Jingle Snowman Ornie




This unusual Ornie begins with a large 3 inch jingle bell. My own hand made paper clay is added to create the snowman's face and hat. Polymer clay is used for the eyes. Once dried, the entire piece was hand painted with acrylic paint. Chalks and oils were then used to create highlights and shadows. Finally, the piece was sealed with a matte sealer to protect the paint and keep the colors vibrant for years to come.

This piece was created by me, Kim Owens, in my smoke free home in sunny California.

It measures three inches by four inches and will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.

Helping Hand Snowbird Feeder






This funky snowbird feeder is sure to add a touch of whimsy and color to your winter garden. It features a glove-clad snowman's open hand that can be filled with birdseed to help our featherd friends through the chilly winter days. There is already a whimsical cardinal waiting to make new friends.

Helping Hand measures 8 inches by 5 inches and comes ready to hang on either a shepheard's hook or from a tree branch.

This piece was created using my own hand made paper clay over a plaster of paris cast of my own hand. Once the paint and details were completed I covered the entire piece with a two part heavy duty shellac to insure protection from rain or snow.

Helping hand will come to you signed, dated and ready for display.
