Visions of Sugar Plums: Jackalope #2 (ornament)

Visions of Sugar Plums: Jackalope #2   gouache and acrylic on glass

My second Jackalope ornament is different from the others and is painted red on white, and it is the final ornament that I am creating for my set Visions of Sugar Plums.  

• This final ornament I am offering is another woodland Jackalope, a mythical creature, painted in Scandinavian color palette, acrylic and gouache on a glass globe. Each ornament comes ready to hang from your special tree with a gold ribbon, and arrives with it's own cardboard box for storing and display. Each ornament is hand-painted by me, Gretchen Ellen Powers, and is completely unique and one of a kind. I am asking only $100 a piece for them + S & H. Available for a limited time only in my shop.

This magic and jolly little creature wants to find a home in your lovely Christmas trees, and family traditions. 

Sneak Peek: Visions of Sugar Plums

A progress shot and sneak peek at some hand-painted Christmas ornaments. I will be offering these for a limited time only. Each original painted globe is one of a kind, and will be available for $100 + S & H.

I am enjoying this process so much, and I imagine that this is what it must feel like to be an elf at the North Pole.  Fa la la la la la.

A Hand Sculpted Fox

My hands have been working in a bit of clay this past week. Amid my festive fa-la-la-ing, it's been a tradition since I was a child to make a new ornament to adorn the tree each December. So I decided that our tree was severely lacking a Vulpes vulpes presence. But no longer! 

Say hello to Thaddeus Fox.

He was crafted in the following way:

• Handsculpted in polymer clay, 
• Baked in an oven, 
• Lovingly painted by hand. 

The final touch was the thin piece of rope to hang him by. 

He definitely has made the tree extra spiffy.
