12 (or more) ceramic ornaments feature YOUR HOME in a textured relief with my signature watercolor glaze. Makes a wonderful remembrance and keepsake for gift giving at the holidays, a grandparents' birthday, special anniversary, or unique wedding favor! A truly one-of-a-kind gift option for your special occasion! With your digital photos as inspiration and guide, I sketch and handcarve a master relief, pressing it into soft, wet clay, cut the clay into ornament shape, slowly dry, trim, sand, and kiln-fire your ornaments. Midway through the process, I will apply multiple glaze 'washes' in what can be described as 'painterly fashion', finishing each with crystal clear glaze, and a final firing. When the kiln cools, I add a cotton hanging cord (plus a small charm if you'd like), attach a story card describing this process, and individually wrap each of your keepsakes in its own gold organza and satin drawstring bag. 3.5" & 4" ornaments are pictured, but size and shape can be customized, depending on your subject/photos. See photos for an example of a submitted photo of a home and the corresponding ornament I created. Additional photos include examples created for custom wedding favors and family holiday packages. These are individually hand made works of art that make a touching and impressive gift! Price reflects minimum of 12 ornaments at $24@ plus insured domestic shipping. Price break at 100 & 1000 or more ornaments.

Hi! I'm a 1-person studio artist, hand-building and hand "watercolor-glazing" fine white clay to create original ceramic wall hanging art & tile, special occasion & holiday ornaments, one-of-a-kind pendants, brooches, and collectable buttons. About half of the time, I make relief sculptures from my handcarved designs, including landscapes, monograms, & logos. The other half of the time you can see me working outside, making impressions into clay with hundreds of garden favorites to create "permanent watercolor art," from a tiny 1" pendant to a 3 foot wall hanging art piece, intricately patterned big leaf bowls, or gigantic bouquet serving trays.
Whether I'm creating a dozen small wearable art gifts, hundreds of ornaments, a single tile impression of a local wildflower, or a striking display piece that features an entire garden, I enjoy doing what I do, love both the feel & the look, and believe it shows.
I work primarily in garden & botanical themes, to which I apply my signature watercolor glaze. I work in fine, white earthenware clay, kiln-fire twice, & employ natural elements from my garden to create one-of-a-kind, organic, appealing & memorable pieces for all interior settings & occasions.
