May Shop Update!

The shop update is now LIVE!
This time, I ended up sending out a preview email/post a week in advanced, leaving the Secret Shop open during that length of time, which will be the new routine moving forward. 🙂

And here's a look at everyone in this latest batch!
Lots of little guys along with a couple of experiments!
This reliquary wolf was the genesis of my Reliquary and Keeper Beasts that will be revealed later this year. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about them, but seeing them fully finished it's really grown on me.

I've been wanting to figure out how to create a Great Horned Owl—and owls in general—in my style with clay and I think I finally got it! Absolutely love this blue/white Owl. It had some slight blistering on it's tail which may have been caused by the underglaze in that area completely drinking in the clear glaze.

I have a sculpture idea that involves a frog and I've never sculpted frogs before. So I practiced my hand at making frogs this round.

And here's a look at the Mini Menagerie crew this round!

I also made a little series of Head Totems I've called the "Lonely Hearts".

And then a series of "dinner plate eyes" head totems because I realised I hadn't styled some in that manner for quite some time.

This one was an experiment using a different blue underglaze, and I'm not a fan of it as the main "body" of colour but it would look good as an accent. Unfortunately for this guy, the underglaze got a bit runny when it interacted with the clear glaze. So they came out with a more "washy" kind of look to them.

I also made purse/bag charms! However, I didn't release them in the update because I want a thicker gauge on the jump rings so until I get those new jump rings they will have to wait a minute for their turn.
But here's a look at them anyway!
