Last look before delivery, clay ornaments for 2023 gifting.

Some already dispersed to the electrican and power company utility worker that restored my power working well into the dark evening hours,

Had hoped to do snowmen, ended up doing Santa Stars.

Did one golden Santa star sample and switched it up to be red ( left gold on reverse side wood side of the blank).

First the wooden star cutout was covered in a dimensional clay form on one side only.

Left to dry then Santa formed, tiny eye bolt placed in cap.

Painted and as a final touch placed a dimensional holly spring in the cap that was mold casted separately.

Used simple inexpensive generic molds to place the clay forms on glass and plastic ornaments.

Did deer elk (or reindeer) birds and a Santa.

Some thicker and layered applications than previous years.

Most of the molds and air dry clay preformed well.

Matte painted sealed and hanging trim added -now ready to distribute with holiday cards.

Additionally added some mica flakes to border edge of a decoupaged wooden square.

Have had the mica flakes for some time - looking for a purpose or need.

Need to think of more uses for these mica applications. A few go a looong way.
