Oh that is so cute...does it take long to 'do a piece'?

not real long--it depends on the piece.
If I am under a dealine & am using stains, once I clean it & get the greenware fired, I just bring it home & it can be done in a few days.

Awesome, Carol. You do some very nice work.

Thank you so much Tina

Hey ..Sheri ,

Thank you so very much Barb.

I think I have shown all of my stuff that I have made up to now, or at least I cannot remember waht I have not shown.
---BUT as soon as my froggie & such are fired I will gladly post what ever else I do.
Currently I am staining a Santa Claus that is holding 2 teddy bears.

Hey, everyone--here is my latesat project in ceramics---5 "flat" snowmen. They have happy faces on one side & sad faces on the other---
These 2 snowmen are of the same pose--I had 2 poured.


These 2 are of the "sad" side--still kinda cute though....



Then finally is the last one--The twinkle in his eye was put there by a friend of mine at ceramics---it is a Snowflake twinkle--I hope you can see it well enough...



Thanks so much for looking----

That is a cute twinkle! You do good work there.

They're adorable, thanks for sharing.

Wow Carol,

The work of a genius........Bet your kids will share in your loot.............

My sis in law had that business once, she is no longer living.. But she had her own kiln an stuff.
Prices were high.

Keep on painting Carol.......Who knows what you may get.. Are you able to order your own figures to be poured? Or do you have to just use theirs?

Nice work!!!

OMG, those are just to cute for words.

I'm telling you Carol, you need to start selling some of your items.

I must unpack my Christmas items to post a pic of the little Nativity that Carol made me last month. Absolutely beautiful It is such a treat to get those gifts from you.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. This is the one time a week that I have "Carol time". It really means a lot to me



Dodge:
The people that have this business have their own molds--& as long as he has the molds, we can buy the items from him. Otherwise we usually go to a ceramics show that is held one time a year & we buy things already to paint there & bring them back to jerry's shop. he will then charge us for the paints & firings that is/are needed to complete the piece.
"Jerry Dale" has the mold for these 4 snowmen. (This one mold has the 4 snowmen to it) I had painted them all darker so I asked him to sell me 1 snowman extra and that one I painted yellow, to off set the others.----he is in the first picture above,


Well, We have thought of that--but really I am not good enough at painting the eyes to sell them to people. And besides, even if I concentrated on the things w/o eyes, it takes so long that I could not make much profit.

I just got done looking through this post and LOVE all the painting you do on the ceramics! I would never be able to pick out my favorite, although the Holloween stuff is just adorable. Keep up the "Carol" time, we all enjoy it!

Thanks Bobbie..

They're so cute.

You do such wonderful work, Carol. One can see how much care you put into each piece!

Thanks Sheri & Lynne.
So tell me Lynne--don't YOU have a Jewelry or Knitting thread around here someplace??/ I know you do beautiful work as well---

Yes Lynne does beautiful work and I have a necklace to prove it.

I have a few pieces of Lynne's work too, and Yes, Sheri---I agree, she does very nice work.

Here are my latest pieces:

The Yellow one looked better before I re-did the eyes---but oh well--you live, you learn..

Thanks Carol, Actually I like the Yellow one best, YOur really neat on those.
Love the style..Never old fashioned.
Congrats on job well done.

Thank you so very much, Barb, you are so kind.

Awe, I love the little ghosties!

Gee Thanks, James....

Cute!
I'm looking at one of Carol's pieces right now...a garden gnome sitting on my refrigerator.

Aw, I had so much fun making those & sending them out.

Is the one you are referring to a little one (like 6 inches or so) or a bigger one ?....I just tried to look and apparently I didnt write down what gnomes I sent where...My Bad...

and thanks for the kind words..

I am lookin at mine too, From Carol's Collection..

Seee?

Love it

Sweet,Carol. You do have talent.

lovely stuff.
