Ho Ho Ho

After teaching my cermics class how to make jugheads, see picture below, I was inspired by my wife, Connie, to try something for Christmas. I'm considering entering into a Christmas show in La Mirada. Connie suggested I try making some jugheads that look like Santa Claus. So, I started last night and almost finished it. (I think it looks like a Mexican Santa.)

I'll post a picture when I'm done, but it's rather interesting. It looks like a very old fashioned Santa. Almost reminds me more of Jack Frost. But once it's glazed, I think it will be pretty cool.

The one I made is pretty large, so I'm thinking of making some much smaller. The boutique I may enter is asking for vendors to sell things on the small side. Most of my stuff is probably bigger than they want. However, my sister-in-law, Cathy, is probably going to send most of my ceramics back to me because they haven't sold that well at the fairs. (Nothing much is selling there.) So, that will give me a lot small stuff to sell.
