She's gonna have such long beansprouts some day

Play it very, very slow, with supervision and bribes for good behavior. I started introducing the kittens to Malice and Vice in November and while Vice has pretty much made his peace, Malice is still grouchy about it. I'm expecting at least another month before she's won over. (This is typical--Vice has very binary yes/no reactions and once he's good he's all good, but Malice is just a curmudgeon who doesn't like change or sharing.) Start with slow exchanges of scent, then quick visits, and go from there. Terminate interactions while they're positive and resume again later and plan to mostly have them separated for the early stages.

Did the boy kittens get adopted out already?! I’m so glad Elizabeth has a home

The "boys" (this littler was all female) Darcy and Bingley have been adopted and are settling well into their new life!

Elizabeth's new owner is the sibling of a tumblr user (I'll let them identify themselves if they choose) and perhaps we'll get updates on her at some point. But it seems like it'll be a good home for her!

Mayhem, of course, remains my problem.

So much fur...

She's spayed and the adoption paperwork is done. Mayhem forever!

She's very very high right now

Question: how big are the Asterion & house sets? I'm trying to figure out if I have somewhere to put one if I get one.

Very small! Here, a ruler and a hand for scale.

The bigger house is about 4.5 inches tall and the smaller is 3.5. Asterion is a little over two inches tall.

There are two Houses with this glaze in the current batch!

Fun fact! This black glaze works like a chalkboard. I chose it so you could make yourself sad with baby minotaur drawings.

Hi! I might just be stupid but what do you mean with the "and a house" part of: "Prices for an Asterion and a House will be under $150". Do you plan to build them houses too? Will the Asterions be available on their own? I fell in love with him and if i can afford it i will try to get one :D

Totally fair question! This is Asterion

And these are Houses.

There's about half as many houses as there are Asterions, and people can mix and match which ones they want, or get just an Asterion alone. Each House and Asterion are numbered; I'll make sure there's a gallery to scope them out in advance. Shipping in the US will be included with the price and international shipping will be included up to $20 USD. (I'm not expecting it to be much more than that, given that they're quite small. )

A final goof in this household: she's learned to drink from the faucet by sticking her whole head in the water.

Mayhem and Elizabeth are going in for their spay tomorrow, and Elizabeth will be heading home with her new adopter afterwards. She's gonna be great.

If you aren't able to get an Asterion (either due to current budget reasons or because they sell out) please go to the site anyway on Feb 8--I'm going to try to get some sort of an interest survey/contact form up once this batch is sold out. I have to have warm weather to make these (I do my slipcasting outside) so I won't be able to start on them until summer, but if I can get a decent metric on how many to make, that would be really helpful.

Prices for an Asterion and a House will be under $150; more details to come. Website is www.highwater-studio.com. They're not listed yet because I just took the photos.

He survived glaze firing, the wick and oil reserve work perfectly as intended, and now he remains in chains, offering light.

Well it's literally going to be so cold for the next few days that the kilns aren't going to be able to fire to temp, so that's fun.

They're all waiting...
