The aliens are back, and apparently they’re here to steal cows and crabs again. 👽🐄🦀 I’m hoping this restock gets me through the end of the year because I’m pretty sure I’ve made enough alien mugs for an entire alien invasion at this point.

I made more Orioles mugs because the first batch sold real quick. Somehow, while glazing these, I completely forgot that I did the inside black last time. 🤦‍♀️ Now I can’t decide whether I like the all-orange version better or the orange-and-black mix. What do you think?

After talking to someone at my last show, they mentioned that ravens themselves are pretty cool even when they aren’t about the team. So I decided to give that a shot! I’m really liking how these turned out.

The new tall tumblers came out awesome. These hold 20 oz and work with a silicone lid, so they’re both cute and useful, which what I aim for.

And then there are the ghosts with their party hats. 🎉👻 I cannot handle how cute these came out. Seriously. They are too much.

This is also the first batch of ornaments done! I’m planning to add some sparkle to a few of them since I don’t have to worry about ornaments being food safe or surviving the dishwasher. ✨ Sometimes it’s nice to make something that can just be pretty and sparkly without having to worry about whether it’s going to hold up to someone’s morning coffee.

Almost the last of the fall items! Just a couple of things didn’t quite make it into this kiln load, but we’re officially starting to transition into the holidays. 🎃👻🎄

And seriously…how cute are these ghosts with their witch and pumpkin hats?! I’m pretty sure I’ll never get tired of making tiny ghosts in ridiculous little hats. 😂

Also in this load: a restock of everyone’s favorite alien mugs! 👽 Apparently, the aliens are not going anywhere anytime soon, and I’m totally okay with that.

This kiln load has a LOT of experiments and a LOT of fall/Halloween, so let’s get into it!

First up: the redo of the ghost mugs, which came out AMAZING. I changed the shape of the mug, adjusted the size of the ghosts, and—most importantly—used a glaze that didn’t run. That last part was key. 😂 These are so good, and I think my biggest mistake was not making enough of them.

Next up was my attempt at some non-branded Orioles and Ravens mugs. The orange Orioles mug is awesome. The one with the clear glaze on the outside, however, ran and just doesn’t really pop. The Ravens mug is okay. I know the purple isn’t quite right, but I’m limited to the glaze colors I have, so we’re going with “close enough.” 😂

Also in this load is my first attempt at a Maryland blue crab series, and I love, love, LOVE these so much. I’m really hoping everyone else loves them as much as I do because I definitely want to make more.

Then came a couple of humbling kiln moments.

I tried to save a mug and managed to ruin another one in the process. Note to self: trying to glue a handle back on with Stroke & Coat after you’ve broken it off is not going to work. Apparently, the kiln does not care about my optimism.

I also had a stilt fail, with one of my pumpkins falling over and attaching itself to another pumpkin. Honestly, they looked pretty cute stuck together, so I was going to get a picture when I took them out of the kiln.

Except…while trying to take the picture, I dropped my phone on them.

Which separated the pumpkins.

And broke a leaf.

Sigh.

The kiln giveth, and the kiln taketh away. 😂
