I want a kiln, i want to make owl things

When i was at school i took a ceramics class where we got to make loads of things out of clay, both by hand and on the wheel. I really want to get back into it as i have recently seen a number of ceramic owl items that I'm positive i could re-create.
These include cups and mugs. What i love about them is the originality. Imagine having a nice cup of hot chocolate, or coffee, or whatever you love most. After taking a couple of sips you find an adorable little owl poking his head out from under your warm beverage. Oh my Squee! Normally getting near the end of your cup may bring sadness, but this finishing this cup can only bring joy!
And if you want more colour how about this adorable mug? With a little owl perching on the handle. Too Kawaii for words.
For this next one i would also need to find a lamp of some sorts that i could mess with, hopefully without electrocuting myself. Then end result would definitely be worth it.
This final one doesn't actually feature an owl. But it is ceramic, and i could adapt it to contain an owl. Or is that a little too obsessive? Anyway this cute juicer proves that being functional does not mean being boring. You can make anything in your home look adorable. You just need to know where to start.
Right. I think that's enough rambling for today. I hope you enjoy!
