to get, so next year this is what I will be making or maybe I should just get it now!  Would HATE to see it go and not be able to get it next year.  Don't you LOVE it tho?  I do



So now I am working on something for a special friend for Christmas:


I have until November 28th to get it done.  That's 4 weeks.  Will post a photo when it's all done.
