Hollow Ancient Eyes (https://www.haldecraft.com/pr Hollow Ancient Eyes (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/hollow-ancient-eyes). The old man on the corner, sign in hand. The bundled old woman in the cold, no longer even caring that people walk past her. Times are hard. You shrug, you walk past, deliberately not seeing. Even people in your own life that you never have time to call, never have time to really talk with, never have time to visit. What would you see if you made eye contact with those hollow, ancient, cataract-ridden, lonely eyes? What gift would you be giving someone to just say hello, to hear them? To hold space for them for even just a moment? How less lonely would they feel? Would you feel?
Inspired by Spanish and Mexican majolica and talav Inspired by Spanish and Mexican majolica and talavera, these plates (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/colorful-plate) are going to appeal to anyone with a love for color! These are handpainted and each one will be a little bit different depending on color placement and base glazed used.
This colorful One Hit Wonder is in the Tepper base This colorful One Hit Wonder is in the Tepper base (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/one-hit-wonder?variant=31886160756825).

So, most of y’all have seen the little wood-fired kiln Cetty and Joe built, so that she could do some raku.
