#Inktober #Colortober share out
‘Tis the season for holiday markets
Shastablasta.shop is open now through Dec. 18
If you’re reading this Substack my holiday palette shop is open! As a solo maker, I’m able to open up online sales a couple of times a year, like right now! There will be limited availability online to ensure I have stock on hand for upcoming sales. As items come out of the kiln I’ll be re-stocking. And there will be some new products to share that haven’t made it out of the kilns just yet.
Orders will be shipping on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. First shipping date will be Dec. 2. Last shipping date is Dec. 19.

#Inktober #colortober
While we’ve officially kicked off the Christmas holiday season with Thanksgiving I’ve got a bit of Halloween creativity to share.
My creative fall project was participating in a combined daily challenge for #Inktober and #Colortober. These are drawing/painting challenges, as the punny spelling suggests, organized in October on Instagram. They utilize lists as inspiration to draw and paint from. However, I skipped the lists and made up my own rules.
I combined ink and color into one activity. Each day, I chose an object to draw and then randomly selected a color to paint the object. On days 1-15, I chose a single color. Days 16-30, I chose two colors. And for day 31, I utilized any of the colors I had left.
My focus was on shape and shadow. Some days, I only drew a blind contour of the object and other days, I did a full drawing.
During the last bit of the challenge, I pulled out some Halloween silliness to paint.
