Works in process

A set of ornaments
One for a newlywed couple and one for a "husband who has everything"

The bride and groom ornament will be going across the border to a couple in Canada.  The home portrait is for a friend of mine whose husband is in the service.  After 2 years in my home town they recently moved back to their home in Tennessee.  These two ornaments should be finished and ready to fire in my kiln tomorrow.
Therefore - back to work I go.....

Homes along the northeast

Today finds us visiting homes
built  in the northeast
 A traditional two story home in Maryland
A craftsmen style home in Pennsylvania
A ranch home in Maryland
And a brownstone in New York

I love having the opportunity to see and create the various style of homes built across our country!  If you'd like to add your home to my collection please click here
