Christmas swap...


I made this snowman ornie a while back, and I thought I'd show him off, he's a sweet little guy. He's a multimedia air dry clay sculpt,acrylic painted then antiqued with a wax paste. Embellished with fabric ribbons, a few bits of star shaped glitter was applied to his eye then sealed with glossy varnish to make them sparkle and shine and of course a decorative hook. here are some befores:

Good Morning, lovely Flora!
This ornie is too stinking wonderful!
You have captured such the innocent glow of excitement that comes from a child's eyes when they see snow!
Big blessings to you.

Oh My Dear Flora!!! He is sooooo magically precious and I LOVE him! I've been showing him off to everybody!

I was the lucky, lucky, LUCKY recipient of this precious little guy, and he has solen my heart. His sparkly eyes are just amazing (as is the rest of him, of course). He will definitely have a place of honor among my holiday decorations. Thank you dear - I miss you! Joyce

Flora said...

Joyce,
I'm so glad he made it to you safe and sound!!! After one fiasco I had, I will always do that, but I'm so very happy you like him and thank you for stopping by with your wonderful comment!!!
Blessings,Flora!!!!

He's lovely Flora! I love to see the creative process. If people only knew how much time and effort it takes to make a piece they would appreciate it even more. Only another artist can have that appreciation!
