Christmas in July

What did you do on your summer vacation? Well, let me tell you about mine to get the conversation rolling. I must have wa-a-a-y too much time on my hands because I decided to tackle painting another Santa Claus. My first experience in painting a ceramic Santa came in December, and I completed it just in time for the holidays. However this time, I decided to chronical my progress for those skeptics out there that can't believe I did it all by myself. Yes, I think that would be you, Stacy, my dear (heeheehee).

So here he is.


At the store

12 hours in


20 hours and counting



After 25 hours


A work of art in a mere 30 hours

You, too, can do this.

It will be very exciting to see his colors after firing. I will keep you posted on his baking and make a grand reveal, that is if Ms. Willie will let me take him home!!
