“Simply Charming Cedar Waxwing” Ornament
by Judy Westegaard

Cedar Waxwing

Here we have another one of Judy's popular bird ornaments, the snazzy cedar waxwing. His coloring is beautiful and his decorated ornament has just enough detail. His pretty adornments add just the right amount of bling for this eye catching bird. Note the hour shorter length on the class time, this little guy should take a bit less time to paint than some of his predecessors. He's a great addition to the collection of distinguished feathered friends. Class fee includes pattern packet and paint, $28.00. Surface fee includes adornments, $16.00.

“Quid Pro Crow”
A simply charming ornament by Judy Westegaard

crowornament

Judy has designed another of her wonderful bird ornaments and I had the pleasure of painting it with her at the HOOT convention in Ohio in August. This time we have a wonderful crow adorned with all of the flashy trinkets he has collected sitting atop a perfect autumn pumpkin. As with all projects, the picture of this guy just doesn't do him justice. If you liked the previous 2 bird ornaments you will love this one too. Please let me know ahead of time if you would like to have extra surfaces so I can be certain to have all of the pieces for you. Class fee includes pattern packet and paint, $32.00, and surface fee is $17.00.

“Chickadee Clock”
by Lynne Deptula

Here is another great project I was able to take at the HOOT convention. This clock is just adorable and just the right size. It is 10" in diameter and the clock is 3", so it would look great hung on the wall in a special place for the winter season but it would also work equally well on displayed on a decorative easel. Lynne has designed another winner here with everybody's favorite chickadee's and lovely holly and berries to make it perfect for winter, not just Christmas. We had a blast painting this one. Class fee includes pattern packet and paint, $32.00. Surface fee to be announced soon.
