Another Painting Adventure . . . Clay Pot Snowman

So my previous post started out telling you about Saturday night painting adventures with my friend Kim, and this post will continue on that same subject. Actually, I think I started to tell you about THIS adventure and the last post took a turn to the beginning of our painting adventures starting with https://www.wineandpalette.com . Ok, so now I am back on track to tell you about our latest painting/craft adventure that started back in August 2014. Why August? Because that is when I received an email reminder for the Hillsdale Craft Fair 2014.
Kim had never been involved in craft fair sales but we make a great team in everything we do so we put our heads together and came up with a craft I had never seen at any other craft fair. Something that would be a sure bet hot item for sales. This is what we came up with





 . . . and I must say, we have enjoyed every minute of making these!! :)
We have been crafting them since August, getting prepared for our craft show in November, actually we ended up selling at 3 different shows in ONE WEEK!!!
We made them so no two are alike! Each one took on their own personality as we painted their face and then decorated them. We spent every Saturday night making these clay pot snowmen. Storage was a bit of a problem since we could only fit 2 per box but we made room . . . lol  lots of room, just waiting for November 1st, 6th and 9th when we could show and sell our adorable little snowman pots! Kim even created the pattern for the floppy snowman hats and sewed them! Some of the hats I crocheted.

Needless to say, they are a big hit! Who can resist an adorable snowman face? They just make you smile . . .

For any of you who want to know more about this project just ask me!
