These were my salvation when I quit smoking. I’d already gotten into painting and decorating with glitter these plain white plaster ornaments that are sold in craft stores everywhere around Christmas-time. I realized that I could work on them for hours without hardly thinking about smoking, so when I quit I spent a lot of time on this project. I have dozens of them probably and even more that aren’t painted yet but are waiting for next year. I have pots and pots of paint and flourescent paint and metallic paint and pearlized paint and every kind of glitter. It’s like being a kid during crafts hour again.













This last snowman is from a kit. The kit was my first introduction to painting plaster ornaments and I enjoyed it so much I went out and bought dozens of others to paint.
