Every part of the 3.5 inch ceramic ornament is hand touched by me making each one a unique piece of art. I sketch the custom portrait in pencil then outline the drawing with black glaze. The design is hand painted with non-toxic, lead-free pottery glaze colors. Afterwards, I paint the area around the design in a contrasting color, personalize the back, sign my work, coat the entire ornament with a non-toxic, lead-free glaze then fire it in my kiln.
Due to the incredible amount of time and work put into each and every ornament I do not feel comfortable offering discounts for multiple orders. Thank you for understanding.
Once finished the ornaments are carefully packaged to ensure a safe and successful journey from my studio to your home.

Feedback:
Best etsy purchase ever. Both were gifts and both recipients were speechless. I will always order this as a new home gift for friends.
I just opened this, and burst into tears! It is so beautiful, and so perfect. I am counting down the days until Christmas to give it to my husband. THANK YOU!
