about the process

            
                     
       

the process begins by pouring the finest clay into a plaster mold.  once the clay sets, the unfinished piece is carefully released and parting lines are removed.  the piece is then hand cleaned and prepared for painting.

          
                     
       

the painting process begins by first sketching a design that conforms to the shape of the ornament.  detail and color are then added.  each design is an original painting.  no decals or other means of mechanical reproduction are ever used. 

         
                     
       

after detail is checked and rechecked the ornament is personally signed.  it is then ready for final glazing and firing.  

         
                     
                     
        i hope you enjoyed learning a little more about the process each ornament goes through before  it is ready for final shipment to you.
