All of these are handsculpted stoneware, created in Lunenburg County the Balsam Fir Christmas Tree Capital of the world! There are lots of tree farms near our rural home.
These new ornaments are made with ornament hooks embedded in them, instead of heavy wire, which means they're now finished on the bottom. There were 28 of them total at Jenny's shop, they're $25 each and include a wire ornament hanger:
 |
| Lobster, whale, seagull |
 |
| Reindeer and an owl wearing a Santa hat |
 |
| Three Great White Sharks, 2 wearing Santa hats, and a baby Harp Seal which looks like it might be in some trouble... |
 |
| Close up of a shark and the seal, where they've decided to be friends |
 |
| Bald Eagle |
 |
| Polar Bear and Squirrel |
 |
| Flock of 5 sheep with a donkey |
 |
| Four Fish |
 |
| Farmyard friends: Horse, Goat, Rooster |
 |
| Four doves |
 |
| Birdfeeder Buddies: Blue Jay, Cardinal, Chickadee |
 |
| Fox |
 |
| The Blue Jay, from above, demonstrating how these new ornaments hang with a simple wire which is provided for all of them |
I also brought in 5 older ornaments:
 |
| A seagull, displaying my new tags, and 2 fish. These are $20 each |
 |
| And finally, two Kevin O'Leary Christmas Tree Heads. There will be another post coming up about these now that I have some nice pics of a bunch of them hanging in a hawthorn tree. |

This has become the time of year when all I want to do is make ornaments, so I am working on another firing that will include some new whale and dolphin ornaments for the shop if all goes well!
