I like to try new things out and sometimes clients will ask if I can make something based on something they saw. That is how the Ceramic Christmas tree got started. My facebook friend Monica asked me if I could make her a tree like the Danbury mint tree and I looked at it and saw all the dogs that were involved and thought of how long that would take me to create all those dogs and then I worried about making the ceramic tree itself and making sure the little individual colored lights would fit in the holes I created after the clay shrinks and how the light kit would fit the hole I make for it etc.So I started looking at pre-made ceramic trees that I could add my own sculptures to, this was the solution and a big savings for anyone that purchases this artwork, because if I had to create the tree that would have easily doubled the price I am charging. The first tree I bought for Monica actually came unpainted as a kit and since I spent several hours hand painting it therefore this tree ended up being more expensive then the pre glazed tree I have used many times since that first tree. When I found the source for the pre-glazed Ceramic tree I also found the pre-glazed lighted Gingerbread houses, which I have added my sculptures and accessories to. 

Then I saw the nutcrackers poping up in stores and thought wouldn't those look adorable as cavaliers, so I tried that out, switching out the faces and adding paws. The first two nutcrackers I made were very popular so I bought more nutcrackers of every variety (many Christmas styles, Kings, Sports themed, Wedding, Beach themed, Patriotic etc.) Scroll down to see the finished ones that have been sold along with nutcracker styles I have available to turn into cavaliers. I also have Nativity Scenes, Glass and Non-Glass globe ornaments, hanging ornaments for custom paintings, miniature nutcracker ornaments (Kings and Ballet Angels), Christmas Tree Angel toppers etc. I also started doing other Holidays, see a lot of my Halloween art that follows the Christmas items.

This first tree that I made for Monica is the one that started the light up Ceramic Christmas Trees for me, it is all custom painted including the tree and base and I included  a cordless LED light, the price for this type is $350 plus shipping

This second tree was purchased as an already glazed ceramic tree with a corded light kit, I hand sculpted and hand painted the dogs and added accessories.The ones pictured are sold. I am custom making more of these. The price for this type is $275 plus shipping

I also did a version of the tree where the tri color had the lights in his paw instead of the mouth and the black and tan had presents instead of hot cocoa, below are those versions.

When i saw the ceramic pre-glazed tree I also saw the light up gingerbread house and thought to myself, hey I could probably do the same kind of thing with it and wouldn't that be cute! This is also $275 plus shipping.
