Good evening! Sol & Drake here. We are your hosts, for the Arcilla y Fuego Stars Gala.
This Gala honours the Students of Belén Sotoand their creations. So, without further adieu, let us present to you:
Paloma has lovingly created – Bathtub – The sense of humour found in this sweet piece is definitely an extension of the teacher, our mom in Spain.
This beautifully classic expression of Stone Dreamsis the inspiration of the talented Iris. She must be part duck.
Fran has executed this very unique work of ceramic aptly titled Sucking Octopus. This artist definitely has their own special take! Of course, as ducks, we don’t find any Octopus in our lake.
Armis a classic, realistic approach and is realized by Andrea. We especially love the texture achieved on this ceramic. It makes us think of feathers.
Vicky has given us much joy with this whimsical Chinese Dragon. The colours are uplifting, and just look at that adorable face! Of course, Lluvia is cuter.
Plates for Hors d’oeuvres is not only practical, but beautiful! We would be delighted to serve Hors d’oeuvres, or chocolates, on these plates that Francesca has crafted.
Of course Drake and I would have loved for Lluvia to be here with us tonight. However, she is still a very young duck. As we all know, ceramic ducks age very slowly.
Hehehe! Hey mom, letting you know all is well here in Toronto. I will be graduating from Chocolatier College before Christmas. Resa will post pics!
Jeep here, and I am totally exhausted from guiding Resa in making this post. Some of the ceramics were reblogs on Qe, some were on GLAM & one is new. Mostly, it’s those darn ducks tuckering me out!
I’ve waited years to catch them making a move, but they are very clever. They must only fly when I’m sleeping. Resa says if you click on the pic, you will go to Belén’s blog, where you can find all of these posts, and many more wonderful ceramics.
My sweet family of Ducks created by Ceramic Artist: Belén Soto from Arcilla y Fuegosend sincerest warm wishes to everyone, no matter what holiday they celebrate this season. May your joy equal theirs!

The warm holiday lights were turned on, & Lluvia stood under the tree for a picture. A star fell off, & got caught in her bow. It was so cute, Sol took about 1000 photos.

Of course Drake and Sol have over shopped gifts for their special girl, but you can’t blame the proud loving parents!

Even as they introduce baby girl to the world, Sol has decided to send Lluvia to the all girl “Duckademy” for higher flying.

Sol shows off their new egg. Drake is sure the egg will be a boy! It looks just like photos of him, when he was a young egg.

Here are the very first pics taken of Lluvia with her parents. Here she kisses Sol.
Drake is fiercely protective of Lluvia & would do anything for her. Lluvia instinctively understands this as she snuggles close to Drake’s feathers for warmth.

Dear Belén, I’m so happy you flew with Lúa and Mar to the wedding!
As promised, here are the wedding photos. Sol’s wedding dress is very beautiful!
She can’t stop showing it off!
Didn’t you just love the look on Drake’s face when he saw Sol in the gown for the first time?
It was a beautiful ceremony.
Sol’s egg was a beautiful Flower Girl, even though it is not hatched, yet.
I thought Penelopoe The Witch did a lovely job presiding over the ceremony. I had no idea that Duck Weddings were so unique.
I loved the way Penelope led all of the Ducks in a quack-off as they circled over Drake and Sol, while they made their pledges to each other.
Of course, in duck weddings, the bride kisses the groom, and it was a beauty of a kiss.
Here’s the photo from prior to the ceremony, when the Wedding Party posed for a photograph. Click on it to see the full splendor!

I know you were just as excited as I was, when after the ceremony, Sol threw the bouquet.
I remember how happy we were when Ms. Zulu caught it.
Ms. Zulu was such a doll, handing out the Wedding Programmes. She’d like to remind everyone to take a souvenir Wedding Programme. (click on Programme to view &/or download)
Here’s a picture of the Wedding Cake, taken before the “INCIDENT”, which necessitated the last minute baking of chocolate cookies.
Wedding designed and shot by Resa – March – June, 2017 – Toronto Canada
Drake offers an explanation: Another duck, who looks just like him, has moved into the neighborhood. The cats hypnotized this “other” duck into craving Red Velvet cake, due to the dark rich chocolate.
After that, Drake pleads the Fifth.
Well, I hope you like all of the pictures. Before I go, Sol wants to show you her first fitting. Although she thought the purple was a bit dark, she thought it was a gorgeous option.
