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:

  21. 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

  23. 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!
