Merry Christmas from Texas! An ornament for Texans, or if you have been through Texas, or you don't live here but think it's awesome in Texas, or your mom lives in Texas, or you want to collect ornaments from around the world places: like Texas, and so forth! :) Made to order, this little beauty measures about 3 1/2 inches east to west and about 3 1/2 inches north to south. The ornament width is about a 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I start with a blob of white clay, roll a slab, cut out this shapely Texas, and add the text. I brush over a light dust of red clay, then I fire twice with a top coat of black and brown glass glaze. The tie at the top is hemp twine. Made to order items can have color, shape and texture variations that I will do my best to keep at a minimum. My mom used a Texas cookie cutter when I was a child to celebrate cookie eating. I had saved it all these years and began making Texas ornaments (that particular cookie cutter had to retire recently). Though I am not the best cookie maker, I have found that Texas makes a very attractive ornament. Ceramic items are delicate. I prefer to use mostly recycled packing items, but with the delicacy of ceramics, I will be using some new materials to ensure it gets to you in the same condition it left here. Please remember that the items I am selling contain vintage and/or recycled materials. They can and do have signs of age and wear. I have cleaned them gently. Also, I am selling items that I have lovingly handmade. These are all unique and can have marks of character that are part of the making process. Thanks for stopping by! <3
