I finally ran out of ways to procrastinate and started working on this year's ornaments. It's odd how it takes such an effort to start these (and it gets worse every year). I really enjoy the work, and when I finish with my creations, I think to myself: why don't I do this more often?!? Coming up with the ideas and the research can take some time, but I've had this year's designs in my head for weeks. I suspect that I drag my feet because I am uncertain I can translate what's in my head into the clay. That, and I never know where to start.
Eventually I just sit down with the clay and the rest starts to happen. This is ornament #1 - for my nephew. So far, lots of green. I've told some people what I'm making, but the rest of you will have to guess (and then wait over a week before I can tell you - he won't receive it until the 29th).
Happy guessing!
