Thursday Thirteen 182: Homemade Christmas 3

During the last two weeks, I've shared some of the handcrafted ornaments that I personally have made for my Christmas tree. Some of my friends and family are also crafty people, and I thought I would share some of the gifts received over the years from one such friend. KM is really into ceramics and makes something different every year, as many as 30 or 50 to give away to friends, coworkers and family. As my parents often received one as well, I now have doubles or companions to many of those made. I can't wait to see what she has poured and painted for all of us this year!

This one is so shiny and smooth it was really hard to photograph. Black cats because she has two of them.


This set of Holly Babe ornaments was made for me a couple years ago. Very fragile and heavy, and too pretty not to photograph together. You should be able to get a larger view if you click on the photo.


Between what has been bought or made for me, I could probably do an entire T13 on raccoon ornaments. I'll be nice and spare you...this year. *wink*


KM poured and painted the ornament herself. The raccoon is a decal. Everyone received one of these one year, but with decals suiting their own likes or interests.


One of the yummiest ornaments on my tree. There should also be a gingerbread boy, but he seems to have gone missing. Hmmm...



Don't you love the faces of this whimsical duo?


Pale blue dove. The flowers are decals.


Cats of all sorts are a popular theme.
Not that any of us have or like cats. *Snicker*


Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers icicle snowmen. I remember she had a difficult time with these, as some of the icicles either did not set right, or broke when she was trying to remove them from the molds. They are as fragile as they look.


This one was made to commemorate a summer trip during which we saw several lighthouses. Decal over a smooth ceramic disc.


There is a companion trowel with a bunny peeking over the left side. Sorry I didn't think to photograph them together.


There is also a pink one of these. I much prefer the blue.


Frosty and friend bearing gifts.
