I'll be painting animal ornaments again this fall and taking orders for Christmas. The new price is $5 per ornament (1 animal per). If you would like a specific animal or breed (I can do custom ones with your actual pet too) on an ornament please send me a PM with your order. I'm going to try to get some done for the swap too, plus I'll have some of my older samples to sell at the swap as well. Here are some examples of what I can do.
ETA: If you order please include a ornament color choice. The available choices are:
blue, red, teal, gold, silver, pink/gold, purple, white
I also have some special shaped ornaments like red hearts, green elongated and some others. I have smaller ornaments I will do for $3 each.
Please remember that darker colored animals look better on brighter ornaments like silver, gold, pink/gold, and white.
I can't put a protective coating on ornaments ordered this late in the year (coating has to be done outside in weather over 65degrees) so ornaments ordered now will have to be stored wrapped in soft cloth or facial tissue to prevent scratching and chipping of paint or in an ornament box with the image facing up so that it does not come into contact with the box. If you decide you would like your ornament coated I can do it next summer for you at no extra charge. Coating the ornament causes most to have an antique look because the reaction between the actual ornament paint (the blue, red, etc...) and the glaze causes cloudy spots and sometimes crackling of the ornament paint, however it does not in any way affect the acrylic animal image.
I can say that I never coat the ones I keep for myself and the animal images have never chipped or scratched. I just store them wrapped in cloth in a regular ornament keeper box.
