Let's end this week on a kiln firing note - that's Let's end this week on a kiln firing note - that's a lot of bisque!
Irish Coffee (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/ Irish Coffee (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/irish-coffee). Browns are among your favorite colors, but not just any flat brown will do. You like that tonal, multi-shade that you see right when the creamer hits your coffee, before you stir it in and little light tendrils are making their way through the dark coffee. That is this color; lights, darks, together, beautifully.
These One Hit Wonders (https://www.haldecraft.com/ These One Hit Wonders (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/one-hit-wonder) will be available for another day or so; I'll probably switch them out late Sunday afternoon, and show them off here on Monday!

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?
