This is an ornament that I did do last year, but I just love it so I did him again this year. These work so nice as additions to garlands along the fireplace, and as super nice size gift tags. The back is blank so you add anything you would like. This is a design based on one from Kim Christmas.
I just adore Katrina Roncin....she is one talented primitive artist, and designer. I found this paddle at a yard sale, and painted it a deep Rookwood Red, and then added this adorable snowman. This paddle is a great size measuring 17" tall. I then added mica flakes to the bottom at the snow line to give is some extra texture and sparkle. Love the way he turned out.
Last but not least was my favorite entry. This is a 5 hole reproduction candle mold. I only had one of these left and so I chose to do another Renee Mullins design on it for Christmas use as well as Winter. This piece is very versatile since I left the sides and back blank so that after the season is over, it could be turned around and used all winter long, and only you would know it had snowmen on it.....:)
