Getting a head start

Just out of the kiln - my first custom painted portrait ornament of the 2011 Christmas Holiday Season!!

The bride and groom looking quite happy to be man and wife...

The ornament ~ drawn, painted and ready to be fired. 

The finished ornament ~ fresh out of the kiln, ready to be packaged and shipped.  Whew, working on this ornament made the holidays seem much too close ~ especially when the summer heat is still baking our plants!  But then, I guess not everyone waits until the last moment to do their holiday shopping ~ unlike yours truly.  Therefore, Merry Christmas in July!
